Gears

Gears can be equipped by trooper during Encounters or Missions.

There are a total of 3 different type of gear slots: Grunt, Tactician and Power. Gears can only fit into their respective Gear Slots.

Different troopers have different slots available. Tactician and power gears will provide strong bonuses in encounters. Grunt gears will provide bonuses in missions.

Gears can be either virtual or NFTs.

Virtual gears has four different types of rarity: common, rare, epic and legendary. Each rarity of gear has a different empire level requirement in order to be equipped.
Common: Required empire level 1
Rare: Required empire level 1
Epic: Required empire level 5
Legendary: Required empire level 10

Virtual gears are only tradable in the black market(in game).They can be bought or sold by using credits.

Virtual gears can be upgraded by combining 10 of each same type and same rarity of gears with some ocuriums.

Example:
10 common armor plates + 100k ocuriums = 1 rare armor plate
10 rare armor plates + 2 million ocuriums = 1 epic armor plate
10 epic armor plates + 10 million ocuriums = 1 legendary armor plate

Cost of ocurium
common to rare: 100k
rare to epic: 2 million
epic to legendary: 10 million

Many people are confusing about how many common gears are required to become 1 legendary virtual gear.

Calculation
1 legedary armor plate = 10 epic armor plates
10 epic armor plates = 10 rare armor plates x 10 times = 100 rare armor plates
100 rare armor plates = 10 common armor plates x 100 times = 1000 common armor plates

In conclusion, 1000 common gears are required to become 1 legendary virtual gear.

Important, all virtual gears (including legendary virtual gears) will be wiped after each season ends!

One way Outlaw Troopers will give virtual gears increased value is by allowing virtual gears to be minted into NFTs. If you collect enough virtual gears of the same kind during a single season (before the end of season wipe) and upgrade them into a legendary gear, you can turn in this legendary virtual gear to create one newly minted NFT gear. 1000 FGL will be charged as a minting fee.

At the end, you will receive a NFT voucher(within 24 hours processing time) which is tradable in the secondary market(eg. AtomicHub/NeftyBlocks). The voucher is blendable in NeftyBlocks. It will generate a permanet NFT gear with an 85% chance of being epic gear or 15% chance of being a legendary gear.

Why would you want to trade in a legendary gear for an epic you ask? Remember, the virtual gears will all be wiped at the end of the season. If you mint an NFT, it will be yours to own forever (or sell/trade!).

1000 FGL + 1 legendary virtual gear = 1 gear NFT (85% epic, 15% legendary)
