In For Honor, we show you how to raise your Gear level. This is how to get legendary gear (Legendary Gear).
If you want to increase your chances of survival on the battlefields in the Dominion mode, you should improve your equipment level – the Gear Level. This is displayed alongside your character level.
You increase your Gear Level by finding higher quality gear. There are two ways to get the tasty loot:
- As a reward after completing matches
- You purchase item packs by selecting “Collect Gear” in the Hero menu and spending your Steel here.
However, you will notice at first with your loot: The quality and Gear Level do not increase. Only the stats are different and provide you with alternatives on how to skill the character. Therefore, some wonder: Is there even a higher equipment level than 3?
From Standard to Legendary (Heroic) – The best Gear
The short answer: Yes! However, you will not find items with a higher level than 3 in your initial hours. Therefore, the tip in advance: Save your Steel and do not spend it all at the very beginning.
Because the quality of the items you receive depends on your Fame – the progression system in For Honor. There are a total of 30 Fame levels, where you increase by one level each time you exceed character level 20. In other words: You have to invest some hours to reach Fame level 1 with your hero. You can always view your progress in the Hero menu.
As you level up in Fame levels, you gain higher quality gear. There are four levels:
- Standard
- Rare (Blue)
- Heroic (Purple)
- Heroic with Star (also Purple, but marked with a star)
“Heroic with Star” is the best and rarest gear that you can currently get in For Honor. In the community, it is sometimes referred to as “Legendary Gear.” This comes with excellent stats and looks stylish at the same time.
How to Level Up Your Gear Level
But how do you get the best items in For Honor? For this, you first have to invest time and sufficiently level up a hero.
- To obtain rare items (blue), you must reach Fame level 1. Before that, you will receive only standard gear up to level 3. At Fame level 1, the blue items drop, which have a maximum Gear Level of 12.
The further you level up your hero, the more frequently rare items of higher levels will drop.
- If you want the really good stuff, the legendary purple items, you should reach Fame level 3. Numerous user reports confirm that on this level the Legendaries drop – including those with a star. However, there are also scattered reports of being able to obtain them at Fame level 2.
Notes:
- An item can have a maximum Gear Level of 18.
- The maximum character Gear Level is 108.
- The Fame progression system is character-bound. If you want strong equipment for a different hero, you must level them from Fame level 0.
- Since the quality of the items depends on Fame, no one can directly purchase the best equipment with real money at the start of the game. You must invest playtime.
The best gear won’t help you if you enter battle without knowledge. Here are 11 tips for the fights.
