    Havent equipped a 2nd weapon yet, does that matter for gear level?

    I havent equipped a second weapon yet because i dont like the way it looks to have a second weapon slung over my shoulder... Does that matter for gear level?

    Im at level 40, Only using one primary and a pistol. If i add a second weapon to my loadout, will i get an immediate "bump up" in my gear score?

    To answer OP - yes at the moment your second primary weapon adds to your gearscore and so it WILL bump up your gear score when you equip it.

    Isn't it an average of the equipment on your character? Or does the empty slot register as a 0 as opposed to a blank (if that makes sense.)

    It does exactly that. Sadly.

    Not that GS is relevant to much...…. If you do want both worlds I'd suggest having one character focused on GS and another for how you WANT to play and don't equip. Pretty much what I am doing.

    You have eight gear slots...three weapon and five clothing...your gear score is the sum of all eight divided by eight. If one is empty that slot score is zero. So yes it maters.
