If you level up vanguard , crucible and faction rep it will drop higher gear in small increments up to 390 . Crucible is one of the fastest ways to get loot drop and gain xp . It just all depends on how you want to play the game . You can grind out leveling , you can play through the story or you can use the level booster to jump start your level . Iron banner and trials drop gear to the max light level as well as the hard mode raid . Hope this helps . Let me know if you have any more specific answers . <| sep |> Where in the world do you liveare wanting to work ? I ' d recommend interviewing someone fairly local to you . Professional software development will look very different in a Silicon Valley start up compared to a large bank in London or an outsourcing warehouse in Bangalore .
