Hitting the Destiny 2 Warmind expansion Power level cap will require more grinding than in the past, developer Bungie has promised.
As part of the game’s weekly update, Senior Designer, Daniel Auchenpaugh, said that it will be quite difficult to reach the Power level cap.
“Our goals with this change are to bring back meaning and accomplishment to achieving the Power cap, to give players a sense of progression when they come back to play each week, and to reward players who engage in a broader scope of the Destiny 2 endgame content,” Auchenpaugh said. “We’ve made an effort to de-emphasize grinding public events for Exotics and to reduce the impact of clan engrams on endgame progression.”
The Power level soft cap will be 340, and the hard cap is 380. Neither cap takes +5 mods into account.
“Our target is that players who participate in all the weekly activities should take several weeks to reach the hard cap,” Auchenpaugh continued. “Raids/Trials grant the largest increases, clan engrams provide very small increases, and the other weekly sources fall between those two. Players who don’t participate in any group weekly activities are unlikely to hit the hard cap before the next release; dedicated omnivore players will hit it before players that just play Raids or Trials exclusively.”
