Destiny 2: The Witch Queen levelling guide - How to hit gear cap ASAP (2024)

FAQs

What is the fastest way to reach the soft cap in Destiny 2? ›

The best way to reach the soft cap is to simply play the game, as regardless of activity, you'll receive gear up to that Power level regularly.

Reaching 1,990 Power Quickly

Before you obtain any Powerful Gear, make sure that you hit the soft cap first. Clearing the Final Shape campaign on Legendary difficulty is the fastest way of doing so, as you'll receive a full set of gear at 1,960 Power when the campaign is finished.

After that, you'll start shooting for 1550, which is known as the "powerful cap.” However, only specific types of gear (Powerful and Pinnacle) will raise your Power level to 1550, so it's a bit harder to get there. After reaching 1550, only Pinnacle rewards will raise your level until you hit the hard cap of 1560.

Destiny 2. Most likely everything that was going to be in D3 is going to be rolled into the future of D2. Bungie has recently stated that after the split, D3 is not in the plans, even in the future.

For most players, the fastest weapon XP farm is the Shuro Chi encounter in the Last Wish raid. Despite being tied to a raid, solo players can access this encounter through the raid's "wishing wall" room. Enter the encounter, place a Rally Flag if you're leveling a Special or Heavy, and farm as many kills as possible.

Alternatively, farming kills at the Last Wish - Shuro Chi checkpoint, or the very beginning of the Grasp of Avarice dungeon. You can also equip weapons at the end of an activity before the loot is awarded to get the activity completion progress.

That said, the best possible (and most efficient) method of reaching Soft Cap right out the gate is to complete the Lightfall campaign on Legendary difficulty.

What is The Witch Queen max level? ›

What's the maximum power that I can reach as a F2P? Hi there! The maximum power cap (pinnacle power cap) is 1810.

The recommended Power Level to begin the Witch Queen Campaign is 1360, however, all Guardians will begin at the same Power Level of 1350 - whether they are new or returning players. This means you can jump right into The Witch Queen without needing to grind levels or chase specific weapons or armor.

What is the Fastest Sparrow in Destiny 2? If you have been playing D2 for a long time, then you know there are rare and even legendary Sparrows in the game, and the Exotic versions are the best ones. If you acquire an Exotic Sparrow in Destiny, then you have the fastest Sparrows with 160 speed.

1810 is the max power level WITHOUT the seasonal artifact. So if you want to do 1830+ activities such as Grandmaster NFs or master raids, you need to get the seasonal artifact, level it up for the perks, as well as increasing your power level. It's been like this since every other season.

The shortest route to maxing out your power quickly is also the most challenging one in Lightfall. Doing the new campaign on Legend difficulty will see greater and more powerful rewards handed out to you, and if you can complete it, you'll earn a 1,770 power level item for each of your weapon and armor slots.
