What gear and level based stats are normalized in Destiny Crucible Multiplayer?

What doesn't carry over (becomes a normalized amount)

  • Base defense
  • Base weapon attack

What does carry over

  • Weapon progression (including damage bonuses)
  • Armor progression (Including Defense bonuses)
  • Abilities
  • Character progression (stat upgrades)

This means that even though they are on relatively equal starting ground. A Level 20+ will have an advantage over a level 5, but not so much that the low level doesn't stand a chance.


The video below tests and compares 3 auto rifles proving that attack does not effect damage but impact definitely does.
