How to Get Pinnacle Rewards in Destiny: Rising

Destiny: Rising has a different way to collect Pinnacle Rewards, so Veteran Guardians and New Lights are experiencing a little confusion when they start aiming to get those Engrams, since the loot system works a little bit differently in this Gacha game.

For starters, the Power levels are different from the original games, and there are Weapons and Artifacts, but no Armor. There are also a lot of other things that are considered Pinnacle Rewards, so the game gets quite confusing for those who believe gear is the main source of Power in Destiny: Rising. This guide will explain how to get more Pinnacle Rewards and how to increase Guardian’s Power.

What are Pinnacle Rewards in Destiny: Rising?

Pinnacle Rewards can be obtained when players spend Pinnacle Energy or their Free Daily Rolls to obtain rewards from various sources. These might include the following:

While most Weapons and Mythical Weapons can be rolled as Pinnacle Rewards, and increase the Power Levels, Artifacts also have their own Power Level System that adds to the total of each character and contributes to the overall Power Level. For example, the equipped weapon has 1000 Power, but a Pinnacle Reward has just dropped a 1500 Power weapon. When replacing it, the Guardian will gain 500 Power.

How to Get Pinnacle Energy in Destiny: Rising?

As players might have noticed, Pinnacle Rewards are limited to a certain amount determined by the Pinnacle Energy bar, which adds 120 Energy passively each day ​​​​​​when Destiny: Rising servers reset, up to a maximum of 300. Players can also purchase Energy Packs through the Silver Dust Store, and Pandora-7’s Store offers.

Players can still earn rewards even if they don’t have Pinnacle Energy, but the results will be considerably less than when using Pinnacle Energy, and the Weapons and Artifacts will not increase in power level or rarity if obtained with the ‘Free Rolls.’ So, the best approach to use Pinnacle Energy efficiently is to save it for target farming.

How to Use Pinnacle Energy Efficiently in Destiny: Rising

In the early levels (before reaching Team Level 45), Pinnacle Energy should be used sparingly, since New Light Rewards will be abundant and will add to the Power Level of the Guardians in the Team until they reach the lower cap (or soft cap) required for participating in certain activities. Try to save Pinnacle Energy for:

• Farming Mythical Weapons in end-game strikes.
• Farming Singularity Mats.
• Operations Rewards.
• Gauntlet Timed Events: Monolith Fall (seasonal).

Ideally, players should accumulate only 240 Pinnacle Energy and invest only 60 (make it drop to 180) to accumulate 300 in the next daily recovery. This can be done to farm certain special rewards, such as Mythical Weapons, more efficiently.
