Not sure which weapons and equipment to wear in Survivor.io? Don’t worry – we searched through all the gear currently available in the game and ranked all of it into a tier list.
In the game, there are 6 types of gear a player can go for: Weapons, Chestpieces, Necklaces, Belts, Gloves and Boots. Each one will provide certain stats, but more often than not, players will go for whatever is available to them from the very start.
How to get more equipment in Survivor.io?
All equipment can be obtained from the chests (which are available for free or in exchange for Gems and watching ads), and all of it can be merged into higher quality ones.
The lowest quality equipment will be grey, while the highest one will be red. It evolves this way:
Grey -> Green -> Blue -> Purple -> Yellow -> Red
Gray, Green and Blue rank equipment have no sub-tiers, but the rest can be upgraded to + tiers, as follows:
- Purple
- Purple +1
- Purple +2
- Yellow
- Yellow +1
- Yellow +2
- Yellow +3
- Red
- Red +1
In order to achieve the + quality, the gear can be merged with the same quality gear (and the same type), but in order to get from one colour to the next quality colour, you will need duplicated items. For instance, if you want to evolve your Yellow Kunai into a Red Kunai, you will need 3x Yellow Kunai, one of which is Yellow Kunai +3 (so Yellow Kunai + Yellow Kunai + Yellow Kunai+3 to result in a Red Kunai).
Weapons go hand in hand with Evolutions
Keep in mind that weapons are closely tied to evolutions. You can read more about the evolutions in our Survivor.io skills and evolutions guide, where we also share which evos go with each weapon type. If you played the game for a while, you might have noticed that the Kunai and Ninja Scroll can result in a pretty good weapon – so, make sure you always choose the evolutions that will affect the weapon as well.
How to pick the best equipment in Survivor.io
Honestly speaking, there is no such thing as the “best equipment” in Survivor.io when you’re just starting out. You will most often equip the gear that is the highest quality, and keep that until you can get something better. However, once you reach a point where you have to decide between two or more red-quality gear or yellow-quality gear, you can use the Survivor.io equipment tier list we wrote below.
