Destiny 2 power cap not increasing for the first time ever with Season of the Deep BungieFor the first time since seasonal power increases were implemented in Destiny 2, Bungie has announced the upcoming Season of the Deep won\u2019t be pushing Guardians to new levels upon its arrival. When it comes to the power fantasy in Bungie\u2019s immensely popular Destiny 2, nothing quite compares to, well, your literal power. With each new major expansion and seasonal update in between, players have come to expect an increase in their Power level. As challenges ramp up the difficulty and more endgame activities are introduced, reaching a higher Power-tier is one of the game\u2019s fundamental tasks. Almost everything you do leads to some form of increase, be it a minor gear upgrade or a major Pinnacle boost. However, for the first time since swapping over to the seasonal model in Destiny 2, Bungie is changing its approach. With Season of the Deep just around the corner, Guardians would be wise to keep expectations in check as devs have confirmed there will be no Power increase in the next chapter. Power levels won\u2019t be rising in Destiny 2\u2019s Season of the Deep The current Power cap, as implemented with the launch of Lightfall, will remain unchanged in Destiny 2\u2019s next major season, Bungie announced in its May 4 TWAB blog. \u201cFor the first time, we will not be increasing the power bands in Destiny 2 in Season 21,\u201d devs revealed. Thus, existing milestones will continue on over the course of Season of Deep, meaning players currently at the peak of their Power, will remain stagnant until roughly September, when the season should conclude. As a result, the following power bands will remain intact throughout Season 21: Power Floor (1600) – Soft Cap (1750) – Powerful Cap (1800) – Pinnacle Cap (1810) – In light of this unprecedented change, Bungie is looking to accommodate with a pivot away from many Pinnacle Legendary drops. As they won\u2019t be quite as essential moving forward, devs are \u201cchanging the rewards for the basic \u2018complete activities\u2019 challenges to a focusable Powerful Exotic engram. \u201cThis gives most players three to nine free, achievable, and deterministic weekly Exotic engrams, ready for focusing. But yes, you will be losing some pinnacle drops, so reaching the Pinnacle Cap will be a bit slower for everyone. We are hoping the need for less pinnacle drops continues in future Seasons, but we will be looking at feedback and analytics, and are ready to adjust as necessary.\u201d Time will only tell if this change works out for the better in Destiny 2\u2019s Season of the Deep. But rest assured, we\u2019ll keep you updated here with all the latest as the new content drop comes into focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
