You have 4 slots for equipment: 1 Weapon, 1 Armour and 2 Gear (normally you would use 2 different types although it is possible to use the same type in both)
Each item has a rarity level (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical and Exalted) where 3 items of the same rarity can be fused together to make 1 item of the next rarity level, improving its stats (details for Weapons, Armour, Gear) and maximum level for upgrading using upgrade material.
When fusing items, the new item will retain the highest level of the items used to fuse it (so fusing a legendary Level 50 weapon with 2 Legendary Level 1 weapons will yield a Mythical Level 50 weapon; you would get the same result even if you fused a legendary Level 50 weapon with 2 Legendary Level 49 weapons)
Obtained from:
In Runs

- Top rewards in the Tournament (Master League only) - Epic
- Battlepass track rewards - Rare and Epic (previously Uncommon as well)
- Purchase for real money - occasional flash offers for specific items, deals that include Epic and Rare items
Acquiring Premium Weapons
None of the above methods can be used to acquire Premium weapons (Looper, Gemini Laser, Devastator). These, along with the NecroShield Suit and Plasma Cannon, were launched as Battlepass Exclusive Rewards although the Necro and Plasma were subsequently added to the Free pool. If you missed them, the only options to acquire them are:
- Banner Summon Gates - have previously offered Plasma and Looper (initially was Common, but recent gates have featured Epic)
- Special events - the Bunny Track event offered the Looper as the top prize
Scrapping Items
You can scrap unwanted items to yield upgrade materials as follows:
Rarity | Number of upgrade materials |
---|---|
Common | 10 |
Uncommon | 20 |
Rare | 30 |
Epic | 40 |
Legendary | 50 |
Mythical | 60 |
As fusing items reduces the materials (scrapping 9 common items would yield 90 material, but fused to 1 Rare they’d yield only 30) it is better not to fuse up items unless you are sure you want to keep them
