Patch 1.2 has introduced 200+ Gear Score bracket in Dark Zone. To my surprise I'm in that bracket, even though my displayed Gear Score is 191.
What exactly determines which bracket are you assigned to?
1 Answer
If you have any items that exceed 201 gear level you will find yourself in the 201+ bracket, whether the gear is equipped, in your inventory, or in your stash. This is true even if your average gear score is below 201.
For example, when I tested this earlier today my gear score was 196. At that time I had a 214 holster and a 204 sub-machine gun. I entered the Dark Zone numerous times from checkpoints in Dark Zone 1, Dark Zone 3, Dark Zone 5, and Dark Zone 6. Each time I was in the DZ 201+ bracket. Placing my gun and holster in the stash did not change which bracket I was assigned to.
