Episode 27: Get a Glimpse of the Gear

As we progress through the multiverse, with each new episode, one of the most interesting and exciting things is the new gear that is made available! Gear serves two purposes in game. First and foremost, it is a progression path, allowing you to improve the stats of your hero or villain. But second, and to some equally important, it’s a way to craft your character’s style. Everyone knows a good comic book universe character has to have a signature look, right?

With Episode 27, there are some significant changes coming to the core loot progression and to how players acquire gear. Here are the key changes:

• The best gear in the episode will be unlocked with currency at a vendor. #BestGearOnVendor
• Dropped gear will provide continual upgrades while players work towards vendor gear.
• PLUS, we’ll utilize the renown system for elite gear and make omnipotence items obtainable through special collections.

For full details on the changes to the gear system, read our Development Update.

In Amazon Fury Part III, the look of the gear has two distinct looks. The first style, Gorgon Slayer, borrows from the Grecian-style with a more primal feel, including elements of bone and snakeskin in the designs:

The Gorgon Slayer style is found through the content’s dropped gear.

The other style of gear – Fallen God – is available in both rare and elite forms. The colors are editable so you can make the pieces suit your own personal style. In the elite version of the gear, there’s a glowing material on many of the pieces:

The Fallen God style is obtained on the Episode 27 vendor using Ancient Coins, a new currency. The Elite version is obtained the same way, but also requires completing the Elite versions of content for appropriate renown.
