Destiny 2 Power Level Damage Scaling

With another expansion released for Destiny 2, players are back on the grind obtaining a higher Power Level while earning new weapons and armor. Destiny 2: Beyond Light has made massive changes to. Destiny 2 Power Level Guide Formerly known as Light Level in the first game, Power Level is a way to gate content in Destiny 2. Essentially, the higher your Power Level, the more damage you're able to take and dish out, meaning you can play more challenging missions, be that Strikes, Trials of Osiris, or Raids.

Destiny 2 Power Level and Game Mechanics Guide by AristeiaGaming

Power & Drops

The power level of dropped items is governed by your Base Power (BP). This is different from your Actual Power (AP), and is calculated as the average power level of your highest power items, not including any legendary mods on those items. The easiest way to view your base item level is to use an app like Destiny Item Manager (DIM).
- DIM is also very helpful for inventory management because it lets you transfer items between different characters and your vault, even when you are not at The Tower.
BP is affected by equippable items, regardless of whether they are on your character, in your vault, or on other characters. However, this does not include items that cannot be equipped because of class or level restrictions.
Dropped engrams do not change in power level after they drop.
Claimable engrams (such as mission rewards) can change in power level until they are actually claimed from an NPC.
Rare Items: Until BP 305, rare items will drop between BP -2 and BP +4. Beyond BP 305, rare items will drop at BP -5.
Legendary Items: Until BP 305, legendary items will drop between BP -2 and BP +4. Beyond BP 305, legendary items will drop at BP -5. However, some legendary items include legendary mods, which further increase their AP by 5.
- “Powerful Gear” is excepted from the BP 305 soft cap. These items will drop at BP +4.
- Some mission rewards are also excepted from the BP 305 soft cap, even though they are not labeled as “Powerful Gear.” These are typically rewards from story missions that can only be redeemed once per character.
- In the Leviathan raid, the first weekly clear of The Castellum will reward a BP +4 item. The first weekly clear of Emperor Calus will reward one BP 330 item.
Exotic Items: Until BP 305, exotic items will drop at BP +4. Beyond BP 305, exotic items will drop at BP -5. Exotic weapons always include legendary mods, which further increase their AP by 5.
- “Powerful Gear” rewards can sometimes yield exotic items. These exotics are excepted from the BP 305 soft cap and will drop at BP +4.

Infusion

Infusion allows you to increase the power level of one rare/legendary/exotic item by destroying another rare/legendary/exotic of a higher base power level.
- For example, infusing a base Power 260 weapon with a base Power 280 weapon will destroy the latter weapon and increase the former weapon to Power 280.
Infusion only considers an item’s base power level. This does not include legendary mods, which increase an item’s displayed power level by 5.
- For example, infusing a base power 260 weapon with a base Power 280 weapon that has a +5 legendary mod (making it Power 285), will still only result in a base Power 280 weapon.
Infusion requires Legendary Shards. These are acquired by dismantling legendary and exotic items. Dismantling legendary items returns 3 Shards, while dismantling exotic items returns 5 shards.
The rarity of infusion fodder determines the cost of infusion. Infusing an item with rare gear costs 4 Legendary Shards, infusing it with legendary gear costs 1 Shard, and infusing it with an exotic is free.
Only items of the same type can be used as infusion fodder.
- For example, only Hand Cannons can be used to infuse Hand Cannons, and only Helmets (for the same class) can be used to infuse Helmets. The only exception is the exotic weapon, Coldheart (Trace Rifle), which can be infused with an Auto Rifle because no other Trace Rifles exist.

Miscellaneous Mechanics

Ammo Drops: Ammo drops more frequently for the weapons that you are not currently using. Cycling between your Kinetic and Energy Weapons will help to keep your ammo reserves full.
Kinetic/Energy Damage: In PvE, Kinetic Weapons deal an extra 10% damage against health. Energy and Power Weapons deal an extra 200% damage against shields. Destroying a shield using elemental damage that matches its color will cause the shield to explode, staggering the target and damaging surrounding enemies.
- PvP Damage: In PvP, both Kinetic Weapons and Energy Weapons deal 100% damage to players.
Precision Hits: Explosive weapons such as Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers cannot trigger precision hits. This is also true for most melee attacks and supers.
Rally Flags: Clicking the Rally Flag before a Public Event begins will instantly recharge all of your abilities and refill all of your ammo.
Cabal Weak Points: Many Cabal enemies have a second weak point. Shooting this weak point deals more damage than headshots. These weak points include jetpacks (ex., Legionaries, Centurions) and fuel canisters (ex., Incendiors).
Emperor Calus (Leviathan): Calus is immune to all debuffs. This includes abilities such as Shadowshot and Hammer Strike.
Shadowshot (Nightstalker): Tethering enemies with Shadowshot causes them to take 35% more damage from Kinetic and Energy Weapons, makes them unable to use abilities, slows them, and prevents them from moving out of range of the Void Anchor. Damaging one tethered enemy also damages all tethered enemies.
Invisibility (Nightstalker): In PvE, Invisibility causes all enemies to ignore the Nightstalker for its duration. In PvP, it cloaks the Nightstalker, making her difficult (but not impossible) to see. It does not remove the player from radar.
Smoke Bomb/Snare Bombs (Nightstalker): In PvP, both of these abilities also act as decoys, appearing as an enemy on enemy radar.
Rally Barricade (Titan): Standing behind a Rally Barricade grants a buff called Rally Barricade. While this buff is present, manually crouching and standing back up will instantly reload your weapons. This is a much more reliable reloading method than trying to use the Barricade’s built-in ADS feature.
- Strafing: Do not strafe when using a Rally Barricade, since you may inadvertently walk in front of a teammate that is firing an explosive weapon, such as a Rocket Launcher. This can result in unnecessary team deaths.

Content of the article: 'Power level and damage scaling (TL:DR at the bottom)'

Well, since there have been quite a bit of debate of how power level affects damage output, and the usual source for this metric was outdated (Warmind Expansion). I decided to take it upon myself and conduct some damage testing in a controlled environment in order to update the information.

Tests were performed at the beggining of the Garden of Salvation raid, by hitting the minotaur the harpy is 'eating' with a kinetic Auto Rifle (Horror Story), kept at 750 power throughout the whole test (More on weapon level at the end). This area is recomended 910 power

Damage dealt with Horror Story at 750 power, without any enemy spec mod

Power Level	Delta to the enemy	Damage
794	-116	Immune
802	-108	Immune
815	-95	86
823	-87	89
824	-86	90
828	-82	92
831	-79	93
836	-74	95
841	-69	97
845	-65	98
854	-56	101
861	-49	105
866	-44	108
870	-40	111
875	-35	115
880	-30	119
885	-25	125
890	-20	131
895	-15	143
900	-10	155
905	-5	175
910	196
915	+5	196
920	+10	196

So. As you can see on the table, you need to be under 100 levels below the enemy to be able to do damage, but most of you knew this already. The thing that suprised me, is that our damage output caps out at the enemy´s level, which goes opposite to what many believe happens. Our previous belief was that our damaged capped at 20/50 levels over the enemy , but this is false.

Another thing that interested me. I tested 2 horror stories while overleveled, one of them being at 750, which i conducted most of this experiments with. and another one at 1040. Now, individual weapon level also affects the amount of damage dealt. the 750 hit a max number of 196, but the 1040 was able to hit up to 579. I also tested the 1040 while being at power level 855, and this did 301 damage (in comparison to the 750 hitting 101), thus we can see that this effects translates throughout the whole power band .

TL:DR

In conclusion, our damage output is both affected by our weapon´s individual level, along with our combined power level. Hope this clears any doubts or concerns you may have about optimizing damage output.

Happy hunting guardians
