As a seasoned gamer, I’ve noticed that Destiny 2: Rising handles its coveted Pinnacle Rewards in a unique manner compared to my previous gaming experiences. It seems like both the old-timers (Veteran Guardians) and newcomers (New Lights) are finding it a bit puzzling when they set out to grab those Engrams, as the loot system in this Gacha game operates slightly differently.
To begin, the power dynamics in this new version deviate from the initial games, as it introduces Weapons and Artifacts, but no Armor. Additionally, there are numerous items categorized as Pinnacle Rewards, which can make the game appear complex for those who focus on gear as the primary means of boosting a Guardian’s Power. This guide aims to clarify how to obtain more Pinnacle Rewards and strategies to raise your Guardian’s Power in Destiny: Rising.
What are Pinnacle Rewards in Destiny: Rising?
Pinnacle Rewards are earnt by using Pinnacle Energy or your Free Daily Rolls, which can be used to acquire prizes from different sources. Some examples of these could be:
1. Using energy points (Pinnacle Energy)
2. Utilizing the free daily rolls given each day.
| Pinnacle Reward Type | Source |
|---|---|
| Weapons – Mythical Weapons | Strikes |
| Artifacts | Realm of the IX |
| Translation Credits, Bright Dust, Glimmer, Other Rewards | Shifting Gates |
| Weapons, Character Materials, Glimmer, Other Rewards | Daily Front Lines Boss Rewards |
In this game, both regular and legendary weapons can be obtained as top-tier loot, boosting your character’s power. However, Artifacts operate independently with their unique power level system. This level is combined with each character’s overall power level. For instance, if your equipped weapon has 1000 power, but a new pinnacle reward drops a weapon with 1500 power, swapping it out will grant you an additional 500 power points.
Earning Pinnacle Energy’s rewards doesn’t require any investment, but these ‘Basic Rewards’ are less abundant and less potent compared to those you get through actual spending. These Basic Rewards won’t contribute to raising your Power Level either.
How to Get Pinnacle Energy in Destiny: Rising?
In Destiny: Rising, the Pinnacle Rewards are capped based on a specific level called the Pinnacle Energy bar. This bar automatically increases by 120 energy units every day when the servers reset, up to a maximum of 300. Additionally, players can acquire extra energy packs through the Silver Dust Store or Pandora-7’s offers.
If you buy energy in bundles from the store that go beyond the 300 limit, it will be held in a type of ‘escrow’ to be used later on. However, any energy gained for free each day cannot surpass the 300 limit, and as such, any excess will be forfeited.
Even without Pinnacle Energy on hand, players can still acquire rewards; however, these rewards will be significantly less than what you’d get when using Pinnacle Energy. Additionally, items such as Weapons and Artifacts gained through the ‘Free Rolls’ won’t enhance in power level or rarity. Consequently, it is advisable to save your Pinnacle Energy for targeted farming in order to make the most efficient use of it.
How to Use Pinnacle Energy Efficiently in Destiny: Rising
At lower team levels, such as before reaching Team Level 45, it’s advisable to conserve Pinnacle Energy as New Light Rewards will be plentiful. These rewards will boost the Power Level of your Guardians within the team, helping them reach the prerequisite soft cap for participating in specific activities. Aim to save your Pinnacle Energy for such occasions where it’s more beneficial to use it sparingly.
- Farming Mythical Weapons in end-game strikes.
- Farming Singularity Mats.
- Operations Rewards.
- Gauntlet Timed Events: Monolith Fall (seasonal).
To optimize the process for earning specific rare rewards like Mythical Weapons, it is ideal that players collect no more than 240 Pinnacle Energy and spend a reduced amount of 180 (instead of 60) in the next daily recovery. This will result in acquiring an additional 300 energy units.
