Level Breakdown

Level 1–4: Starter Phase

When you first spawn into the game, you begin with:

• Main hand + offhand
• 3 armor pieces

First upgrades appear quickly from defeating enemies around the map. look out and watch your gears durability. 0% durability is is equivalent to have having that piece of gear equipped.

Level 5–7: Early Progression

Steady gear upgrades begin around level 6. In our testing we received the following:

• Belt (level 6)
• Knife (level 6)
• Additional chest upgrade

Level 8–9: Pre-Fleet Transition

Gear becomes more consistent. In our testing (When only doing the purple Class Story) many time we reach the fleet still missing some slots (helmet, gloves). Don't be alarmed. They will come vary soon if this is the case for you.

Level 9–10: Fleet Arrival

First modded weapon appears

• Rifle with alacrity enhancement
• Gear is still incomplete
• Players may expect “full set” but won’t have it
