As G0dzBlaze said, the old stats will be replaced with the newer stats. If you're interested, we wrote an article detailing a full breakdown of the new gear that might clear things up a bit.
What happens to the current rank 18 gear? With the new yellow gear it will be useless doesn't it? You can't even use it to change cosmetics of the new gear can't you?
So if you put a lot of steel and salvage into upgrading to 18 you kind of wasted it a bit.
To make a suggestion, can you add that dismantling maxed out gear gives you some of the steel back and a bit more salvage?
They are already giving us 4 free crates at the start of season 2.Originally Posted by oBlackSkullo Go to original post
Did you look at the changes? 108 GS will only be marginally weaker than 144. That's hardly useless. Also, maxing gear during season 1 wasn't a waste. It helped you during season 1.Originally Posted by oBlackSkullo Go to original post
