Loot dropping 3-5 levels lower than equipped gear

I’m not even sure I can get the help I need here, but here we go. I was playing with a few buddies last night and was mentioning how the majority of my loot drops the past few months have been 3-5 levels below my equipped gear. For example, I have a 1283 primary equipped and had about 8 drops last night for that slot in the 1277-1278 range. They were all getting gear at or slightly above their level. This wasn’t a thing until a few months ago. Is this a general change or is something happening with my account? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

  • Run every powerful reward activity you can until you hit 1300. Primes help as well. Also keeping items that are one or 2 levels above your current level in your inventory can actually help with drops if you don’t want to infuse every piece of gear

  • Hello there, Gear drops are not based on slot. The power level for new gear is based on your maximum total gear score. So if you are 1320 total your incoming drops will drop at 1320, even if the slot they are filling is your highest piece at 1325.
