Destiny 2 Lightfall Expansion Guide

Character Creation

Ok, first things first make 3 Guardians, 1 of each class. (There is NO benefit to having multiples of the same class)

I’ll go ahead and include this, but it’s very important if you want to min max.

Campaign

Now I recommend that you do every campaign available; Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, Witch Queen, and Lightfall.

Doesn’t matter about the order, but it’s all up to you on how easy you want your journey to be, especially as a solo player.

The reason is that many of the best items in the game are locked behind the completion of these campaigns. i.e Assassin’s Cowl for the Hunter class from the Shadowkeep story.

Doing these give you access to quests for exotics like; Xenophage and Divinity.

Also for the Witch Queen and Lightfall, do them on Legendary difficulty as they give you rewards that are worth the trouble.

Lightfall’s completion will net you a full set that puts you 20+ over the powerful cap, making your grind to max much easier.

Powerful and Pinnacle Sources

After completing the story, you’ll be immediately brought up to 1770.

Now with this, you have 2 options.

You can either grind up every source of Powerful Engrams first and move on to Pinnacle rewards after. ONLY AFTER YOU’RE DONE WITH POWERFUL, as the Pinnacle is the only thing that can get you to the max light cap.

Your other option is that with the other two characters you made, go onto them while transferring your highest light weapons to the new character making it much easier to power level. with these new characters, do the same thing that you did with the first, by completing the LF campaign on Legend, Powerful, and Pinnacles.

After that, go do the same thing on the third character.

By the time you have done all of that on all 3 characters, you SHOULD be pretty darn close.

Now to add to efficiency, do the same Powerful/Pinnacle tasks on all three characters, but in the opposite order you did it from the week before.

So it should be something like this:

• Week 1: 1, 2, 3
• Week 2: 3, 2, 1
• Week 3: 1, 2, 3

Doing it this way will have you at the pinnacle cap in no time at all.
