Before the Forsaken expansion, players should be able to reach Power Level 400 in Destiny 2. But be careful when infusing! Here’s what you need to watch out for if you don’t want to waste your 400 weapon!
The first teams were already done in just under 20 minutes with the Prestige mode of the World Eater passage. As a reward, there was among other things a weapon with a Power Level of 400. However, there were big eyes and open mouths when infusing. Because it doesn’t work the way one would expect.
Weapons with Power Level 400 – Caution When Infusing!
Confusion Surrounding the Infusion of 400 Weapons: Numerous Guardians were quite surprised yesterday when they infused their first weapon with a Power Level of 400 into their favorite gun. Because for many, the infusion did not change the desired weapon at all. The Power Level remained unchanged. Others reported, however, that they were now, for example, proud owners of a 405 D.A.R.C.I.
What Was Going On? As Bungie has now confirmed, it is a bug. Guardians were not supposed to be able to infuse the new 400 rewards from the recently launched Prestige Raid sectors into other weapons at all. Apparently, due to the bug, it is still partially possible, but it often works differently than players expect. The studio has already taken up the issue and is working on a solution. However, they did not say when to expect it.
What You Should Watch Out for When Infusing: Infusing the new 400 weapons was not intended and therefore partially fails. If you don’t want to waste your newly acquired 400 weapon, you should pay attention to the following:
- Infusion only effective with Exotics: Currently, you can easily infuse a weapon with a Power Level of 400 into a corresponding Exotic. It works as usual and raises the exotic weapon to a Power Level of 405.
- Avoid infusing into legendary weapons: Infusing the 400 reward into another legendary weapon of your choice is faulty. Normally, it shouldn’t be possible at all – for most weapons it isn’t. However, you can infuse the 400 weapon into another legendary raid weapon. This will, however, only raise it to 380/385. Thus, you would unnecessarily waste the valuable Prestige sector loot.
- The workaround also doesn’t work: There is theoretically still the possibility of infusing Exotics to a Power Level of 405 and then using them to feed other legendary weapons of your choice. But even in this case, the desired weapon will end at 380/385.
- Legendary 400 weapons: If you want a legendary weapon at 400/405, you must keep the reward weapon from the Prestige raid sector. There is currently no other way to do this.
- For players without Warmind: Players who do not own the Warmind expansion should be particularly careful when infusing. If they infuse a 400 weapon into a legendary weapon, they will temporarily lose access to that weapon.
Until Bungie offers a solution, you should either keep your Prestige sector reward with Power Level 400 or infuse it into a suitable Exotic. With all other options, you would simply waste your hard-earned 400 weapon.
Has this bug also cost you a 400 weapon? What do you think about the fact that the new 400 rewards apparently weren’t intended for infusion?
