#Destiny 2 270 to 280 mod

Or, they could have been extremely lucky and Zavala could have been the mystery Vendor who had higher power gear (this is also possible to have been the case). They could have gottten lucky drops with Legendary Mods on them. They could have turned in either Luminous Engrams or Zavala's Quest for weapons such as Nameless Midnight or Origin Story so they were getting higher Power Gear. They aren't wearing their highest gear (they are actually mid 270's wearing low 270's gear). This may or may not only work once you reach 300 (305 with Mods) on all gear slots though.ДЄs for your friends getting better loot than you, one of several cases or combinations of these could be occurring. Reddit sometimes updates with which Vendor has Legendary Token drops. It's really hard to keep track of though. Another weird thing is that it seems like one of the Vendors at random, give higher than softcap gear. But I also on occasion get 297's, so it isn't always consistent. I routinely get 298 and 303 Legendaries on PS4 at 305. It starts at around 10 Power Levels below you at 276 and starts to close that cap to 2-5 once you hit 305. The Rare/Legendary Softcap does increase as your Power Level increases but it isn't always consistent. I also can't confirm this, but I believe Zavala's Strike Quest rewards are also considered Powerful Gear.

Like somebody mentioned, Legendaries can on a rare occasion contain a Legendary Mod already. Powerful Gear (ie Luminous Engrams), drop between 5-10 Levels above your Power Level (that is your highest possible Power Level including any possible loadout you could have, including items in your Vault, with the limit of only 1 Exotic Weapon/Armor at a time). Exotics cap at 305 (because they always include a Legendary Mod). Everyone has been pretty much accurate about their advice.
