Anyone else having pinnacle drop below light for the second week in a row?

Pinnacles are 2 to three levels lower than the slot and were that way last week too.

  • That can be normal. Please check out a leveling guide, you don't appear to know how the system works. Drops are based on your average light, not the current light level on your current item.

  • You do realize the drops are based on your average, and not against each individual piece of gear right? That is where Bungie’s RNG comes into play and you start to get a lot of duplicate rewards. Do this, try to level your lower pieces of gear first using Powerful rewards, and then use your Pinnacles. You will get less duplicates that way, although it still happens a lot.

      • For weeks! It is a normal for me. Some crap about algorithm but I see it as sabotage.

        • The last two weeks I've noticed this too. Maybe a bug. I'm sitting with all my gear at 1554 except one thing at 1553 and I keep getting pinnacles from the 'higher output' activities at either 1554 or 1553. Please tell me this is a bug and that's is getting fixed soon.

          • you might not have the LL you think. all drops go off of base power, and they will be +1/+3 based on where you get them. every pinnacle ive gotten has followed this pattern since i started playing.

            • Yep. My level was 1551 (excluding artifact) and I got a 1550 drop. Twice. Bit frustrating to say the least, feel like I’ve wasted a week’s opportunity

                  • If they are like previous seasons - they ignore artifact so they go off your base gear, but some pinnacles are like +1/+2 and others like IB tend to be +2/+3 Honestly,pinnacles just need a terminal for "focusing" to a specific spot by this point.

                    • Yes I’m having same problem. All my gear sitting at 1550 but my cloak and it’s at 1553 and only gets drops of 1550. Not to mention the terrible numbers I’m getting on my armor drops.

                      • It's a -blam!- system and has always been to get light in this game. Same slot dropping over and over again. Worthless system that needs to be reworked but will most likely not be. Probably gonna sell pinnacles for different slots at Eververs for silver only soon.

                        • All drops in the game drop based on your average base level, not the level of individually slotted pieces of gear. For example, let's say you have all 3 of your weapons at 1555 and all 5 of your armor pieces at 1550, which isn't abnormal if you are swapping weapons to an alternate character. Your average level in this case would be 1551 (which is 1551.875 rounded down). If you go for a Pinnacle, it will always drop 2 levels above your base level, which would be 1553, even if you get a weapon drop. If you have large gaps between different pieces of gear, I would recommend doing Powerfuls before Pinnacles in order to "fill in the gaps" to get more usefulness out of your Pinnacles. Using the same example as above, if you instead went for a Powerful piece of gear, it would drop at 1551, and if it dropped as an armor piece, it would bump you up to 1552 base power. Then you could continue to do Powerfuls on this character until you exhaust all Powerful sources, with any luck, if you got all 1552 gear, you could get to 1553 base level, which would allow you to get 1555 Pinnacle drops. Knowing how the system works really helps when going through the power level grind.

                          • I only have had this issue with the weekly story pinnacle in the HELM, after defeating the 10 champions I got a 1550 piece gear despite being base gear level 1557. I think this happened since I also got a powerful completed at the same time with opening the runic chest.

                              pinnacles are based on your OVERALL power level, NOT by slot. if your overall PL is 1530, a pinnacle could be 1534 even though you may already have an item or two that are 1535

                              • Nope. This is likely because you don’t know how pinnacles work.

                              • No this ain’t a thing. You just are not familiar with how leveling works. Back fill your slots with powerful drops and season pass items before picking up a pinnacle so you can give yourself the best chance of it mattering.

                              • The power level of pinnacles is NOT based on the slot it drops for it is based on your OVERALL power level. Some pinnacles are +1 and some are +2 of your OVERALL power level. You can be be at OVERALL power of 1554 & have an item that is 1556 as I do. If I do 3 crucible games my pinnacle will be 1555.
