Global power scaling

Hi Bungie Help, I’m experiencing an account-wide progression issue where my Power level appears to be permanently capped at 300, despite playing the live version of Destiny 2 (Season 28). Platform: Xbox Game version: Destiny 2, Season 28 (current) What’s happening: • My main character is stuck at 300 Power • All gear drops (including from Vanguard Ops) drop at 300 Power • I can launch Vanguard Ops, Crucible, etc. normally • Even brand-new characters start with 300 Power gear • The Quest Archive is empty • A Guardian Rises / New Light quest is missing • Shaw Han appears in the Cosmodrome, but has no quest available What I’ve tried: • Completing multiple Vanguard Ops strikes • Creating a new character and playing the Cosmodrome intro • Checking the Quest Archive (New Light / The Past / Abandoned) • Equipping all newly dropped gear • Logging out/in and restarting the game None of these apply the modern Power floor (1600+). All characters and drops remain capped at 300. Expected behavior: • Account should receive the global Power floor • Vanguard Ops and other playlist activities should drop gear above 300 • New characters should not start at 300 Power This appears to be an account flag issue where the Power floor/New Light progression was never applied. Any help or escalation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey there, Edge of Fate brought in a 'power squeeze' when it launched in July last year. The current power floor is 10, and the gear hard cap is now 550. Ignore anything that mentions a power of 1,600-2,000, etc, as these are all now obsolete. No item will exceed 550 here and now. As the new system is 10-550, a power of 300 is well beyond the place where 'normal' loot drops will raise your power. You need to do Portal activities that offer bonus drops and aim for a high grade. That will drop higher powered gear.
