    Confusion over DC and NY and the Gear we Collect

    I just started the NY campaign last night so I'm not very far into it. I've noticed a few things I need clarification on though and hoping somebody in the forums can enlighten me.

    We have GS rating in DC and a level (30-40) in NY as far as our gear goes. I'm assuming I can only use NY obtained gear in NY and vice versa in DC, correct?

    Is the gear color format the same in NY as it is in DC? Right now I'm seeing green's and blue's that are spec'd better than the yellow's. What I mean is the yellow's I have at level 30 aren't as good as the green and blue's I have at level 31 and 32. I guess this makes sense. I don't understand why the GS rating was changed to gear level, I mean talk about it more confusing to distinguish between different pieces.

    So I realize I'll progress to level 40 in NY, no problem there. What is this manhunt deal you all are referring to where you lose progress if you change the difficulty. Is this something I only have to worry about once I reach 40 and complete the campaign?

    I found the recalibration and library in NY, finally. I'm assuming the recal areas in DC and NY are completely different. When I look at the individual pieces of gear in NY vs looking through the library I see a major difference in attributes for instance, for the same piece of gear. The individual piece would have a much higher, in some cases max, attribute but when looking through the library the max is sometimes cut in half. What gives?

    So many questions...

    All gear is usable every where you can go to. You are getting green & blues because you are still going through the new missions but soon you will start to encounter the good old yellows once you get closer to lvl 40. You will see purples before you see the yellows.

    There are two lvl tiers for the Library in the recal centre. tier 1 for lvl 1 to 30 then tier two for lvl 31 to lvl 40.

    From level 31 on gear score goes away and it's just item level. At level 40 you will have all level 40 gear with no gear score attached. You can use gear you get in NY in DC and NY and vice versa, and other than specific exotics and possibly named items? (Not sure about named items) you can get all the brand gear sets to drop in NY DC or dark zone. The system corruption set only drops in darkzone but you get the full set as a reward when you rank up in seasons and you also get the blueprints at control points.

    Color format is the same and yes for the most part a level 31 blue will be better or on point with a level 30 well rolled yellow. you will constantly be swapping out gear as you level.

    The manhunt thing is a bug and will be fixed very soon. Basically if you change your world difficulty before completing the manhunt your progress gets lost and you need to start over. And in some cases from what I read some people can't progress. I think we have another 2 weeks or so to complete that so if you are worried you can always just wait for the patch and do it then.

    The recal library is the same but until you hit 40 you will not be at max crafting tier. So no need to worry about extracting until your bench is maxed. The max being cut in half is most likely from you having a max item for your crafting tier, once you hit 40 you should be able to get full god rolls.

    No. You will be able to use gear you pick up in NY in DC once you've finished the Warlords campaign.

    Is the gear color format the same in NY as it is in DC? Right now I'm seeing green's and blue's that are spec'd better than the yellow's. What I mean is the yellow's I have at level 30 aren't as good as the green and blue's I have at level 31 and 32. I guess this makes sense.

    Because Gear score is irrelevant. You judge a piece by the attributes and/or talents that are on it. Purple/blue/green gear will have fewer rolls than gold gear, hence the color format.

    So I realize I'll progress to level 40 in NY, no problem there. What is this manhunt deal you all are referring to where you lose progress if you change the difficulty. Is this something I only have to worry about once I reach 40 and complete the campaign?
    The manhunt is one of the activities in season one. This opens up once you've finished the WoNY campaign. Make sure to claim the pass for access to the premium tier from the in-game store (under add-ons).

    As noted by farcryer01, there are separate libraries for L1 - 30 and L31+. One of the reasons was to avoid L40 attributes getting rolled onto L30 gear.
