The one thing I would add is here in the first week or two… don’t worry about the difference of Powerful and Pinnacle and just do your Pinnacles even if you’re below the cap. Some people will overthink it… and not get that good boost from the Pinnacle drops trying to “maximize” and it just shoots them in the foot. Only hyper elites need to worry about min/maxing drops the first couple weeks (and they don’t “need to” anyways). Average person isn’t getting all the drops because they don’t have that time to play. So just grab what’s the most efficient.
Reminder, since progress is account wide, you can go to collections tab and buy blue gear at your highest light level to upgrade other characters gear without grinding engrams.
@@Fire-Arms- it means all gear will drop at the highest light level of your highest light guardian. So if you play on your titan, all gear will drop at 1944 or higher.
I am stuck at 1991 base gear and none of my pentacle engrams while drop above 199, even the tier 3 will only drop at my base level; can somebody please tell me what is going on with this? 🤔
My friend and I are extremely new to this game and we learned the hard way that just because Shadowkeep is the first expansion to do, doesn't mean it's easy, so we're gonna have to grind and it's so confusing
6:57 I don’t know if it is just broken or what. But after completing the new zone Pathfinder a few times for the swords, it’s now only dropping 1900 level armor pieces…
do you know if the increased power for friends works for raids too? I have a friend playing for the first time in a while on Friday and I want to do the Raid so I'm hoping to bring him along since I have time to grind wheras he will likely be coming in at the base power level of 1900
The more tasks you complete in each path should increase your end reward. Either as the non diminished reward paths or preferably after because why the F is more work punished.
I'm new to Destiny 2, and i'm sat at 1950. What legendary guns do people aim for? I'm guessing it's not a straight forward answer but thought I'd ask. Or is it a case of getting to 1990/2000 and then going for specifics?
As someone said, "The Call" ( one shot mobs) "No Hesitation" (don't die gun), and my favorite new exotic, "Still Hunt". Unfortunately u have to give up no hesitation to use it, and it's value is completely up to u, but it has it's own super 🤷🏾♂️
@stevenguthrie735 Absolutely, Indebted kindness is still Meta. I said The Call because it is much more efficient to farm compared to Indebted Kindness.
watch some of the longer beginner guides on yt they helped me hella i’m a returning player that hast played since quarantine and it helped to catch up and remind myself of most things
Anyone else find it funny the power cap is 2010 and thats the year when development and concept of Destiny first started being made? Maybe im just too stoned today 😂

Wdym it does right? I mean look at the expert lost sectors they are 2020 power / 2030 for master it would surprise me if you can easily run trough that at 1900-1990 power
@@LugiaFan8045 the only destiny makes content challenging is by nerfing power level most of everything can be done at 35 under the power cap. Do you not get this. Most content caps your power below actual power listed requirment. Power level beyond that is just us stroking our egos. We use to give them a hard time about making bullet sponges so they don't technically do that anymore. We just do less damage & take more damage. Which is also the reason they can have a raid 3 days after launch most people who have finish the legendary campaign have already reached the level cap. The requirement just tells you what delta it will be at if it say 2005 it means you will be at -5 delta. Which means your power level can only ever be as high 1995 the harder the content the higher the handicap. I was doing master lost sectors yesterday at 1945 wasn't much more difficult than when I was max light if you have the right build I wish power level meant something but it no longer does. Power grinding is a thing of the past in this game.
Awesome Dlc the only thing that i wish wasn't a thing bonus artifact Power level 🎚️ grind. Don't matter how much new options they add for grind Etc it will become unbearable as you get higher points required rank up properly.

So you're saying I can upgrade hunter gear with say blue warlock armor? 🤔
Giving 5 commendations actually nets you a pinnacle drop despite what the tool tip states. Been that way for a while actually.

Weekly Raid = 1 Pinnacle
Trials of Aids PVP = 1 Pinnacle

Love the account wide change. Absolutely hate the new pinnacle system.
How come
How so
Thank you, always so easy to follow and easy understand.
My plan which I’m currently working on is getting my Warlock to 2000 then play my other characters so they’ll automatically get 2000 gear to drop
Has anyone else noticed that it takes longer to get from 1999 to 2000 than it does to get from 1900 to 1999?! 🥵
Awesome explanation dude❤ you helped me so much
This a perfect video. Thanks for getting the point immediately. Great job man.
I've spent pretty much All my time in the Pale Heart since launch. No Vanguard, No Gambit and definitely No Cruicble.
All Pinnacle Drop Activities:
1 - Nightfall 200k Total Score
1 - Rotator Exotic Missions (x2 on normal or x1 on legend)
1 - Rotator Raid (Completion only)
1 - Rotator Dungeon (Completion only)
3* - Warlords Ruin Dungeon (per character)

Thank you for this guide, I have not bought the Final Shape and need lots of help. Do you have a Discord?
Really excellent and clear video . I’m a very occasional player so the whole power system is a minefield for me ❤
Thanks!
Now the only QoL we need is account wide slot leveling instead of spending 100s of upgrade modules.
Then the upgrade modules would just be like useless though. It would be super nice but I don’t think they want to straight kill the use of them
Will powerful gear give me higher like 2000 or only pinnacle gear will give me 2000

The more tasks you complete in each path should increase your end reward. Either as the non diminished reward paths or preferably after because why the F is more work punished.
Worth noting you can pay to skip the campaign on your alt characters but you don’t get the exotic pick.
do exotic engrams help if I need pinacle drop?
I think they should have the free 700 bright dust a week per account a permanent thing
