It isn’t enough to just get gear in Battleborn. If you’re eager to truly optimize your build and unlock skill-specific bonuses tied to each characters, then you’re going to need rare legendary gear. Instead of throwing cash at legendary loot packs, try focusing on lore challenges. Every hero sports a set of five, and completing them all unlocks a guaranteed piece of legendary gear. Learn all about the challenges and exactly how good each piece of gear is with our full loot guide below.
Loot comes in many forms in Battleborn. At Command Rank 3, the Gear Bank becomes available in the Command tab, allowing you to store or sell any items you might want to hang onto for later. Most gear isn’t tailored to any one character, and can be earned through a variety of methods. Mostly, those methods involve playing the game and earning victories online with your friends. But, if you’re looking for a less random strategy for grabbing that first piece of legendary gear, see what’s required of your favorite character with our complete legendaries guide.
