How Dark and Darker Gear Score Works
In Dark and Darker, your Gear Score (also known as Equipment Power) is a hidden metric used by the matchmaking system to place you in appropriate lobby brackets. This ensures that new players or those on "eco runs" aren't constantly overwhelmed by players wearing full Legendary kits.
Approximate Gear Score by Rarity:
- Junk/Poor: 0-4 Points
- Common (White): 6-10 Points
- Uncommon (Green): 12-18 Points
- Rare (Blue): 25-32 Points
- Epic (Purple): 45-52 Points
- Legendary (Orange): 70-80 Points
- Unique (Named): 100+ Points
Current Matchmaking Brackets
While the developers (IRONMACE) frequently tune these numbers, the general consensus for lobby matchmaking brackets is as follows:
- The Under 25 Bracket: Designed for "normals" and zero-to-hero runs. If your total score is 24 or lower, you will be matched with other low-geared players.
- The Mid Bracket (25 – 124): This is where most casual players end up when using a mix of Green and Blue gear.
- The High Bracket (125+): This is the "High Roller" equivalent for normal lobbies. Expect to face players with optimized Epic and Legendary gear.
Calculation Tips
Remember that the game calculates the score for everything currently equipped in your active slots, including your secondary weapon swap and any utility items like potions, bandages, or campfires in your quick slots. To stay in a lower bracket, you may need to leave certain slots empty or use lower-rarity versions of utility items.
