Power Cap in Destiny 2 Lightfall Explained

The soft cap in Destiny 2 Light fall is 1750, the power cap is 1800 and the pinnacle cap is 1810. Completing the campaign on legendary difficulty will get you to soft cap quickly while you would need to have powerful or pinnacle gear in order to reach 1800 and 1810.

Some of the things that you can do to get pinnacle or powerful gear are:

  • Farming Prime engrams
  • Completing featured raid and dungeon of the week
  • Through vendor bonuses on Tower
  • Getting 3 Nightfall completions
  • Completing the Witch Queen
  • Completing the 6-player activity Terminal Overload
  • Completing Season of Defiance

After reaching the 1800 power cap you can boost yourself up to the pinnacle cap of 1810 by obtaining pinnacle gear. Of course, this is if you wish to grind and get to the power cap as fast as possible. If you aren’t in a rush and you actually find your perfect gaming experience in a steady tempo of leveling up then do it.

More ways of reaching the power cap will definitely be discovered as players start completing quests, raids, and seasonal events.
