Honestly, GMs are easier than they used to be, thanks to power creep. Just make sure you have gear that helps stun champions; that’ll be crucial! Remember, even at a lower PL, you’ll get boosted to within 5 of the highest team member. But don’t rush it; run lower-level content first for practice!

GuardianForLife -

Good point about the stuns! Stun locking champions makes things manageable.

ShadowHunter99 -

Definitely. And it’s still important to know how to avoid pitfalls even if GMs are easier now.

TitanFallen -

There are no exclusive catalysts from GMs, so you’re better off running strikes for those. Getting some practice under your belt on easier Nightfalls can help you understand the game mechanics before diving into GMs. It can be a tough learn if you go straight to the hardest content!

NovaBlast89 -

Agreed! If you start with GMs without understanding what to expect, you might just end up frustrated.

FallenGuardian -

Plus, you might face some backlash from other players in Fireteam Finder if they see your power level.

SnipedInTheBack -

While you can technically tackle a GM Nightfall at 1989, you might want to think twice unless you have a solid fireteam. You won’t be able to get any catalysts exclusive to GMs since they don’t exist, so consider running strikes instead. Plus, keep in mind that if your teammates are much higher level, your power will be raised to within 5 levels of them, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be a bit of a liability unless you know how to handle the mechanics. Just a thought!

CleverNickname -

Yeah, and keep practicing! You can do a base Nightfall to get the hang of things before jumping into GMs.

NightfallNinja -

Exactly, you should focus on leveling up your character more before attempting GMs.
