    Best and definite way to decrease you character gear score level?

    Lately I realised that I needed lower gear score items for a build and was wondering how, if possible, to decrease the gear score level in order to get say 229 items from any type of caches in the game. Can anyone give me a hand to find this out?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just change your world tier, world tier 1 drops 163 items, tier 2 drops 182 items, tier 3 drops 204 items, tier 4 drops 224 items, and tier 5 drops 256 items.

    Ok now assume I have all 204 equipped; are the filed proficiency caches or survival caches gonna scale to my gs? Would I need to empty my stash of all 256 items?

    Well a section of the 1.5 patch notes (http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com...al-patch-notes) reads:

    "Added 4 new High-End named weapons (available at various gear scores depending on source):
    Golden Rhino
    Urban MDR Assault Rifle
    Tommy Gun
    Thompson M1928"

    Since we don't have an actual solution that effectively works in order to achieve my goal, I will try what I've been suggested so far...
    I went to WT4 killed the white zone roaming bosses and gained some random 229 weapons and gear. Now I'm sitting at gs 229 with some 256 objects in my backpack. Vendors are still selling me 256 objects and field caches earned with this gs still rewards me with 256 items. I've read on YT that I should also try to move all my 256 items in the stash and remain with the different desired gs equipped. I haven't tried that out as I need to sort out my stash, but as soon as I do it I'll report here whether it works or not... btw does anyone know where I can find an updated table detailing all the weap. talents per gear score?

    Mostly. but you still get junk that's under 256 even in tier 5 too. AND it's sold in the shops... (251).

    Just... why?
