In fact, I recommend this - after spending time on the slow climb past 900 with my main, seeing numbers leap upwards every time any old piece of gear drops for a new character is really damn satisfying. Go run a few activities to get a feel for your new Guardian and you’ll hit 900 extremely fast. If you just want a head start to shave a little time off getting to 900 Power, you’re good to go. Here’s where things can get tedious, so you have to decide what you want to get out of this. Get a full set of armour to raise your Power level even more. You might not realise this at first, because the rare armour in your collection is all set at 750, but once you get a full set, the second set you pull will start to increase in power dramatically, rubberbanding upwards to your character average. And since your average Power is now somewhere around 800, the armour you pull out of your collections will also be somewhere around 800 Power - and significantly higher than the 750 Power armour your alt is currently wearing. Now you can go into the Collections menu, which keeps an inventory of every item you’ve discovered in the game, and find the tab for “Levelling” armour for your alt’s class (Hunter/Warlock/Titan).įrom here, you can spend Glimmer and Gunsmith Materials to pull out blue (rare) armour at a Power level a few points below your average. Their 900-plus Power levels will give you a boost extremely quickly. Hustle over to your Vault, and pull out all three weapons you stashed earlier. Once you’re clear of the opening mission all new characters start with (it’ll take you perhaps 10 minutes tops if you hurry) you’ll find yourself in the Tower with your fresh-faced Guardian. Now you can log out with this character, and log in with your new Guardian. Next, make sure your seasonal rank is 10 or higher - 15 is better, and 20 is best, but 10 will work just fine (You do not have to pay for the season pass, we’re working with the free tier of rewards here). Then, make sure you’ve got a healthy amount of Glimmer and Gunsmith Materials to spend - let’s say 100,000 of the former, and 100 of the latter (but really, you want as much as you can get). Once you do, you’re going to take three weapons, one for each category (Kinetic, Energy, Power) that are at the highest Power level you can spare, and stash ‘em in your vault. There’s no real way to quickly level an alt until you have a main character that’s, at the very least, at the soft Power cap of 900. Lucky for you, it’s extremely easy to get a new character up to speed in about 20 minutes.

But if you’re already deep into high-level play with the character you started with, resetting back at zero (or 750, the Power level all Destiny 2 characters now start at) isn’t the most appealing idea.
