Acquiring Armor/Gear:

Gear doesn't drop from enemies but instead you obtain schematics by cutting the exact piece. When you perform a killing blow on an armored enemy part, you will cut it obtaining the Schematics for that part and some materials. Once you have the schematics, go to a medbay and select Construct to build the gear you want. In order to acquire a complete set, you will need to kill several enemies cutting all the parts that correspond to that set. You can learn all related info by clicking HERE

Upgrading Gear:

All the gear that players construct will be crafted at Mk. I. Players need to upgrade them to be able to obtain full benefits for each part. You can learn more about Upgrading and Crafting by pressing HERE

Sets:

Most gear come in sets. Each set is usually associated to a determined group of enemies or to a particular location. Each set provide either a partial set bonus (by equipping 3 pieces) or a full set bonus (by equipping all 6 parts). Players can combine two different sets with 3 pieces of each, gaining both partial effects.

It is important to note that players can use pieces from different sets without any penalty but they won’t provide any bonus.
