Gear

**Gear** is in reference to armor and weapon parts that can be salvaged through an assortment of methods, from crates to post-match rewards. On top of offering minor buffs known as Perks, Gear offer visuals that can help your Hero fighting in style with a variety of fashionable options.

## Overview

In Multiplayer, each hero has unique gear that they can equip in customization. Their armor and weapons are composed of three different pieces each, six in total. The armor is made up of the Helm, Arms, and Chest. The weapon's pieces are dependent on the hero, as not all weapons have a blade, hilt, etc.

With the gears comes perks which help grant minor passives to a Hero's kit, granting that much bit more customization to a player's game. On top of this, Gear offers unique visuals that can help you, the Player, customize your own unique look for your Hero.

## Perks

Each gear piece has either one or two perks associated with them. Depending on its rarity and level, a gear piece with have different values for the perks. Rarity affects the maximum perk value a piece of gear can have, while the level will designate how fulfilled or unfulfilled these perks are in value. At Epic and Legendary rarity, all gear will have two perks.

A perk becomes active when the total value for it across all equipped pieces is at least 600. If the value for a perk is below 600, it will not activate. However, the menu will show the potential amount of value a Hero may attain if they maximize their equiped gear, shown in *yellow*. Even at common rarity, it is possible to have two perks active. At Epic and Legendary rarity, it even becomes possible to have a third perk available for use.

Each Hero has 7 perks designated to them from a perk pool of 21. This perk pool has 7 perks from two of three of the perk groups: offense, defense and assist. Which groups it takes from and its distribution determines the passive play style a Hero may go for. However, a Hero does not have access to all 7 perks from the start, as common rarity gear will only choose 3 perks to start with. With each rarity tier, a new perk becomes accessible. Perk combinations explained in the next tab.

See more on the dedicate Perks page.

## Other Gear Values

* Perk Value
* Gear Levels
* Gear Rarities

Rarity for a gear determines the possible maximum value that gear can have when fully leveled together with what combinations are available to them. The lowest level Gear of a Rarity will start out with 100 Perk value missing; leveling the gear will allow the Gear to attain these missing points, granting 20 points per level.

At Epic and Legendary rarity, there is a possibility for two things to happen to a gear (both can be present on a single gear, and is much more guaranteed when scavenging for gear at higher Reputation levels):

* The gear's maximum value is increased, while increasing drastically the amount of points one perk has by up to 60% (called "doubling"). **This is marked in italics.**
	+ Most Legendary gear will automatically have this increased perk points, and is guaranteed past Reputation 9 for all Perk combinations except the highest Perk rarity.
* Both perks receive a ♦ called "Refinement," designating a bonus to their maximum value points. When levelling a gear through Refinement, it only adds 10 Perk points compared to the usual 20 for normal levels.
	+ Maximum value points earned from Refinement is affected by the above increased perk value.
	+ At Legendary levels, there is an even smaller chance of receiving one more rank of Refinement, shown by having both perks have two ♦ instead of only 1.

### Perk Combinations

Depending on the Gear's rarity, the Gear with two perks will have a certain combination of perks available to them together with how much points is allocated to each perk. As a result, there are a multitude of perk combinations that a Hero can go for, even reaching three total active perks. However, this also means there are a few perk combinations that are not available.

Perk value distribution will be represented with 1 Level being equal to a maxed perk (for example, 200 at common level). While some combinations will note itself as 3 Levels, this just means 3 maxed value will be distributed between the perks noted.

* Common:
	+ 2 Levels in Perks 1, 2 or 3
	+ 1 Level in Perk 1; 1 Level in Perks 2 or 3
* Rare:
	+ 2 Levels between Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4.
* Heroic:
	+ 2 Levels between Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4.
	+ 1 Level in Perks 1, 2 or 3; 1 Level in Perk 5
* Epic:
	+ 3 Levels between Perks 1, 2 or 3.
	+ 2 Levels between Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4.
	+ 1 Levels in Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4; 1 Level in Perks 5 or 6.
* Legendary:
	+ 3 Levels between Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4.
	+ 2 Levels in Perks 1, 2, 3 or 4; 1 Level in Perks 5, 6 or 7
	+ 2 Levels between Perks 6 or 7.

Gear level is a number displayed in the bottom left corner of the icon. Levels are most important within their rarity category, and should not be compared to the level of gear of other rarities. This is because unleveled gear in one rarity category can be overshadowed by a maxed out gear in a lower rarity tier. As such, unless fully leveled, gears of lower rarity should not be easily dismissed.

### Upgrade

Gear level can be increased at the cost of Salvage and Steel. The cost increases based on level:

Salvage is obtained by dismantling unwanted gear. Dismantling grants higher Salvage, equal to around 5 times the gear level (5 Salvage at level 1 compared to 105 at level 25).

So far, there are 5 rarities of gear: common, rare, heroic, epic and legendary. The rarity of the gear you obtain is dependent on your Reputation Level with the hero and will affect what perks you have access to.

### Rarity and levels

Each rarity has a gear level range of 6 and the game does not allow to upgrade past the maximum level for that rarity: 1-6 for common, 7-12 for rare, etc. The only exception being for Epic and above gear, which can be refined.

### Trivia

* Epic rarity was added in V1.07.
* Legendary rarity was added in v1.11.

## Gear Visuals

There are many different appearances, or visuals, of gear for each Hero. The visuals are completely cosmetic, and do not affect the perks of the armor/weapon piece. However, not all visuals can be found from the start. The common rarity has only a handful of visuals that can be obtained, with further visuals being unlocked by attaining higher rarity gear. Therefore, to receive more visuals, a player needs to level up the Hero's reputation.

Once a visual is attained (each Hero's gear has their own default visual they start with that is among the common visuals), it is possible to apply that visual to another gear. Changing the visual of a gear costs Steel, and will cost more Steel along with additional Salvage when changing rarity tier. Payment is considered with a comparison to the Gear's rarity and the visual's rarity, meaning that changing the appearance of an Epic gear with Rare visuals is more costly than changing among other Epic visuals. A gear cannot apply the visuals that is of a rarity above its own rarity (ie. a Common gear cannot equip Heroic visuals).

Sometimes, lower tier visuals will adapt higher tier values as the gear has a higher tier, therefore having the base cost, not being considered as a lower rarity visual.

### Star Weapons

Each Hero also has multiple matching sets of star weapon pieces. They are marked by a white star to the right of their name, and can only be found for heroes starting from reputation level 3. Star Weapons are very rare, but can be found among loot drops and other methods of obtaining gear. It should be noted that they do not provide any benefits over non-star visuals, neither do they cost anymore than other visuals of the same rarity.

Like other unlocked visuals, Star Weapon visuals are visible in the cosmetic menu, but will be shrouded in darkness with only its silhouette visible. The Gear has to be obtained in order to see the details of the visual.

### Event & Battle Pass Gear

During Events and in the Battle Pass, special visuals are accessible and cannot be obtained once the event or Battle Pass is over. Event visuals have a special crest to the right of their name; Battle Pass gear are simply noted as "Battle Pass" gear in their description. Just like Star Weapons, they do not grant any benefits over non-event visuals.

Event visuals are able to be applied to all gear rarities, but are 300 Steel more expensive than the base cost. Meanwhile, Battle Pass visuals can be applied for free.
