These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 9 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Destiny 2: Powerful loot is divided into several tiers, granting you different power boosts. Higher tiers, therefore, provide you with a higher power boost.
- Tier 1 (up to +3 above the current power level)
- Tier 2 (up to +4 above the current power level)
- Tier 3 (up to +5 above the current power level)
- Peak equipment (+5 or more above the power level. The only equipment that goes above 960 and up to a maximum of 970. From 960, up to +2 power)
