You’re going to have to gear up if you want to emerge victorious in combat when playing the Surge 2. The Surge 2 has many different gear sets that protect you from all sorts of damage while also providing some boosts to certain attributes. Not only is gear practical but it’s a cosmetic choice that allows you to create a set up to your liking. This guide gives an overview of all the different gear sets and their individual components.
The Surge 2 Gear Sets
You have to construct gear. When you kill an enemy wearing a particular gear piece, you’ll get its schematics by cutting the piece from him.
For example, if an enemy is wearing Head Gear that you want; you can get its schematics by performing a killing blow on the head.
If you have the materials, head to a medbay and select Construct to start to build the gear. Kill enemies wearing all the gear pieces to complete the set.
Upgrading Gear
If a gear set starts to wear out, you will soon have to replace it. This can be lessened if you simply upgrade the pieces. You can use Tech Scrap and Components to upgrade your gear at the Medbay.
This will boost the stats and bonuses gained by the set without increasing core consumption. A complete gear set consists of 6 components:
- Head Gear
- Body Gear
- 2 Arm Gear Pieces
