Each new season of Destiny 2 content includes an increase in the game’s Power cap, pushing you to complete activities and gather new gear to make your characters as strong as they can be. The last few seasons have raised that cap by 10 points, but in the Season of the Worthy, the Power cap is leaping up 40 points, which will give players plenty to do over the next few months.
Bungie detailed the Power rise in its latest This Week at Bungie blog, which explains some changes to the way you’ll increase your characters’ strength when the Season of the Worthy kicks off on March 10. "Power" in Destiny 2 is a measure of the total strength of your character, based on the stats of your weapons and armor. The current soft Power cap in Destiny 2 is 960, which players can reach by completing events that drop "Powerful" gear. After that, you can work up to 970 through activities that drop "Pinnacle" gear, like the Garden of Salvation raid or the Pit of Heresy dungeon. Since the release of Shadowkeep, each season also includes a seasonal artifact that allows you to keep increasing your Power by earning experience points, but those Power gains disappear at with the end of each season.
In the Season of the Worthy, the soft Power cap goes up to 1,000. You’ll need Powerful gear drops to go from 950 to 1,000, providing plenty of reasons to do weekly bounties, Strikes, and Crucible and Gambit matches. Once you hit 1,000, you’ll be able to push your character’s gear up to 1,010 using Pinnacle drops to hit the highest Power levels possible in the game. That’ll be useful with the return of the Trials of Osiris next season–in normal Crucible matches, Power levels are automatically balanced, but you maintain your Power level in Trials, which can give you an advantage if you have stronger gear than your opponents.
