Are you wondering why your Guardian’s power level is displaying lower than it should in Destiny 2? It’s quickly turning into a hot question for many Destiny 2 players! In fact, confusion surrounding the matter has become something of a roadblock for many players, since so many activities are gated by power level. Without further ado, here’s our guide!

What’s Causing Power Level to Display so Low?

Oddly enough, the root cause of this glitch mainly has to do with heavy grenade launchers. With the recent launch patch for the Season of Plunder, Bungie buffed heavy grenade launchers considerably more than they intended to. As a result, heavy grenade launchers have been disabled until the resulting balance issue has been resolved.

If you’re wondering how this factors into your power level, the answer is that disabled items don’t factor into your average power level whatsoever; it’s as though you have an item with a power level of 0 equipped in that slow, which drags your average down quite a bit.

As such, it’s advised that you use heavy weapons other than grenade launchers in the heavy weapons slot, as these will behave normally in terms of calculating your power level.
