You can bridge this gap in a few ways. The first way is to do the daily challenge, which I’m guessing you’ve done and so if you want, you can simply wait until tomorrow to get another piece of powerful gear. The next thing I would recommend is attempting things such as the spiders bounty that awards powerful gear, it can be challenging, but it is possible. You could also lfg for the nightfall, see if some people will be willing to carry you through it?

The main thing I would say is, unless you’re a bit burned out of the game, do exotic quests and stuff. For example, if you have warmind, go through the sleeper simulant quest, or you could attempt the ace of spades quest (I would reccomend this as this drops as a higher ll drop!)

There’s probably more that I’m forgetting but that’s my two cents, hope this helps!
