For those who haven't figured it out the level difference is capped at a hard 40% damage reduction. Otherwise a lvl 20 couldn't damage a lvl 26 at all. The lvl certainly does make a difference, but it is about as subtle as doing a lvl 20 mission at lvl 18.
I'm lvl 27 and I notice that most lvl 29 people can out gun my by about 1 shot. Its not much, but it makes a difference.

Hard caps are bs, and it defeats the purpose of the mode.

Well asking for proof usually gets folks to stop talking out of their ass, good day sir.

Sorry at work. I have to sneak away to check these. Nice attitude BTW, I'll try to find the link about the hard cap when I get off. The damage u vsn calculate urself like we did. Its pretty obvious once u do.

A 40% reduction would make a 32 damage headshot deal ~20 damage. There are videos of Level 4 players with the starter Auto Rifle, which normally does 32 damage to the head in the normal Crucible (or Iron Banner when you hit the cap), dealing 29 headshot damage to Level 28 players. That's not even a 10% damage reduction and that's the largest gap in gear you can get, pretty much.

Ur right, its not a direct 40%. Its part of a more complicated equation. But I'm gonna try and post the link because I don't trust my memory right now.

I can tell you the damage is more based on the level of your guns and armor (their rating is 267/300) rather than your light level. But that's all I remember.
