For players cradling a pristine, optimal Spare Rations, this is tough news.Įlsewhere in the post Smith talks about Bungie's desire to remove some of the fear of missing out built into the current seasonal system, though he doesn't say specifically how just yet. It's a big shift in the game designed to solve "the problems with weapons that last forever".

So, for example, if a player infused a power level 410 weapon into their Better Devils, they may need to hit level 32 in order to use the hand cannon again.Īs players make the long climb to Destiny 2‘s new Power level and character level caps of 600 and 50, respectively, they’ll need to be paying attention to the level requirements of the new gear that drops, especially if they are looking to infuse it into another item. Bungie warns that if players take a piece of gear that is locked out due to the character level requirement and infuse that into an existing Year 1 weapon or armor, that Year 1 gear will subsequently become locked with the same character level requirement as the previous piece of gear. This presents itself as gear that is greyed out and has a red “Level x required” tool tip. As has been the case with previous expansions as, gear with higher Power level has a required character level to equip it.
