Description

Each item in your team's inventory is worth a particular Gear Score value. The highest Gear Score across your whole team is then used to place you into 1 of 3 brackets used for Match Making. These brackets only affect the gear scores of the players you're matched with; they don't affect Monsters' stats, loot rarity, etc.

Items in your inventory that aren't equipped also contribute to this Gear Score, even excess consumables.

Item's Gear Score

Different Items provide different Gear Scores.

As of a recent update, utility items of poor and common rarities no longer count towards gearscore

Note: Stacks of items count gear score for each item in the stack. For example, a stack of 3x green Potions will contribute 3x6=18 gear score.

Misc

Misc items do not have any Gear score.

Example Misc Items:

SlotTypeInvalid Bolts.png
SlotTypeInvalid Gold Coin Purse.png

Misc are any items that cannot be equipped by anyone such as Coin Purses, Arrows, Bolts, Treasure, Hunting Loots, etc.

Brackets

Ironmace can change this very easily due to matchmaking being server sided, so this information can easily get out of date.

Normals brackets

  • Low Gear Bracket(0-24)
  • Moderate Gear Bracket(25-124)

HR brackets

  • Minimum threshold for entry (125+)
  • Low Gear Bracket(125-224)
  • High Gear Bracket 225+


Game will take the gear score of the highest player and put you in that bracket.

History

  • Hotfix 58: Experimental minimum Gear score in HR of 225
  • Hotfix ? but before HF58: Brackets changed to 0-24, 24-124, and 125+ for Normals
  • Hotfix 52-1: Poor/Common Utilities are now worth 0 GS. Poor/Common Weapons and Armor are now worth less GS. Brackets changed to 0-24, and 25+ for Normals, no brackets for HR
  • Hotfix 46: Junk/Poor/Common Gear score decreased significantly for Weapons and Armor (specifics at the patch note page)
  • Patch ?: Brackets changed from 1-199, 200-399, 400+ to 1-299 and 300+
  • Patch ?: Gear Score mechanic released

Gear Score
anonymous | Posted on Jul 31, 2024 at 1:29 pm

So are there still 3 brackets?

Low Gear Bracket(0-24) Moderate Gear Bracket(25-124) High Gear Bracket 125+

Cause this sentence here is confusing me: Brackets changed from 1-199, 200-399, 400+ to 1-299 and 300+

Raw Salad | Posted on Aug 19, 2024 at 6:17 pm

The game is currently on Hotfix 60. You are looking at the history section, and at the early iterations of the gear score brackets.

See the Brackets section for up to date brackets.

Loot drops
anonymous | Posted on Jul 27, 2024 at 5:38 pm

So if im in the moderate gear bracket the loot from gobbos and chest is also better no?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 28, 2024 at 2:35 am

doesn't seem to be the case

anonymous | Posted on Oct 9, 2024 at 6:52 pm

No, only elite and nightmare enemies have higher chances for better loot. HR is the only way to face more elite/nightmare mobs.

luck potions have no gs
anonymous | Posted on Jul 16, 2024 at 11:56 pm

luck potion is an exception too. doesnt add gs

BRACEKTS?
anonymous | Posted on Jul 12, 2024 at 7:05 pm

even no bracekts in normals atm? bruh..

anonymous | Posted on Jul 26, 2024 at 2:25 am

The point is that, if you kill better geared player you get more gold from them. since they will be better geared, also, you can get better rewards killing bosses or going hell being geared, like is more easy do the PvE gold sourceses. High risk, high reward.

Gear score = better loot drops?
anonymous | Posted on Jul 1, 2024 at 6:16 am

If I was to say wear all green gear and get put into the moderate gear or higher bracket, will these brackets give us better loot drops in the dungeons. Like instead of a green, we have a better chance of getting a blue item? I'm hoping it does because the squire even says that because of it, you will be going into more dangerous dungeons. If they don't give us better loot then what is even the point of it?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 1, 2024 at 10:21 pm

No. The only way to get better loot is highholler or getting higher luck. You will face better geared players in <25 lobbies.

anonymous | Posted on Jul 13, 2024 at 8:23 pm

Why would we face better geared players in <25 lobbies? Do you mean >25 ?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 26, 2024 at 2:25 am

anonymous | Posted on Oct 9, 2024 at 6:57 pm

No, the loot tables are the same for all three brackets in normal lobbies. >25 you will obviously face players who are stronger than <25. The only benefit is that you'll have an easier time with PvE. Personally I don't bother going into 25-125 lobbies. Starting in a lobby <25 you can easily find decent common gear to raise your gear score before going into the lower levels. Ice cavern might be the one map I might consider going in >25 because it only has 2 levels vs 3 in the ruins. Plus, it makes it easier to fight the wyvern if you have better gear.

does highroller adhere to the gear bracket or is it free for all?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 16, 2024 at 1:08 am

above

anonymous | Posted on Jun 20, 2024 at 5:07 pm

It literally says so in teh chart. yes, 0-299 is the first bracket, 300+ is the second

anonymous | Posted on Jun 23, 2024 at 6:12 pm

It now says "No HR Bracket."

Do Lanterns count as Utility or Weapon?
anonymous | Posted on May 8, 2024 at 11:30 am

The rule here states that if it is both, it follows the utility rule. I believe that lanterns still count as weapons for gear score though and would like to know if anyone knows as testing seems inconclusive

Sur | Posted on May 8, 2024 at 12:35 pm

Can confirm its actually following the weapon pattern due to some interesting design choice they have in the backend.

Grass | Posted on Jun 10, 2024 at 4:01 pm

The gear score pattern is based on what slot the item occupies, that is their design philosophy for now...

i wanna 199bracket back plzzzz!
anonymous | Posted on Apr 25, 2024 at 11:23 am

199 bracket setting is really good, make green equipment more useful, reduce the equipment gap between players, really make my game experience become very good, now 299 bracket and the launch of this system before the experience is no difference, this is really bad

Giveback199gsbracket | Posted on Apr 29, 2024 at 4:25 am

i agree with this comment. 2 buckets isn't even gbmm, that's just segregation.

anonymous | Posted on May 13, 2024 at 3:40 am

but if there was 3 queues majority of the lobbys would be empty

Gold Gear
anonymous | Posted on Apr 24, 2024 at 12:49 am

I know it was stated the only changed score craftables are the ones listed, is this including gold gear?

Grass | Posted on Apr 24, 2024 at 1:53 am

The exceptions above are the ONLY items that break the stated conventions. The table is for ALL items in GBMM. This includes gold gear. Gold gear still follows the rules listed above, we checked.

do all crafted items have a different gs value?
anonymous | Posted on Apr 23, 2024 at 3:04 am

?

Sur | Posted on Apr 23, 2024 at 3:22 pm | Last edited on Apr 23, 2024 at 3:23 pm

No, only the items in the list of exceptions do not follow the previously mentioned rules. Just added a sentence to help clarify this, thanks.

Tools
Jhinder | Posted on Apr 21, 2024 at 9:46 pm

What about the Pickaxe, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere and I don't know whether it doesn't matter towards GS or if it's technically utility.

Sur | Posted on Apr 21, 2024 at 9:52 pm

Check the note under the Utilities section

Throwables
anonymous | Posted on Apr 21, 2024 at 6:12 pm

I was curious if you knew where Throwables would be such as Franchisca's , or throwing knifes.

Sur | Posted on Apr 21, 2024 at 9:52 pm

Check the note under the Utilities section

GEAR SYSTEM DOESN&#039;T WORK IN DARK AND DARKER.
anonymous | Posted on Apr 17, 2024 at 12:03 am

I can go in with no gear or just common gear from squire my gear score is less than 100 and still get medium to high bracket gear. THIS INFORMATION IS USLESS.

Raw Salad | Posted on Apr 17, 2024 at 1:13 am | Last edited on Apr 17, 2024 at 1:48 am

That's rather doubtful. If you'd like, join the wiki discord and share the clips of player gear inspections. We will verify from your information.

In all of our testing a misplacement never happened even once, so perhaps you've misunderstood something about the process?

Keep in mind that if you're loading into trios, it's quite easy meet teams that abuse the gear score averaging system. If your teammates are completely naked, you can wear better gear than would be typical. See the section about averaging for more info on that.

Sur | Posted on Apr 17, 2024 at 1:52 am

Maybe there were a ton of consumables in your inventory besides the common gear? These also contribute

Arrows and Bolts?

Are arrows and bolts added in as utility?

Raw Salad | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 6:09 pm

Solo in Squads
anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 3:31 am

If I go solo into Duo or Trio map, will my gear score be divided by how many should be on my team?

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 1:04 pm

I only tested a few times doing solo on the duos map. But in all 3 cases, I was put into the sub 200 lobby even though I had around 230 for my gear score. So it would appear that it does divide by 2 (or 3 for crypts) whether you have other party members or not.

Grass | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 6:25 pm

It only averages out your gear score across your team, going solo into trios does not lower your gear score.

Torch
anonymous | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 11:29 pm

does torch count for gs?

Grass | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 1:36 am

Yup

anonymous | Posted on Jul 19, 2024 at 9:42 am

Nope

Both weapon
anonymous | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 10:30 pm

Do you add up both weapon ?

Grass | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 1:51 am

Yes? if you have a rare falchion and a rare buckler it is 36+28 = 64

Are consumables considered as Utilities ?

Raw Salad | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 4:13 pm | Last edited on Apr 14, 2024 at 4:14 pm

Yeah.

You can think of Utilities as anything that can go onto the player's 3rd and 4th quick-slots.

This includes things like potions, bandages, keys, throwables, etc.

DanJonJr | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 4:46 pm

Yes stacks count as multiple items. 3 white potions will add 12 gearscore

anonymous | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 6:01 pm

Does drum count as a weapon or utility?

Grass | Posted on Apr 14, 2024 at 7:11 pm

Utility

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 8:49 am

would campfires in your inventory count once, or 4 times? i know it probably doesn't but im unsure, if each inventory slot counts towards your loot score then i'd assume it would calculate it 4 times, is this the case? or will it only count once, which would be more logical.

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 10:30 am

What about bolts and arrows? Do a stack of 15 bolts count as 15x3 or is it 3?

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 11:19 am

诗人乐器算什么呢

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 3:57 pm

I know it should count towards gearscore but is the rubysilver vestments bugged I’ve been in the low lobbies and every once and a while a wizard that should be firmly in the mid bracket is in my lobby while everyone else is clearly low kit, I know his buddies may just not have any gear on to compensate but it would be an interesting bug, just to be clear it’s been consistent as someone wearing rubysilver vestments

Grass | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 6:32 pm

Gear slots are not a factor in gear score so 1 common campfire is still worth 4 GearScore

Bolts and arrows are misc items and do not have Gear Score

诗人乐器算什么呢 - 公用事业 (Bards Instruments? - Utility.)

I just checked and Rubysilver vestments are not bugged, they are worth 30 GearScore just like the other Epic chest pieces.

anonymous | Posted on Apr 15, 2024 at 10:04 pm

this is not working like that in sv br. i enter with gearscore = 191 and in my lobby there where players full purples and legendarys. good luck
