Why is my gear score 470 ......... | Forums

[JCfromAP]

when the lowest piece of gear equipped is 485 and the highest is 501? I was I think 488 gear score and without changing anything I noticed my gear score dropped to a 470 for no reason. If your gear score is an average of your equipped gear then how is it SO low?

Unless it's a display bug I'd guess you're using a bad sidearm, perhaps the Specialization specific one that is garbage

Welcome to the Division 2 where math is the hardest part of the Dev's day. 1+1= 500

I am using the Specialized D50, its a gear score 300. I just switched it for a GS 488 M9 and BAM Gear Score jumps to 491! Hahaha That's ridicules. Thanks for pointing that out.

No worries, it's a common mistake going back to TD1 to forget about the sidearm.
