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.

Overview

Perks offense
Perks defense
Perks assist

Each gear piece (equipment slot) has perks associated with it. The numerical values of these perks can differ from one drop to the next.

A perk becomes active when the total value for it across all equipped pieces is at least 600.

Descriptions of gear perks can be seen in game: Game Menu → Customize → Perk Definitions.

Trivia

Gear perks replaced gear stats in Marching Fire update 2.01.0.

Gear upgrade

Gear level is a number displayed in the bottom left corner of the icon. It increases the numerical values of the perks.

Salvage is obtained by dismantling unwanted gear (more Salvage from higher level gear).

So far, there are 5 known 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.

Gear Drops
Reputation Level Common Drops Uncommon Drops
0 Common Common
1 Common Rare
2 Rare Rare
3 Rare Heroic
4 Heroic Heroic
5 Heroic Epic
6 Epic Epic
7 Epic Legendary
8+ Legendary Legendary

Rarity and levels

Gear level rare

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.

Trivia

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 as common gear. Rare gear has new visuals that could not be found as common gear, in addition to all of the visuals that could be found as common gear. Heroic gear has new visuals that could not be found as either common or rare gear, but also has all of the visuals found as rare and common gear. Therefore, unless any new rarity of gear is discovered, all visuals can be found as heroic gear.

For example, the Kudo Hilt is a common visual for an Orochi. However, the Kudo Hilt may also be found as rare or heroic gear. The Tamura Hilt is a rare visual, but may also be found as heroic gear. The Ikaruga Hilt is a heroic visual, and so may only be found as heroic gear. However recent changes have made it so you can take any visual you’ve ever gotten and apply it to any rarity as long as you’ve acquired the visual before, so getting a common visual you can change a legendary gear to look like default should you’ve gotten the default gear before for said hero, however the visuals do remember the rarity you got them in and so, changing a visual to a higher rarity will have a more expensive price to it in salavage and steel.

A current theory for how many individual visuals there are for a specific hero is that they have 17 different weapon visuals and 9 different armor visuals. There are 3 sets of armor visual for each level (common, rare, heroic) and there are 6 weapon sets that start as common, 4 that start as rare, and 7 that start as heroic. This way, with a gear limit of 60 slots, a player would be able to have every visual of weapon, and the three heroic tier armor sets before reaching the limit. (17 x 3 pieces per set = 51 slots, 3 x 3 pieces per set = 9 slots, 51+9= 60 gear slots)

Star Weapons

Gear star

Each hero also has multiple matching sets of star weapon pieces (unofficially called Legendary gear before the announcement of the legendary rarity). 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. It should be noted that their perks aren't any better than non-star visuals'.
