What is the Difference Between a Pinnacle Cap and a Hard Cap in Destiny 2?

The Pinnacle Cap is the major power level cap for players through the current expansions and/or season. You will only be able to reach it by gaining Pinnacle gear which you can then equip or infuse with something else first.

The Hard Cap on the other hand is the main Power Level cap you reach by getting Powerful gear in the game whether through strikes, the crucible, or otherwise. This cap comes after the soft cap which is the main cap below that. It can be confusing to navigate the terms at first — the best way to think about it is that the Hard Cap is always where you want your Power Level to be at or above for new activities.
