A Guide to Gear Level in Ghost Recon Breakpoint HOW TO GET OVER 250 

Once you reach a high level of 250-252 the only way to go any higher is to do Raids which require 4 players (not AI teammates). But.... There is no real benefit higher than 250 once you've obtained gold gear with good perks. A 300 level player would have the same gold gear as a 250 player. Just because that 300 player is 50 levels higher than you doesn't mean his stats are 50 times better. They may have better guns from raids. It's all about getting the best gold gear with optimum perks. From there you can create custom presets by farming gold gear that best suits your play style (i.e stealth preset). And don't forget to "Favorite" your best guns so they don't accidentally get sold or dismantled.

I’m at 250 right now and have one weapon that’s a 252. I also saw the staying at a certain level for a while before being able to level up. What I did was equip each item at the same level and then relatively shortly I would get something higher. Didn’t take as long as I thought it would.

It's because the enemies come with a much higher gear score than your own. For 250 the enemies of elite mission come with 255. 252 Gear you only get by dropped stuff - not from loot boxes. Soft cap currently is 245 - hard cap is 252. Instead of waiting for the auto-update (which can take hours) if you switch for one game into PvP you can immediately trigger the next gear level.

You got my hopes up really hard I thought it was going to work trying to level up

This is what happens when you eat Edibles before making a RU-vid video

You get above 252 by doing the raid. I was level 180ish when I did the raid first time and I got 3 pieces of 260 gear and shot up through the levels. Hope to see more on this game from you, it's been awhile.

if you are under 250 you can also farm the LVL 250 Wolf camps, Camp Kodiak and Red Shark i think the other one is that will give you +1 or +2 gear all the way up to 250

To farm high level gear you need yo do elite mission like Dally said but don't restart the mission. After you clean the base fast travel to the nearest camp in another region, then rest to the second time available from right to left, get your chopper and go, rinse and repeat. If you fail the mission for leaving the area, go and rest in the camp before hitting the restart in the mission, you can avoid that by not getting close to the objectives most as you can. Preferably choose a location with a lot of enemies, only drop from enemies are high level, chests are the same as always.

The rub of the elite faction motions is you only get two per day. You can also farm the 250+ Wolf base's , on the west coast of the main island and off egg island I believe. The gear that the wolves drop should drop at 251 or 252. The crates how ever will still be 250 .

Enemies still pretty much do the same amount of damage even if your max gear score . The only difficulty change is the level in Wich you play on .

He's Brazilian! Yaass!!! PS: "Jogador atemporal" means "Atemporal player" like "player out of time"

Dally, what in the world is that screaming in the background starting at 09:52? Haunting stuff man.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think during an elite faction missions, only the enemies with a skull icon on them will drop gear above 250 (usually they can be found on the 2nd base or objective). On that last objective once you get your loot leave 1 enemy alive and let him kill you then you can repeat the farm again. BUT! from what I've heard they already applied a hot fix to this on the last live update. Now you can only encounter those elite enemies once in a faction mission each day. meaning if you die the enemies will reset back to level 150.

Currently 236, with some 237 gear. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Ive been wondering how to make levels a little faster.

U will the higher lv gear in the 2nd part of the Elit fraction Mission

All you have to do is discover every question mark on the map

Hi @Dardally, my wife and I cannot get enough of this game and are slowly making our way past 160 or so no rush. My question is, can you see them raising the gear cap or adding a further progression system as the thought of hitting a soft cap is really disheartening. Great video!

You can level your gear level very fast in pvp, hopefully you have a team because most ppl are scared to fight.

Been dying to get back in I haven't been able to grind much due to work and home life. But this weekend is my weekend damn it, I'm going to get it in lol.

Only enemies that are 255 will drop 252 gear on faction missions, the boxes will only give 250 gear.

When i hit 230 i got 233 gear mostly but once i got 233 it completely stopped, all i get now is 233, i think ima go farm behemoths now 😝 good tip on the elite missions btw, ima make sure to grind them at 250 to get 252, just a few more days 😁😁

Well, time to get my gear optimized

I'm 251, but I have all 252 gear. Problem is, the blueprints don't go over 250. So my primary and secondary weapons are 250 across all classes because I got the rolls I want for them. Considering how many skell credits I burned to roll them, I'm not going for my 252 weapons unless I get a drop with the weapons and specific perks I want for them. Also, funny thing is, all the gold gear I got with the stats I like didn't come from elite missions. Everything from headgear down to the boots all came from enemy drops while exploring, killing random patrols, and clearing random camps. Most of which didn't come from Wolf camps, interestingly enough.

What level does gear s ore start? When should you start crafting blueprints?

Hint, if you have never played the game and are looking in. In my number 3 save slot my Panther Class character is level 228 and accomplished this all in about 4 hours. Hint, do not play the main game, once you get to the main Hub......do nothing else and just go FREE ROAM. Not certain why but gear drops are twice what they are in the game missions. Go hunt up all the weapons, all the goodies to go on them such as the Mawl.....or go find the Aug or the Bren........I like the Scorpion EVO 3......it simply melts enemies and once you hit gear level 120 or so you no longer hide from that seeker drone and the wolves as you want them to show up and drop good gear. Grin. Once you do start the story mission drops from enemies still level you up.....stuff in boxes is generally below your level. However exploring small question mark places the boxes hold some high level gear....certainly worth the exploring. So go exploring......go see the island and have fun.....you will level up much faster than playing the story missions. Plus in the story nothing can hurt you.....you are already a very high level so they are not much of a threat. .......oh when you go kill walker, just leave it all lay there.......all of it will be level 150....no need to even waste time in inventory management with any of that stuff. I want one character at 250..........so all that infernal inventory management of switching out gear and weapons will come to a halt......the one thing I really hate about this game is the inventory management ....just give me a gun already and call it good. AAAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!! Cheers Kit

I got the game after the update where gear leveling could be turned off. I completed the game without gear leveling. Then I learned I needed metal parts to craft mines and the only way to get that was to dismantle weapons... but you can only dismantle weapons with gear leveling turned on. It turned out, finding metal parts was pretty difficult. I have over 200 parts, even 1000 parts, for most other items, but metal parts and advanced weapons parts are below 5. I'm thinking of turning off gear leveling again. I don't see the advantage to it. I did enjoy the story of Breakpoint moreso than Wildlands.

I've literally done every mission, picked up all blueprints, attachments, and done daily and elite missions. Finally reached 250 and had 1 random piece of 252. Boots and so far that's the only 252 I've seen.

Wow you sound really good You would not know unless you were here from ghost recon

Have you tried the 516 Scout, DD? It is an obscene DMR. Little sister to G28, but in 5.56. Because of that it has a lot lower recoil, so basically you get 3 shots in the same spot as you'd get 1 with G28.

Man I hit level 150 and it is a Grind from then on out. I would like to get to the point where I can start to actually look for gear on going to keep and use. I like the way division 2 does it and they just continue to throw tons of gear at you. Then when you're at endgame you can tweak the gear to make it exactly how you want it pretty much. This game you are stuck grinding and you are stuck with what they give you. Luckily there are only a couple of perks on each piece of gear so getting a roll you like probably isn't too tough but getting to that level is unfortunately

It reset the mission which means it took back what crates you already looted so you wouldn't be able to loot crate's more than once if you reset it... cuz it literally takes you back to a point before you started at Mission.

Just to say it, there is rdy more you can do to go to 300. (tips : daylie elite scales if you are 252 they are 255, raid start @ 260+ and they you can solo it all with loot drop)

LOL You can get the ACOG on everything but American ASRs, even shotguns and LMGs Thanks for the info , DD!

The elite faction missions have been Giving me stuff one level lower every time because I got one Piece of gear that was like two levels higher and none of my other stuff wants to catch up to it

As for me, I play Wildlands, and Breakpoint as milsims. I have no interest in grinding for gear. The Division cured me of that. Grind to get exotic weapons so you can grind to get more weapons. What is the point?

I found a drone that was level 255 and one that was 260. They both killed me instantly and since they killed me they haven't shown back up in game and this was over a week ago.

How do you have the battle rewards? I've done all faction leader missions and my faction missions and nothing and I dont have it.

On the mission inquisitor rex just leave the commander alive loot let him kill you you'll respawn outside the same camp you can do it about 4 times then you'll only get 250 gear after

Finally reached 252 last night, but it’s just a number. I don’t deal more damage or gain more armor. Headshots kill at any level. Gear and weapon perks aren’t better, and enemy AIs are still idiots. Gear score doesn’t really change ANYTHING. The worst is blueprints. All my weapons still drop at 250. Don’t expect gear score to improve anything.

As long as elite are at 255 thay should drop 251/252. (don't complete the mission) After killing yourself or restarting if there still 250 log out/ log in. It should sort it out but your have to start it from the begining rather than the check point. Been doing it all day sometimes it works sometimes it don't, be lucky

What does a gear score mean anyway? It makes no sense. I get a metal bump cap with a gear score of 10 then later in the game I find a baseball cap worth 40???? Or I get two of the same gun one at 27 gear score and another at 113 what is the difference?

I ended getting stuck doing an elite mission where u kill flycatcher but he was already there and I hadn’t killed him yet so it locked that room down and I couldn’t get the passcode to open it. It was so annoying but I finally was able to kill him and do that mission I just had to wait a couple days for it to reset lol

What about being level 250 then playing PVP?? I've noticed PVP drop higher gear levels based on performance.

I'm 249 and Ive been farming camp kodiac I go up 2 levels and then i switch games and play something else it feels like theres some timer lock out

I’m at 248 right now going from wolf camp to wolf camp killing everybody trying to get all head shots for more drops

Paused @ 2:11 just wanted to say that @ level 247 I think atm and I'm getting gear 2 levels above just by attacking high level Wolf camps and behemoths.

Honestly until they remove Maria's 250 cap and update it to 252 its only worth it if you wanted to feel like you accomplished something that you yourself are proud of Until then only go to 252 if that's what you feel like you want to accomplish

Is the game being patched like division one and two will it come good one day or is it a fuckfest for ever ? I would like to play it but there's a lot of bug videos out there ??

How do you run inside erowhan? Thanks nice vid

I absolutely loved Wildlands. Favorite game of all time. This one not so much. This gear management is totally ruining it for me. I don’t even know why I’m sticking it out. My understanding is that if I don’t keep opening crates to raise my weapon level, I will at some point run into enemies that I can’t defeat. Correct? I just want to get to the highest level so that I never have to open a crate again. After clearing a base I don’t want to have to spend 10 or 15 minutes just opening up boxes and collecting info. I feel like I spend as much time in the menus as I do in gameplay. Really hard to get immersed in this game.

Question. I unlocked the scorpio scout sniper rifle at a very low gear level. The gun is 72 if I rank up my other equipment is there a way or blueprint to build this weapon so I can continue to level it up with my gear score? Or am I screwed and this will keep my gear score low if I ever want to use it

After you complete the elite missions and replay them on the replays the levels will stay the same 255

I'm level 16 glvl 45 and Im attacking a wolf Camp that's gear level 250 + and I'm getting 12 levels higher gear

nice vid

you can get into 252. but its great if you managed to get all the gears with talents you like. Just grind though.🤪

Hello like a commentary but I tried but you just did and it doesn’t work I am still stuck at 2:49 I don’t know what to do anymore I’ve been hitting all the wolf basis and everything and I’m still at 2:49 don’t know what to do anymore

I was doing elite mission i fail in purpose so i farm the enemies so i can get higher gear level

I’m at 252 when I wipe at end of mission to re do mission all drops are 250 when I foster do mission enemies are 255 but when I restart they are 250

From the name, im pretty sure ur friend is Brazilian xD

So on pc how u turn gearscore on and off? There is some reddit guide, but that option isnt available. Im posting this here, since youtube cant find any other help for my problem. This is actually my friend problem, i see it, friend doesnt and i try to get it working for him.

How do you get weapons in the shop higher than 250?

If you fail the mission after looting you can just farm gear levels forever

I completed Maria's tutorials.

How are you a level 251 but your scout is 249 when equip a blueprint it lowers my gear score

I was playing with someone the other day with a 254 rating

The dumbest shit about all of this is that you can have all lvl 252 gear, but if you equip 2 lvl 250 weapons you drop down to lvl 251. You can't craft weapons higher than 250, so all those blueprints are effectively worthless.

Preordered this game, beat it in a week, thought it was crap compared to wildlands, now when I try to play wildlands my ps4 won’t read the disc. Seems odd that wildlands quit working as soon as I downloaded this game.

I been stuck on 250 for a week!!

What's with all the padding on your weapon? Do you sleep with it and use it as a pillow? >;)

I've got gear that is 264 with stars on PS4/PS5. I honestly forget when I got those pieces because it happened in 2019. I just recently jumped back in to play to finish a lot of what I never completed after the main campaign. I also just recently restarted the game on PC as well......But anyway.....I can't seem to figure out how to get higher than 250. Sometimes 252 pops up 🤷‍♂

Worth it if you're bored

How’d you get the 1911 Promise?

I can't really tell that gear level is all that important. I can kill anything at any level no matter what my gear level is. It adds an element of fun but I don't see or feel it working like it does in the Division series. i killed the 150+ wolves at the very beginning at a gear level of around 6 or 7. It doesn't seem like my weapons do reduced damage vs higher level enemies. I don't think that gear level counts for anything at all.

Like you said why would you want to but it is possible to grind for gear. But it doesn’t matter. A 252 piece has the exact same stats as a 250 piece. But if you want the look of a 252 build for bragging rights all you need to do is replay the elite mission. The 252 pieces are the random drops from the second part of the mission. I did try grinding but is pointless, same stats and you only seem to get one blue and 2 purple’s or randomly a purple and a yellow. But to each his or her own

Saw a guy earlier that was 278 and others that were past the 250's. I don't play pvp or co-op, could that be how people are getting past 252???? I'm still stuck at 251.

How do ibturn on my gear level

Hey darkdally what's up how do you unlock the scorpion scout quiet

It's sad that we're talking about gear score in a ghost recon game.

Saw a 300 guy while on a raid

You should of just played the mission at normal speed instead of fast forwarding this is one of the few games I enjoy watching ppl play as much as playing.

Pls test if you get different loot with different difficultyy

Loot creates refresh every 24hrs, kill loot can be farmed by killing all enemies but 1, let said enemy kill you... When you respawn all enemies will as well🍻

My friend and I from England really enjoy playing ghost, recon, breakpoint, and ghost recon wildlands. We are both at 252 level with our weapons and gear. We have seen some people that are up to 300 level on weapons and gear but we don’t know how they did that I enjoy your video and I was hoping that you might have some more information about getting to 300 since you have made the first video about raising gear levels. Even though we are at 2:52 with our weapons and gear, our level at the shop, when we go to purchase weapons or build them from blueprints, we are still at 250 when we buy something. Somehow, someway, people are getting all the way to 300. Do you have any idea how they did it?

Can I get my blueprints to level 250??

Are you supporting this game Dally ?? Just got it coming in the post are we up and running or dipping a toe now and then ??

Confused about gear levels is a purple gun at level 95 as good as the same gun that is blue at level 100

The form dose work but when doing it all gear and weapons need to be the same level iv got my gear up to 286 so far my aim is to find out if the gear is so high will it wreak a drone quicker.

Get to it i heard the word quickly

do you stop getting skill points at a certain level? i feel like i haven’t gotten a skill point in a long time

I’m 252 can only get random drops of 252 in elite missions

Hi DD,Dump question .. why I only got 12 faction missions per day but you got 16 missions!??

I'm level 252 what is max level at the moment?

I turned my gear level off. How the hell do I turn it back on?

Is there really any point to upping gear score considering Ubisoft now intend to eliminate tiered loot now???

Why do the enemies tell what their about to do like "I'm reloading!'' 😂

I checked on your friend channel. He only has 15 videos on his channel and nothing is about GR Breakpoint. Sorry to say this but it is true.

Are the weapon stats finally correct? Because last time in Wildlands, the first assault rifle you get turned out to be one of the very best and quickest killing. How about in this game?

Will they be adding AI teammates to break point at some point

Once gear level hits 210...its gonna go up 1 by 1...
