Got on earlier today and was able to reach 1250 base power without the artifact. About an hour ago I went to do my 3 strikes to get that pinnacle and when it dropped it gave a helmet at 1250. I thought I was losing my mind and checked to be sure that I was actually 1250 base and sure enough I was. I thought maybe it was a fluke and went to do my crucible and I got legs at 1250 once again. I am assuming that the intent is for it to be like last season where core activities give +1 pinnacles like last season but I guess that isn't the case. If anyone else can confirm on this I would love to make sure I'm not the only one having this issue.
