To determine the ideal level to start Burning Shores, consider that the first Main Quest of Burning Shores has a recommended Level of 38, while the final one will be Level 50, which is the original level cap for Horizon Forbidden West. Starting Burning Shores at a level close to 38 will provide an optimal challenge and allow you to enjoy the DLC‘s content without feeling overwhelmed or underpowered, but having the Burning Shores DLC installed increases the level cap to 60.
