Destiny 2 Finally Undoes "Gunsetting" With The Final Shape's New Power System
Bungie is making major changes to Destiny 2's Power levels, the measure of your character's strength that dictates how difficult content is, in its upcoming expansion, The Final Shape. The biggest change is a new system called Fireteam Power, which brings everyone in your party up to five levels below whoever's Power is highest, which should allow anyone to join friends and play just about any content they want. That has an interesting knock-on effect, though: It undoes a move Bungie made four years ago, when it "sunsetted" a bunch of guns by putting an upper limit on their Power stats.
The impact of Fireteam Power
The changes to the Power system are outlined in Bungie's latest This Week in Destiny blog post, which goes into detail about how the entire system is getting overhauled in The Final Shape. First and foremost, the Fireteam Power system will allow you to play just about any content with your friends, so long as someone in your group has a Power level that's high enough to play that content. The person in a group with the highest Power level becomes the Power Leader, and everyone else gets their Power brought up to five levels under the leader's level, if their Power isn't already the same or higher. So if your Power level is 1950 and you're playing with someone at 2000 Power, when you go into an activity, your Power level will jump up to 1995 for that activity.
