What is the new power level cap?
Destiny 2’s Season of Dawn raises the power level cap to 970. While a 10-point increase might seem modest, it’s rewarding for players who’ve already reached the previous ceiling. Crucially, the Master difficulty for activities remains at 980 light, so grinding for that extra 10 is not mandatory for higher-level play.
How do I get to the highest light level?
Reaching the highest power level hinges on several key activities:
- Pinacle drops: Successfully completing pinnacle activities in Season of Dawn, or even revisiting activities from prior seasons like Shadowkeep, yields pinnacle gear and armor, boosting your light level.
- Garden of Salvation: This raid is known as the most efficient way to acquire pinnacle gear, but it has a weekly cap. Form a formidable team to tackle the challenge.
- Lantern of Osiris: The Lantern is a new seasonal artifact. Unlocking its features and accumulating experience gradually increases your light level.
What is the fastest way to level up?
Maximizing your power gain in Season of Dawn involves effective strategies:
How do I acquire new Sundial Gear?
The new Sundial activity replaces the Vex Offensive. It’s a three-encounter challenge, where Guardians rack up points and complete tasks to confront the final boss, Niruul. Defeating Niruul yields Sundial gear. Crucially, equip Solar gear and subclass for optimum results, as enemies will be shielded. Remember to be wary of Niruul’s potential one-hit kill moves.
How about the new Exotic Guns?
Season of Dawn features two notable new exotic weapons:
- Symmetry: This Scout Rifle is available in the Season Battle Pass. Its perk allows switching to Arc Seeker mode, making it more adaptable for various situations.
- Devil’s Ruin: This exotic sidearm lets you charge up laser shots for devastating power.
Is there anything else to take note of?
Season of Dawn builds upon the impressive progress of Destiny 2. The accessibility and fresh content is well-received. Bungie’s content approach balances the need for a significant power increase with player satisfaction. Beyond the core content, note the launch of another exotic quest (Bastion) on January 28th, promising an additional powerful automatic rifle.
Using bounties and completing them across all three characters is a fast way to increase your artifact level. With the increased power level, there is plenty to do this season. Good luck!
