Trials of Osiris is as unforgiving as it is competitive. They are receiving some minor nerfs in time for the Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion, but they still hold the potential to be top contenders even when that does happen.įinally, there are the Trials of Osiris. You can obtain these weapons as world drops or from Destiny 2 Umbral Engrams fairly easily. As far as hot tickets go, these are the spiciest currently available. There are also some legendary weapons you’ll want to keep your eyes out, particularly Falling Guillotine with the relentless strike/whirlwind blade perks and Gnawing Hunger with Zen Moment, Rampage or Demolitionist. While some of these weapons might not be the pinnacle of Exotics, each boasts a fun, unique quest. When it comes to exotics, try and pick up Riskrunner, Xenophage, Whisper of the Worm, Last Word, and Worldine Zero. Some take a little bit of grinding, while others don’t live up to the hype.

Not all of them are fun to obtain, though. There are a lot of great guns in Destiny 2-some might say too many. Pinnacle Gear is only attached to the hardest activities in Destiny 2, like raids, seasonal quests, Nightfall: The Ordeal strikes, and dungeons. Finally, and this is only for the die-hard fans, you can gain an additional ten Power Levels-peaking at 1,060-by pursuing ‘Pinnacle Gear’. Powerful Gear takes you right up until 1,050. For the initial set of levels, also known as your soft cap, all gear drops will slightly boost your various pieces of armour or weapons until you hit 1,000.Īfter that, you will need to pursue something called ‘Powerful Gear’, which is basically a specific reward from various mid-level activities. A year ago, Bungie decided to set everyone to 750PL, but in that time Destiny 2’s PL peaked at 1060. These levels act as content gates to specific events (and prove your toughness on the battlefield). Every piece of gear in Destiny 2 has a Power Level (PL). While not the most enthralling aspect of Destiny 2, it's always cathartic to chase increasingly bigger numbers.
