Battleborn gear load out!

I am not going to say anything but the truth here!

When I first saw the gear load out choices I was a bit meh!! (Mainly ignorance on my behalf) What difference can only three pieces make? After playing on The Division and having 6 pieces and the weapons that also add to your load out.

But now I have started to get epic & legendary gear and I am understanding how they stack and work, I think gearbox have got a good system here.

My Thorn gear load out is amazing,

Epic boots

  • 11% movement speed
  • 8.66% sprint speed

Epic bottle

  • 8% health regen speed
  • 5% health regen speed (5 seconds after taking damage)
  • 6% movement speed

Epic needle
+9.66% health regen speed

  • 10% CC duration
  • 5.5% health regen speed (while under CC effect)

Honestly my Thorn is like on crack, speed and steroids once all gear sets are active. The only problem is 1800 shards each it takes a while.

That’s why it’s generally a better idea to get a 0 cost shard producing item (or just any low cost one, but if you’re Thorn and you can find one that the drawback is shields then who cares anyway) and throw it on with just two legendary items… you’ll get them both online much faster (instead of taking all game) and you’ll have money around to still upgrade turrets to get XP farm.

If you’re saving all your credits for 5400 shards worth of gear, you’re going to be pretty far behind on levels unless you’re being fed, and it’s going to take you all game to get those bonuses, in fact, most people I see that do this, rarely even get to their second item, let alone their third.

Incursion is the only game mode that I get it to work.
