Noob question: How does gear work?

[Bigman]

I've been a little confused for gear it will say things like 140/200 for shields up then for default armor it will say just 150 is that 200 potential amount and how does gear work in general? I can't seem to find anything about this.

[peppermint hollows]

140/200 means that the gear can be upgraded (using salvage and steel) all the way to give you 200 towards the Shields Up perk. Every hero's default gear has one perk activated, without any need to upgrade. For every perk, you need 600 points towards it to be activated. The higher your gear level, the more perks you can have, up to a total of 3. However, certain combinations are not possible, and with some perks you may only be able to have 1 other activated, for a total of 2. I'll try and grab an infographic I have around here somewhere, one moment.

It doesn't work, it's almost completely useless.

Thank you for playing for honor.

Or someone that prefers the old gear stats

Personally don't entirely mind the new gear stuff, but...I do miss the old gear stats still.

The old stats let you tailor your character in a way that you preferred from quick exhaustion recovery, revenge gain, increased damage, etc. There was variety and freedom in it.

The system is more balanced now due to everyone being varied in rep, which means gear score doesn't matter as much as it used to, but even then, it wasn't all that, but whatever.

I myself miss the old gear stats. Miss my old Stamina and Damage builds.

I mean, he's not wrong. He's just being unhelpful. At the end of the day, the perks don't make a huge difference.

I'm sorry to hear that, because I've never been happier that revenge builds are a thing of the past.

Revenge isn't even all that. Didn't mind the revenge builds myself.
