Destiny 2: What is Pinnacle Gear?

What is the max level in Destiny 2? As of the most recent season, you can achieve 1570 Light Level and grind to the max level relatively easily. Once you hit max level, you’ll likely want to begin grinding for Pinnacle Gear. But first, what is Pinnacle Gear in Destiny 2?

What is Pinnacle Gear?

First and foremost, let us define Pinnacle Gear!

In Destiny 2, Pinnacle Gear is the top-tier loot you can acquire at the highest Light Level. More often than not, these weapons and armor pieces will be slightly higher than your current power level, by +1 or +2, and will help you tackle Strikes and Dungeons with ease.

The thing is, most Pinnacle Gear in Destiny 2 comes from weekly rewards for completing unique challenges and events. And unfortunately, you can’t grind a specific piece you have eyes for; they drop randomly.

How to Get Pinnacle Gear Drops

Thankfully, to grind Pinnacle Gear drops, you won’t have to run the same dungeons or events repeatedly. You have some variety!

  • Seasonal Activities
  • Eight Vendor Bounties
  • Europa’s Weekly Exo Challenge
  • Prime Engrams
  • Exotic Engrams
  • Exotic Quests
  • Trials of Osiris
  • Season Pass Drops

You can finish one or more of these weekly with a competent group in record time to up your Light Level and farm high-tier gear.
