Are you still only allowed to equip one exotic weapon and piece of gear?

Yes.

Got to 265 last night. I haven't done any side missions or Nightfall. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I did play the Crucible a bit and have done a couple of strikes.

What should be my focus, now that I am +260, to be more efficient at leveling?

Milestones will be a big benefit.

Agree on the milestones. Random exotic drops will usually net you a high power level, but sticking to the weekly milestones is a must.

If I had to make an LFG group right now and needed like 1-2 people I'd instead ask that people have the emblem you get from completing the raid.


Seriously? Wtf.

Raid has been out two days and you require completion.
You must be a fun guy.

Destiny 2 has been confirmed a hit on consoles, with record-breaking sales and engagement.


Everyone suspected Destiny 2 would have a big launch, but Activision today outlined just big it was. According to the publisher, the game had the biggest “launch week” of any console game released in 2018.

In particular, digital sales were a big factor in this, surpassing the original Destiny. Destiny 2 was the PlayStation Store’s global hit, seeing more day one sales than any other game in the history of the platform. The publisher did not reveal hard numbers for any of this.

As our Destiny 2 guide shows, there’s a lot in the game to wrap your head around. Perhaps that’s why Destiny 2 has also broken franchise engagement records. Bungie previously announced over 1.2 million concurrent players at launch, but that’s not all.

For eight days in a row, there were over 1 million concurrent players in the game, resulting in the biggest ever week one concurrency for the franchise. That’s a lot of players trying to level up, earn Exotic weapons and Exotic armour and generally get ready for the end-game.

The PC version is, of course, yet to release. Destiny 2 launches October 24 on PC.

I would grind the heck out of public events. I did about 12 yesterday and got two exotics. Just make sure you try to make them heroic as much as possible.

We have commented on this a number of times but you are in good shape if everything you have said is true.

To get higher, you should do all the weekly quest first and the nightfall. These are the ones that show "powerful engram" in your milestone tracker. That is how you will get items with a base power higher than 265.

Then you should complete your exotic quest chains as those exotics drop at very high power level. It is best to do these last so you can max the power you will increase. Everything takes into account your base power when dropping. You get those chains from finishing all the missions on each planet. 2 of them are very easy. 1 requires the nightfall and one the raid.

Only do this after you finished all your weekly and exotic quest chains that you can.

Now grinding public events before 260 is the way to go.

What are the challenges that show up on the right side on the screen vs left. If you complete those will it drop high gear also?

The challenges that show up on the right are typically just the daily challenges. They tend to drop rep tokens, glimmer, and XP. Similar to the old daily bounties in D1.



The weeklies that drop powerful gear/luminous engrams (Basically the same thing).

Flashpoints
Call to arms (crucible)
Weekly Nightfall reward from Zavala
Raid rewards
Trials of the nine rewards (crucible)
Clan Nightall
Clan Raid
Clan Crucible
Clan Trials of the nine

Yeah I did all my milestones already, except the raid. Tapped out at this point, and ready for the reset!

I'm stuck at 276 right now.

Got to 7 wins earlier, but had a loss. It's somewhat difficult to adjust to the new playstyle and slower TTK.

Yeah man trials are rough. Can really rustle some folks.

The anger I suffer compared to just regular crucible isn't even close.
