9 TO DIEPlay

Gear

Updated · Version 0.1.0 · Update notes

What gear slots are there?

There are 9 slots: Laptop, Headset, Lanyard, Mug, Chair, Bag, Shoes, Monitor, Suit. Each slot favours particular stats, listed in the order pieces gain them as rarity climbs. Gear belongs to a department and lasts between runs, so what you find as Sales stays with Sales. Standard Issue pieces belong to no set.

Everyone has one. Nobody chose it.

What are the rarities?

The 6 rarities run from Standard Issue up to Legacy, and the same colours appear in every window. Each step raises the stat budget, reaching 6 times the base at the top. Higher difficulty and final bosses both make rare pieces more likely. These are the Normal odds.

Nobody remembers why you have it. Nobody can take it away.

Odds are per roll on Meets Expectations. A final boss rolls twice.

What do stars cost?

Stars cost 60, 135, 270, 510, 900 PTO in turn, for 1875 PTO on a single piece. Each adds 20 percent of that piece's stats, so five stars doubles them. The price is the same for every rarity, which makes a star on a Legacy piece far better value than one on anything you plan to replace.

Stars cannot be refunded.

What sets are there?

There are 23 sets, and each department uses five of them, one per rarity from Approved upward. Some are shared between departments. Four pieces give a stat bonus and eight give a change to how something plays. Each set has a piece in all nine slots, so you can reach eight with one slot spare.
