You Can Start Beyond Light and Unlock Stasis at Power Level 1050

As a passionate Destiny 2 player and content creator, I‘m often asked – what power level do you need to start the Beyond Light expansion campaign and unlock the awesome new Stasis subclasses?

The short answer is 1050 power.

Power Level 1050 Lets You Start Europa Missions

When Beyond Light released in November 2020, the minimum power level to launch the starting Europa mission "Darkness‘s Doorstep" was 1050. According to Bungie‘s latest patch notes as of Season 19, that 1050 requirement is still in place.

So as long as your guardian has surpassed the 1050 soft cap, you can travel to Europa and kick off the Beyond Light quests and campaign missions no problem.

Now the recommended power for "Darkness‘s Doorstep" is technically 1060. But from all the Beyond Light content I‘ve created over the past 2+ years, I can confirm 1050 is plenty to handle that first mission and explore Europa. My advice would be to focus on story missions first before taking on Empire Hunts or other challenging endgame PvE content.

Stasis Unlocking Starts Very Soon in Campaign

Another major reason most players purchase the Beyond Light expansion is to wield the Darkness-powered Stasis subclasses for the first time.

The good news here again is access comes very fast – completing just the 2nd or 3rd campaign mission "Deep Stone Crypt" allows you to pick between the Warlock, Titan or Hunter Stasis class.

So you aren‘t forced to grind for dozens of hours before harnessing all that sweet crowd control power. Get your fragments and aspects unlocked after the campaign and Europa world content to customize your build even further.

According to DestinyTracker, Stasis subclasses now have usage rates between 10-15% in Crucible – on par with popular Light 3.0 picks like Voidwalker, Sunbreaker and Nightstalker. The Beyond Light poster children might be two years old, but they still melt bosses and freeze opponents in the meta today.

Reaching The Soft Cap Fast Helps Your Stasis Grind

Once you have Stasis equipped, your next goal is unlocking all of your Aspects and Fragments to round out your custom subclass build. This involves completing quests for the Exo Stranger, Variks and Elsie Bray across Europa.

And this grind will go faster if your seasonal power level is higher – around the soft cap of 1200 or above.

• Having a 1200+ power guardian means all Rare (blue) drops from public events, lost sectors and other activities will boost your level
• Being 1200+ makes harder Europa quest steps safer – like clearing Empire Hunts and Eclipse Zone events solo
• There‘s still tons of good loot in the expansion even two years later – fromDescrating sword to powerful armor sets.

Reaching the 1200 soft cap might take 10-15 hours if you focus on:

• Completing The Witch Queen or Season of Defiance campaign
• Knocking out weekly vendor challenges listed on the Director
• Running strike playlists and seasonal 6-player activities for drops

So in summary, 1050 is all you need to unlock Stasis itself – with 1200 making obtaining aspects and fragments a bit smoother.

Either way, the Darkness awaits! Equip those Salvation‘s Grip grenade launchers and get freezing! This expansion still delivers amazing content two years later even without seasonal activities.
