Ranked Weapons and Armor Basics

“Ranked gear” means advanced weapons and armor with Yellow / Orange / Red bonus classes - usually from ranked war caches, or bought / scrapped through Big Al’s Bunker. A plain copy of the same item name can look identical until you open the i tooltip.

Weapons without bonuses are commonly called grey, white, vanilla, or non-legendary. Same item name + icon can be plain or advanced - the tooltip is the proof. Do not invent drop rates; treat Orange/Red as rare.

Ranked wars pay caches containing special weapons and armor. Caches also sell at Big Al’s Bunker for Bunker Bucks. A cache hits the faction armory when awarded; opening from armory puts loot in armory, opening from inventory puts loot in that player’s inventory.

Every weapon-cache pull has at least one weapon bonus. Exact combat interactions (DOT stacking, finishing-hit rules, Warlord on bonus hits, etc.) belong on the wiki / Attacking - not this buyer page.

• Weapons: unique bonuses (tied to specific guns) vs general bonuses (shared pool). Orange/Red scrap has separate columns for one vs two effects - advanced weapons can carry more than one bonus.
• Armor: cache sets (Riot, Assault, Dune, Delta, Marauder, EOD, Sentinel, Vanguard, …) each have a named bonus. A full five-piece set adds a set bonus on top of per-piece rolls (Armor).
• Armor piece % rolls matter. A few points on the piece bonus, plus armor rating and which piece (body vs gloves/boots), can swing price hard. Compare against known min/max on Bonus Stats / wiki ranges.
• Coverage-gated sets (Riot, Assault, Dune, EOD) only apply when the hit lands on a covered area. Always-on sets (Delta, Marauder, Sentinel, Vanguard) apply even if that piece’s area was not hit.

Big Al’s Bunker unlocks via Big Al’s Gun Shop after paying 2,500 Points. Buy caches with Bunker Bucks (BB) only. Earn BB by trading in unwanted advanced weapons/armor.

• Bonus name - some effects are fought over; others are niche.
• Roll % - for variable bonuses, a few points can be a large $ gap.
• Color / rarity - Orange and Red are scarcer; scrap BB jumps with color too.
• One vs two bonuses (weapons) - second effect matters for combat and bunker scrap.
• Armor set + piece + rating - body pieces and high armor rolls often price differently than gloves/boots.
• Use Ranked Weapons, RW Value, and Bonus Stats as comps - not gospel.

1. Open the i tooltip on every weapon/armor in the trade - do not trust icons or chat screenshots.

3. Read the trade log for remove/re-add swaps after the first accept.
4. Use the two-step confirm. Cancel if anything differs.

1. Identify color / class and open the i tooltip.
