Destiny 2’s Beyond Light expansion is here, and players have already discovered a glitch that lets you hit the Level 1200 soft cap in less than an hour. Here’s everything you need to know to try it for yourself.

Destiny 2’s newest expansion Beyond Light is proving to be exceptionally ambitious. You will be sent to Jupiter’s icy-cold moon Europa where you will face many new challenges in your battle against the darkness.

This expansion is filled to the brim with new and familiar content for you to enjoy, but the gameplay has also been made more challenging. You may be tempted to dive into the campaign as soon as possible, but you will find yourself overwhelmed if you’re close to the base level.

However, there is a newly discovered exploit that you can make use of.

comes with greatly changed power levels.

How to hit the level 1200 soft cap fast

Bungie has changed the power levels in the game so there will be a lot more exploring and grinding involved in reaching the Pinnacle cap, but it turns you can take a bit of of a shortcut.

The soft cap level is 1200 PL, and players have discovered a new method that will help you reach that in an insanely short amount of time! So if you’re under-leveled and want to get stronger quickly, here’s what you need to do.

You will get from your current power level to 1200 within an hour if you follow these instructions:

  1. Get a fire team together and head to the lost sector in the EDZ called Widow’s Walk (located to the left of the Trostland spawn)
  2. There you will encounter a wanted enemy so take him down.
  3. This boss will drop legendary loot that you can collect to help you level up.
  4. Simply leave the sector and then return after “Trostland” appears written.
  5. Fight and defeat him again to collect more loot.
Keep spamming this battle in order to reach the soft cap quickly.

Keep repeating this process and you will collect legendary gear every time. Many players have reported that this is the fastest way to hit the soft cap.

Another way to gain legendary gear is to head to the Hellmouth on the Moon in order to farm the Trove Guardian’s Chest and public events. Visiting Nessus and taking out the wanted Hydra enemy in The Inverted Spire strike will also result in you getting upgraded gear.

These lost sectors appear to be dropping legendary gear consistently so grind them as much as you can before they get patched up!
