Destiny 2: How to Level to 1260 in Beyond Light/Season 12



Read more about Destiny 2 ➜ https://destiny2.mgn.tv

The level cap has been increased by 200. But the leveling system remains the same for the most part. If you need a refresher, I got you covered. Here’s how to level to 1260.

You may see a couple of strategies in the comments like the Trove Guardian or Lost Sector resetting, both of which involve quickly killing an easy target for a very high chance at an item. I chose not to put them in this guide in case they end up getting patched. I would rather just have an overall guide as opposed to focusing on 1 or 2 specific things in case they get tweaked later

  1. Such a large channel and still does not know that you do not need to put on weapons or armor to drop weapons with a higher lvl, it is enough to have weapons and armor with a higher lvl in your inventory.

  2. I must say I reached 1200 on my hunter, switch to warlock, deleted for new light and to see the new faces…damn they ruined the faces, particularly male human and female awoken…but anyway I went ahead and transfer old warlock stuff back and when I reached the first chest right after meeting Shaw it dropped at 1138…I was 1055(artifact) and I reached 1200 before I completed campaign…actually I think it was the first 2 missions + the only new light missions needed to progress through beyond light…I think it’s only 2…oh yea infinite shidebinder super is quite underwhelming in pve :/ I bet it’s more useful in pvp

  4. I know this is an unrelated topic but I think it’s one only the big names in Destiny content creators can help fix.

    Even though you’re a PC gamer, there’s some things that would probably bring in more old and new players to Destiny and could probably keep them. Better controller settings. We have 1 sensitivity. We should have at least 3 one for ADS and non ADS. But also dead zones and vertical and horizontal. I play destiny every week for a few days a week for the story and some crucible but honestly I can’t play it long because the sensitivity setting are piss poor. Every game besides Destiny has multiple sensitivity settings. Idk if u could shed some light on this if you e heard anything or get the developers ear. Thanks for reading this if you did and I love your videos!

  5. How high will blues drop. For example if I am 1200 on all slots but have a 1205 helmet from a powerful drop, how high should I expect my blues to get before I should go out and do another powerful drop?

    That. They need to desperately fix that. I literally either skate right by the target, or phase right through them in pvp. It's gotten me killed so many times It's unreal. The titan stasis melee has some serious hit box issues.

  7. Important change that I didn't see mentioned — Tower bounty hand-ins, for playlist activities, will now give the armor set for that playlist as powerful drops in a random order without dupes. This means that the bounty hand-ins are good to do first on your second and third characters, as they give armor. Also, as the weeks go on, you'll have a great idea of which slots they will reward, simply by looking at the vendor's armor inventory. If there's any that aren't buyable yet, you'll get one of those.

    Example; I started my second character with 1210 guns. Blue drops got me up to about 1205 gear, and then I was able to take one season pass armor piece to hit 1206, then the full season pass armor set in the first slot to hit 1207. I then started with Zavala's bounties, since I wouldn't complete the strike playlist challenge in the process owing to needing to use Stasis for the Europa quest. Zavala gave me 1210 boots. Then I did Gambit, where it's fairly easy to get 8 bounties done in two games. He gave me 1210 gloves, which got me to 1208. Next up is Shaxx bounties, with a 3/5 chance to award one of the other three armor slots for a +5 upgrade.

    Once all the armor-only ones are done, I'll do playlist challenges, then leave Banshee for last, hoping to get a gun upgrade.
