The comparisons between The Division and Destiny continue as more leaks continue to surface.
This morning it was reported that Destiny players may recognize something very familiar in Tom Clancy’s The Division. That is a Light level system which emerges when you reach the game’s main level cap.
If you reach The Division’s soft level cap of 30, you’ll still be able to progress your character further by picking up top-level gear.
You will then look to increase your Gear Score, which you can view on your profile and see on other top level players, displayed next to their health bars.
See the familiarity yet?
All of this information comes from fans data-mining The Division and posting their findings to Reddit.
Players previously used the same method to determine The Division’s number of campaign missions.
“Compare the Gear Score of the most powerful items in the game to know which one is the best. Increase your average Gear Score to gauge your chances against high end content and display your prowess in the Dark Zone,” the leak reads.
Destiny’s Light level system works in exactly the same way. That is with an overall average of all non-cosmetic gear equipped.
Your Light level also gates access to top tier activities, which then provide the best loot to take on the game’s toughest challenges.
Other details to emerge include word of daily and weekly missions (another Destiny and MMO staple), plus Dark Zone Supply Drops which take place several times each day.
These are global events which will attract all players to the player-versus-player Dark Zone.
