Gear

Dead Cells provides players with Gear in the form of:

• Weapons, which have limited but different movesets.
• Skills, which cause a variety of effects but must cool down between uses.
• And Amulets, passive items which grant powerful offensive or defensive benefits. They can also grant points to Brutality, Tactics or Survival.

Gear items are not automatically collected — they must be picked up with the Interact key/button. Unwanted gear can usually be converted into gold if the Recycle upgrade has been unlocked.

Most Gear appears with one or more Affixes, which add effects or situational benefits. Only non-starter, Level 1 Gear, and unique talismans lack affixes. (Starter Gear always generates with the affix, "Cannot be sold.")

If you're looking for a missing item, but you have everything listed below, you might be missing the Merchandise Category upgrade from the Graveyard.

Gear Upgrades

The player can spend cells at The Blacksmith's Legendary Forge to permanently upgrade all weapons and skills across runs.

When you upgrade the Forge, items that drop or appear in shops have a chance to be of +, ++, or S quality. The max for all qualities is 100%, but to upgrade ++ to 100% requires 1 BSC, and S quality requires 4 BSC. The upgrade benefits are:

• + quality generates the item with 2 more gear levels than usual.
• ++ quality generates the item with 4 more gear levels than usual ,and gives +1 to one scaling Stat.
• S quality generates the item with 6 more gear levels than usual, and gives either +2 to one scaling stat or +1 to two scaling stats (if the item's base form is two-color).

Gear Variants

Two variants of weapons and skills can be encountered: Colorless items and Legendary items.

Colorless Items

Colorless items, found in Cursed Chests, are always of ++ quality. They can be upgraded to S quality at the Forge. Cursed items are Colorless — they scale with your highest Stat. For example, a Colorless Torch, which is a pure Brutality item, scales with Survival if you have higher Survival than Brutality. Colorless items are marked with a white color, rather than the colors of the base item's scaling stats.

Legendary Items

Legendaries are powerful variants of items that you can get as a random drop from mobs with a very low chance (1% and 6% for common mobs and Elites, respectively), as a reward after beating a boss without getting hit, or from a Legendary altar.

Legendary altars have a base 2% chance of spawning per biome, which increases by 15% for each biome that didn't spawn one, thus ensuring you find a Legendary altar in most of your runs. These altars hold a Legendary item and give the enemies nearby 66% damage reduction. The nearby enemies must be killed before you can grab the item, making it a high risk/reward situation.

Legendary items always grant +1 Stat (+1 to all Stats on 3+ BSC) and cannot be upgraded, but have powerful advantages:

• Colorless — scales with your highest stat)

• A specific affix (predetermined for each base item) with a 15% chance to be applied after all other affixes, ignoring the usual affix generation rules
• Cheap re-rolling cost

Legendary items are marked with a gold color, rather than the colors of the base item's scaling stats.

The item pool for Legendary items is not limited to unlocked items, but heavily skewed towards them. It is possible to get any item other than the Symmetrical Lance on a fresh save, but it will be much more likely to get an item from the starting pool. On saves with all items unlocked, the chances of getting any item seem to be equal.

Weapons

The player can only carry 2 weapons at a time. Picking up a third displays a menu that compares all three weapons, and asks the player if they want to discard a carried weapon for the new one.

Melee Weapons

All melee weapons' DPS increase based on the player's Brutality Stat, but some weapons have alternate scaling with Tactics (e.g. Assassin's Dagger and Frantic Sword) or Survival (e.g. The Nutcracker and Broad Sword), which means their DPS will scale off the higher stat between the two.

Ranged Weapons

All ranged weapons scale with Tactics, but some of them can also scale with Brutality or Survival.

Two major classes of ranged weapons exist: bows and crossbows, which usually have limited ammunition, and spells, magic weapons which do not have ammunition. Some weapons with ammo cannot benefit from the effect of the Ammo mutation, they are denoted with † in the following table (namely Frost Blast, Hokuto's Bow, Ice Shard and Boomerang).

Shields

Shields are a kind of weapon that primarily protect the player from damage, rather than killing enemies.

Passive effects

Carrying a shield creates a force field for half a second when the player takes damage. This barrier absorbs most damage, but not damage-over-time from status effects like poison or darkness.

Since active force fields reduce the rally effect’s recovery by 65%, carrying a shield makes it more difficult to recover recently-lost health.

Active effects

Holding down a shield's assigned button holds it up after 0.37 seconds. Attacks that hit the front of the shield are reduced by the shield’s damage absorption percentage (usually 75%) before any other damage reduction effects. Shields’ block damage, listed as their non-critical damage, is also dealt to enemies using melee attacks.

Tapping a shield's assigned button instead attempts a parry. If no attacks connect within the parry window, the player cannot block or parry again for 0.6 seconds. If a non-shockwave attack hits the shield during the parry window, the attack deals no damage, you can block/parry again immediately, and additional effects occur depending on the attack:

• Melee attackers take parry damage, indicated on the shield as its critical damage value.
• Ranged attacks are reflected for 80 base damage.
• Bombs are reflected for 90 base damage.
• Explosions are absorbed without retaliation.
• Purulent Zombie eggs turn into three biting worms, which attack enemies.

Note: Attacks are also automatically parried if they land within the first 0.2 seconds of holding up the shield and the shield's button is still held.

Effect scaling

Shields’ damage usually scales with the player's Survival stat, but some also scale with Tactics or Brutality.

Damage absorbed while blocking can only be increased by the Shield Absorb affix.

Icon	Name	Description	Blueprint Location	Block Damage	Parry Damage	Absorbed Damage	Scaling
	Old Wooden Shield	Hold the shield up to reduce some damage. Parry at the right time to cancel all damage. Secondary weapon only.	Starter shield until Random Starter Shield is purchased. Afterwards, found in a secret tile near the start of the game.	15 damage	30 damage	75%

	Force Shield	Generates a temporary forcefield when held up. It regenerates slowly when the shield is not held up. Parries speed up the process.	Dropped by Purulent Zombie (Sewers) (0.4% chance)	40 damage	40 damage	75%
	Front Line Shield	Inflicts +125% damage if you hit an enemy in hand-to-hand combat in the last 5 seconds.	Secret area in Ancient Sewers	25 damage	50 damage	75%
	Thunder Shield	Inflicts 65 electric DPS when held up or all around you for 8 seconds after a successfull parry. Holding it up again will discharge it completely, stunning nearby enemies.	Dropped by Defender (0.4% chance)	40 damage		50%

Skills

Skills are secondary abilities that can be used in combat. The player never starts with skills and must find them throughout the run.

The player has two skill slots. Upon picking up a third skill, a menu which compares all three appears, allowing the player to choose which of the three skills to discard.

Equipped skills can be swapped with each other in the pause menu with the Interact key.

Skills are roughly split into three types: traps and turrets, grenades, and miscellaneous powers.

Amulets

You may only equip one amulet at a time, but their effects are powerful...
"A fine object, adroitly hidden under your clothes to make less work for the artists."

Amulets come in Ruby, Golden, Ice, Sapphire, or Moonstone. They are most frequently acquired by defeating Elite enemies or by opening Timed or Perfect Doors. Amulets can also be found within Challenge Rift chests, on corpses, or by rummaging through loot in lore rooms. Amulets carry one or more affixes, grant damage reduction, and can give the player more Stats.

As amulets are leveled items, the gear levels of Biomes affect the quantity and quality of the Affixes on the amulets found, as well as the number of Stats and the % of damage reduction they grant.

Prisoner's Collar

"Nothing worth mentioning, except maybe a vague whiff of dead rat..."

The player starts every run with the Prisoner's Collar equipped. It gives no benefits of any kind.
