Since the “Incursions” update, there is the Gear Score in The Division, which indicates the equipment value. We summarize how you can efficiently increase your Gear Score.
When you reach Max Level 30 in The Division, the equipment value comes into play: this indicates your agent’s strength and experience. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in the endgame.
All weapons and armor pieces have an individual Gear Score. Generally, the higher the equipment values of your items, the higher the average Gear Score of your agent. In theory, this sounds quite simple. But how can you specifically increase this value?
You need a certain Gear Score to gain access to specific activities, such as the Incursion and the “Dark Zone Bracket” starting at a value of 160. Furthermore, it is already visible on the map that the next Incursion in The Division named “Broken Circle” requires a Gear Score of 220. Thus, there are ample reasons to improve your agent’s equipment value.
How to Obtain Items with up to 240 Gear Score in The Division
In a new video, the YouTuber Arekkz Gaming shows how you can increase the Gear Score in The Division. There are several ways to raise this value. But only one leads to items with 240.
With the following activities, you can increase your Gear Score:
- Incursion “Falcon Lost” on Hard – Weekly Reward: Item with 214 value (guaranteed); Boss Drop: Item with 191 value (guaranteed). To access the Boss Loot, you can repeat the Incursion multiple times per week. The weekly reward is only available once per week.
- Incursion “Falcon Lost” on Challenging – Weekly Reward: Armor with 240 value (guaranteed); Boss Drop: Armor with value 214 (guaranteed). This is currently the only way to obtain armor pieces with a Gear Score of 240.
- Dark Zone Specialties Vendor and Special Equipment Vendor: These vendors sell blueprints of gear set pieces with a value of 214. The items can be crafted after acquisition. For what the special vendors in The Division have on offer this week, you can read here.
- Dark Zone: You can also obtain armor pieces with a Gear Score of up to 214 from notable elite enemies. There are further reports that items up to 214 value can also be obtained from supply drops in the Dark Zone.
- Daily Missions on Challenging: Here, you also have a chance at items up to 214 Gear Score.
Note: While armor pieces can reach an equipment value of 240, weapons cap out at 204.
To prepare for the upcoming Incursion, you should have four armor pieces with a Gear Score of 240, two armor pieces with a value of 214, and three weapons with 204. This will give you an average score of 222 and allow you to tackle the “Broken Circle,” which is expected to appear with the next update.
