Hey everyone, I haven’t played Destiny 2 in over a year and I feel like a complete newbie! I just got back into the game, finished the Beyond Light quest, and unlocked Stasis. Now I’m really unsure about my next steps in building my character. Can anyone help me figure out where to go from here?

Welcome back! Here’s a great roadmap to help you get started:

1. Level up a legendary Ghost shell with the Glimmer Boost mod.
2. Grab a subclass starter kit from Ikora Rey in The Tower.
3. If you haven’t already, complete the Shadowkeep campaign.
4. Aim to raise your Guardian Rank to 5 for some extra unlocks.
5. Purchase new Light subclass abilities from Ikora.
6. Try grinding the Onslaught activity for some solid weapons, and let Zavala know which ones you want to boost the drop rates.
7. Work on hitting a power level of 2,000.
8. Once you unlock mods, experiment with buildcrafting by focusing on your Resilience and stacking Resist mods to generate Orbs of Power.
9. Finally, jump into end-game activities like the Master Nightfalls and the Prophecy Dungeon!

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve already got the final shell equipped, and I’ll check out the subclass starter kit today. I’ve finished the Shadowkeep campaign, and I’m at about 1960 power. Any tips on raising that further?
