Destiny 2 is considered one of the most interesting and unique multiplayer shooters that was released by Bungie. Here you will find a beautiful space setting, a complex system for leveling up the hero and getting glimmers with the addition of an interesting storyline and storming strikes and raids. So that you can navigate well and understand what you should do and how to improve your character, we have prepared this guide, but you can turn to professionals from Skycoach and get new improvements and earnings for you easier and faster.

Power level

In Destiny 2, a hero's power level is much more important even than his level, because it shows the real fighting ability of your character. All the weapons and armor you have are taken into account and a single power indicator is formed, which affects the availability of important zones and territories for you to hunt and continue boosting in D2 and strengthening your character.

• The starting power level is the starting point from which each player's journey begins and is often a figure of 200 power levels.
• The limit on power levels for your equipment will stop at level 325, but you still need to develop to it with the help of raids and high-level strikes.
• You can increase your power levels the most in Mythic raids, twilight strikes and PVP modes at the Trial of Osiris level.

How to reach the starting power level

Complete the New World quest series - this is the introductory quest series that all new players must complete, gain experience and learn the storyline, and at the same time get some good starting equipment for your class.

• Go through story missions - you will repel the enemy's attack on the main city and at the same time push back the enemies, liberating your planet and exploring the world of Destiny 2.
• Complete contracts and go on strikes - these are two types of activities that require players to complete tasks and storm simple dungeons, designed for a group of three players. Usually these are gameplay tasks focused on killing and areas where you need to solve puzzles, destroy monsters and advance to the boss to try to get rewards from him.
• Crucible and Gambit are modes for PVP battles and serious PVE, for which you can get good equipment and weapons and greatly diversify your gameplay.
• Zavala, Shaxx, and Drifter are the names of merchants who you can turn in contracts to and receive equipment and weapons for your efforts.

Transition to mid-tier weapons and armor

• When you pass the line of 200-245 power level, the transition to more difficult, but also profitable tasks will begin.
• Weekly tasks - every 7 days you will receive new tasks from the game system, and it is important to complete them before the update period, otherwise progress will not be counted. The tasks will be different, from twilight strikes, Crucible matches and clan experience.
• Prime engrams - they drop randomly during a hunt and when decrypted you can get powerful equipment and weapons, but the drop is calculated based on your current power level, so wear the best you have.
• Seasonal Events are activities like Trial of Osiris that help players earn a seasonal reward in the form of Legendary tier weapons or armor.
• Exotic quests are tasks that will bring you exotic equipment with a power level of +30 from your current value.

Maximum equipment strength value

To get close to the maximum power level of 325 you will have to work hard, because this is the most difficult and demanding type of content to boost in Destiny 2.

• Raids - for victories in difficult group dungeons, you can always get equipment above power level 270. It is important to have a stable and experienced team, because you can also fail a trip simply by making a couple of mistakes.
• Go through twilight strikes - a more difficult zone format for three players can also greatly help in accumulating strong equipment for further boosting in D2.
• Iron Banner - take part in Crucible events and increase power levels through active gameplay.
• Trial of Osiris is a PVP battle in the arena, where for a series of victories you can earn equipment and weapons of the legendary level.

Optimizing your equipment

It is important to be able to manage your current equipment to make it easier and better to find better and better equipment for your character.

• Always wear the best equipment - the higher your current strength indicator, the more profitable trophies the Destiny 2 game system will select.
• Use mid-tier gear until you have powerful gear with good stats.
• Infuse and enhance available items to make them stronger yourself.
• Tighten up all the parameters, not just the important ones, otherwise you may start to fall behind in defense or regeneration.

Artifacts

• In each new season, players will be able to receive unique artifacts with bonuses and characteristics that increase the level of power.
• This is an additional opportunity to expand your combat potential and attract more valuable drops due to the increase in strength also from the artifact.
• Complete seasonal tasks and get the opportunity to increase the level of the artifact.
• Increase bonuses from the artifact, which will transfer to other equipment.
• Take part in temporary events and develop your artifact as long as the event lasts.

How to increase your character's experience level

To boost up an artifact, it is important to strengthen your hero further and progress above level 20.

• Complete contracts on time, and you will receive experience; tasks can be reset by spending glimmers and completing them again, exchanging money for experience.
• All seasonal challenges provide increased boosting in Destiny 2.
• Group medallions - if you are not playing alone, then such items can increase the amount of experience gained.
• Use mods to increase experience in Ghost Shell.

What to do at the final levels

Once you reach the end of your strength and experience level, you need to complete upgrading your equipment.

• Optimize your assembly - You no longer need to put on everything for a high number, now select all equipment according to combat characteristics.
• Upgrade your weapons because there will never be too much damage.
• Unlock new achievements and triumphs to collect passive bonuses.
• Complete raids and strikes of high difficulty and get exclusive and powerful trophies.
• Play Crucible and Trial of Osiris to take a break from farming and realize all your boosting in Destiny 2 and at the same time check the quality of the equipment you use.

Conclusion

The leveling system in Destiny 2 is multifaceted and not simple, but it allows players to immerse themselves in a truly interesting grind, which will consist of gaining strength for shooting and the final level, combined with a full-fledged storyline, so that every player will find something interesting for themselves.

You will complete quests and tasks, storm raids and strikes, go to PVP and PVE, collect artifacts and chase the best equipment in order to have an interesting time in a space setting and study planets and space territories.
