Destiny 2 The Final Shape Power Cap: Soft Cap, Pinnacle Cap, more
BungieBungie is raising Destiny 2’s Power level again with The Final Shape DLC, so here are all the Powerful Cap, Soft Cap, and Pinnacle Cap for The Final Shape.
After the release of Lightfall, the Power level was not raised in any new season of Destiny 2, including the latest Season of the Wish. The Final Shape will, however, see Bungie’s MMO returning to the old ways, and the cap will be raised again.
So, here is everything you need to know about the new Power caps for The Final Shape in Destiny 2.
- Destiny 2 The Final Shape Power Floor
- Destiny 2 The Final Shape Soft Cap
- Destiny 2 The Final Shape Powerful Cap
- Destiny 2 The Final Shape Pinnacle Cap
Destiny 2 The Final Shape Power Floor
The Power Floor for Destiny 2 Final Shape will be 1900. This means that when the DLC launches, everyone will begin from Power 1900, regardless of where they ended up level-wise previously.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape Soft Cap
The Soft Cap for Power in Destiny 2 The Final Shape will be 1940. The gap between the Floor and Soft Cap gap is considerably lower compared to the past, Lightfall has a difference of 150 (1600 to 1750).
Bungie noted this in their April 25 TWID blog post, and said the lower gap is to ensure newer players have “enough time to get familiar with the core of Destiny’s Gear Power system before stepping into the broader game without holding them back.”
Playing The Final Shape campaign will be enough on its own to help you reach the Soft Cap, and playing it on Legendary difficulty will net you a full set with 1960 Power. Of course, the usual ritual activities should do the trick as well.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape Powerful Cap
The Powerful Cap in Destiny 2 The Final Shape will be 1990. Once you hit the Soft Cap, the only way to progress forward is by doing activities that reward Powerful or Pinnacle Gear.
Some of the other places where you can guarantee Powerful gear are:
- Weekly Nightfall challenge
- Three Dares of Eternity
- Prime and Exotic Engrams
- Complete eight vendor bounties
- Gambit, Vanguard, Crucible, and Banshee rank rewards
- Seasonal activities/vendors
- Exotic quests
- Legend and Master Lost Sectors
Earlier there were a select few activities that had a chance to drop Powerful gear that is +1 than your current Power. However, that’s changing with The Final Shape as you’ll have a chance to get Powerful gear by playing every other activity in the game once you’ve hit the Soft Cap.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape Pinnacle Cap
The Hard or Pinnacle Cap for Destiny 2 The Final Shape is 2000. As the name suggests, the only way to climb from Powerful to Pinnacle is by equipping Pinnacle Gear.
Here are some of the current activities that’ll reward Pinnace Gear:
- Complete three Crucible matches
- Complete three Gambit matches
- Score 200,000 Points on Nightfall
- Score 100,000 on the weekly Campaign missions
- Hit 250,000 on the Dares of Eternity
- Iron Banner challenges
- Raids
- Dungeons
- Ritual Bounties
- Featured Exotic Missions
Of course, all of this doesn’t include any potential new activities in The Final Shape DLC and the quality of loot they drop. That’s everything about the new Power caps in Destiny 2. For more on the game, check out:
