While we have the attention of your eyeballs, feel free to delve into our guide to the best Destiny 2 guns for PvE, which makes the perfect accompanient to our guide to infusion. But how does it work exactly and what else should you know? Let us fill you in. That is where infusion steps in, a system that allows you to ‘level up’ your equipment to make it more powerful, which in turn helps maintain or increase your character’s overall light level. What it, like us, you want to mow down alien scum using the laughably powerful Nameless Midnight scout rifle or Sunshot exotic hand cannon? You could, of course, battle your way through these fights using items with the highest attack or defence value, but what if you want to make a specific weapon more powerful?

Getting to the ‘soft cap’ of 265 light is fairly easy if you complete missions, challenges and generally keep busy, as loot is usually provided around or just above your current light level – regardless of what you have equipped.īut beyond that, you need to smash your way through Destiny 2‘s more difficult content such as the Leviathan raid, weekly Nightfall strike and Trials of the Nine PvP event, or complete heroic versions of missions. The issue with light level in Destiny 2 is that it becomes more difficult to raise. Not only does it provide access to certain content such as the Leviathan Raid and Nightfall strike, it governs the damage you do in most aspects of the game and is a way to show off your prowess at the Tower (if that floats your boat). In Destiny 2, your light level is important. Curious how to infuse weapons and armour in Destiny 2? Here’s the full Recombu guide, including how to do it, how it works in terms of numbers and why you should bother.
