The grind from your power level in the previous season to 1250 PL might seem like a tedious slog, most especially if you’re trying to do the campaign. The items you get from vendor engrams will be 20 PL below your base PL - i.e., at the 1200 PL soft cap, the engrams from Zavala, Banshee, and others will be 1080 PL only.
As for vendors, don’t bother wasting your tokens while hoping to increase your power level.
All items in your collections tab remain stuck at 1050 PL, so they’re completely useless. Other than old Shadowkeep-specific content no longer dropping powerful or pinnacle gear, the biggest change in Destiny 2: Beyond Light is how vendors and collections work: Important changes: From Shadowkeep to Beyond Light Pinnacle cap (the maximum power you can reach): 1260 PL – From 1250 PL, you can only reach this point by completing activities that reward pinnacle drops. It’s also possible to continue earning powerful drops as you do these activities. Hard cap: 1250 PL – From 1200 PL, you’ll need to do playlist and weekly activities via the director since these drop powerful engrams. Soft cap: 1200 PL – World drops such as rares/blues and legendaries/purples will continue to drop up to this point. Every subsequent drop you get will be based on this value.
Base power level/base PL – This is your actual power level without the bonus from your Fang of Xivu Arath artifact.
