Before we get into the details, you should take note of the level cap for each power level.
- Soft Cap – 1750
- Powerful Cap -1800
- Pinnacle Cap – 1810
There isn’t a vast difference between Power and Pinnacle, but you would still have to grind your way past the Soft Cap. To bypass the soft cap, it is best to play the game in Legendary mode. Playing on Legendary will give you a huge boost in blue gear by 1750 if you manage to complete the campaign. If that’s not your style, you can still attain it by upgrading your characters, completing quests, and upgrading weapons.
