We have also done a guide to infusion in Destiny 2 so maybe give that a look, too, and give you the skinny on everything Xur is selling on a weekly basis. So here is the Recombu Digital guide to reaching 305 light as fast as possible, with each section broken down into detail and tips on how you can get exotic weapons and armour fastest. Because working smarter, not harder, is always the best policy in games where grinding becomes more prominent as you approach the end game. The last 15 points can be slow, but you can really improve the pace by playing smart. Repeat exotics become common (if we get one more bloody D.A.R.C.I.) and virtually all new legendary weapons you get, if new to your arsenal, will need to be infused if you want them to match your current power level. Suddenly, the probability you will get anything useful dwindles. But most vendors reward you with slightly lower light level items later in the game, with exception to Cayde-6, Ikora Rey and Commander Zavala. No longer will blue items drop above your current power level, which means only legendary purple items and weapons have a chance to be higher.
Easy, that is, until the soft cap of 265, at which point your progress – already slow by this point – gets even slower.
In the early stages, item drops typically arrive above your level and that makes progression easy.
Plus some events such as the Leviathan raid require a minimum before being unlocked. Stuck at the 265 light soft cap? Or wanting to get to 305 light as quickly as possible before the cap is raised in a future expansion? Let our handy Destiny 2 guide point you in the right direction.īecause damage you deal and the damage you receive is worked out using your ‘power level’, also known as ‘light level’, you want to get it as high as possible.
