Required Power level for Destiny 2's first Raid revealed

You won't have to do much grinding to have a chance.
Eirik Hyldbakk Furu Editor-in-Chief Norway 12 September 2017

We already knew that the first Destiny 2 Raid, Leviathan, will launch at 8 PM BST / 9 PM CEST tomorrow, so some of you might have been playing like crazy to reach the maximum Power level. Turns out, you don't have to do too much grinding to participate in the Raid.

Game director Luke Smith has revealed that the Raid will have a Power range of 260-280. This might be surprisingly low for some of you, but don't forget that Bungie has said that they want to make it easier for more people to try the Raids in Destiny 2 than in the original. This is one of the ways they're doing that. Only time will tell if this means that it'll be less challenging as well. We doubt it...

What's your Power level, and will you try the Raid out tomorrow?
