After that, the Power cap will keep going up, but you'll need new gear to match it, effectively retiring the old stuff. Once the new changes are in place, you'll only be able to infuse gear up to its set maximum Power level, which will match the Power cap three seasons after the item is first released.
But an ongoing problem, according to director Luke Smith, is that Bungie is constantly adding new weapons and armor to the game, but players don't necessarily need or use them when they already have what's considered 'best.' That allows you to increase the levels of your favorite gear so you use it in higher-level activities, such as Raids.īungie raises the Power cap in Destiny 2 periodically, requiring you to play to get better gear and increase your character's overall strength to handle endgame activities. Destiny 2 determines your character's overall lethality and damage resistance as an average of the 'Power' level of each piece of armor you equip, and you're able to cannibalize new gear with higher stats to raise the level of your older, better gear with the game's Infusion system. It's an alteration to how gear works that effectively means you'll need to farm up new armor and weapons every so often, instead of just relying on your favorite (or best) pieces indefinitely.
