Gear

Note: Most of this page's contents is imported from other pages in the wiki - click on the header links and make changes to those pages, and those changes will automatically transfer over to here, too.

Dead Cells provides players with multiple options of style defining Gear in the form of various Weapons, which have limited but different movesets, Skills, which cause a variety of effects but must cool down between uses, and Talismans, passive items which can grant powerful offensive or defensive benefits.

Gear items, like Pickups, are not automatically collected - they must be picked up using the Interact key. Alternately, in most cases, these items can be recycled into gold instead if the appropriate upgrades have been unlocked.

Most pieces of gear appear with one or more Affixes which add effects or grant situational benefits. Only non-starter level-one gear items and unique talismans lack affixes of any kind (starter gear items always generate with the affix "Can not be sold.").

If you're looking for one missing item, but you have all stuff that are listed below, you might be missing Merchandise Category general improvement (blueprint found in the Graveyard), or the Giant Killer, which is currently unobtainable.

Gear Upgrades

As of the Baguette Update, the player can spend cells at the Forge (which only appears after bosses) to permanently upgrade ALL weapons and skills. Investments at the Forge persist through death, allowing cells for upgrades to be collected across multiple runs.

When you upgrade the forge, items that are dropped, or appear in shops have a chance to be of a +, ++, or S quality. The max for + is 100%, meaning everything that appears will be of + quality. The max for ++ items is 60%. With S being the lowest at only 30% maximum chance. The upgrade benefits are as follows:

• The first upgrade, adding "+" to the end of the name, causes the item to generate with 2 more gear levels than usual.
• The second upgrade, adding a second "+" to the end of the name, causes the item to generate with 4 more gear levels than usual (2 of these levels come from the first upgrade) and give +1 to one scaling Stat for the base form of the item.
• The final upgrade, replacing the "+" symbols at end of the name with an "-S", causes the item to generate with 6 more gear levels than usual (4 of these levels come from the first and second upgrades) and give either +2 to one scaling stat or +1 to both scaling stats (only if the base form of the item has two scaling stats i.e. it is a two-color item).

Gear Variants

Up to two variants of standard gear (weapons and skills) can be encountered during gameplay: colorless items and legendary items.

Colorless Items

Colorless items, obtained from Cursed Chests, are in most ways the same as standard items, inheriting the benefits of "+", "++" and "S" upgrades and being affected by gear levels. However, they possess two Affixes which cannot appear on standard items:

• Colorless (scales with your highest stat)
• You take 20% more damage

These items are visually distinguished from standard items by a white icon (rather than an icon colored based on the base item's scaling stats).

Legendary Items

Legendary items, introduced in the Baguette Update, are powerful item variants which always drop from bosses but can also be obtained rarely from slaying enemies or opening treasure chests. Though they do not inherit the benefits of "+", "++" or "S" upgrades (i.e. they never grant bonuses to scaling stats), they are affected by gear levels, and they possess up to two bonus Affixes compared to standard items:

• Colorless (scales with your highest stat)
• A specific affix (fixed for each base item) which has a 15% chance to be applied after all other affixes have been generated, ignoring the usual affix generation rules

These items are visually distinguished from standard items by a gold icon (rather than an icon colored based on the base item's scaling stats).

Weapons

Only two weapons can be carried at a time. Attempting to pick up a third weapon will summon a prompt which compares all three weapons and asks the player to choose whether to discard a carried weapon in order to pick up the new weapon.

The following is a list of weapons in the game Dead Cells.

Melee Weapons

Damage output of melee weapons is usually increased based on the player's Brutality Stat, though some weapons can instead scale with either Tactics (Cursed Sword and Frantic Sword) or Survival (some slow, heavy-hitting weapons).

Shields

Shields are a special sub-class of weapons which focus on protecting the player from damage rather than killing enemies.

Passive Effects

Carrying a shield causes a force field to be granted for 0.5 seconds whenever the player takes damage. This barrier absorbs most types of damage while active (the exception is damage-over-time from status effects such as poison and darkness); however, force fields, both from shields and from other sources, reduce rally effect health gain by 65% while active, making it more difficult to recover recently-lost health before the rally effect expires.

Active Effects

Holding a shield's assigned button deploys it in front of the player, usually after a 0.37-second windup (the Front Line Shield instead has a 0.1-second windup). Attacks originating from in front of the shield which hit the player are reduced by the percentage specified on the shield (usually 75%) before being further reduced by other damage-reducing effects, and block damage, listed as non-critical damage, is dealt to enemies using melee attacks.

Tapping a shield's assigned button instead causes the player to attempt a parry with the shield. If no attacks arrive within the parry window, the player loses the ability to block or parry again for 0.6 seconds. However, if a non-shockwave attack or a bomb comes into contact with the shield during the parry window, any damage from the attack is nullified completely, the player is healed for 4% of maximum health, ability to parry subsequent attacks is preserved, and additional effects occur depending on the nature of the attack:

• Melee attackers take parry damage (indicated on the shield as a critical damage value).
• Ranged attacks are absorbed, then shot out as a forward arrow (like those produced by the Front Arrow affix) which deals 80 base damage.
• Bombs are thrown forward at great speed, exploding for 90 base damage.
• Explosions are absorbed without producing any retaliatory attacks.

Note: While using a parry-capable shield, the player will automatically parry attacks that land within the first 0.2 seconds after starting to raise the shield as long as the shield's assigned button is still being held down at the time of the attack landing.

Effect Scaling

Block and parry damage outputs of shields are usually increased based on the player's Survival stat. The absorbed percentage of damage while blocking, however, can only be increased by the presence of the Shield Absorb affix (7% extra absorbed damage while held up).

Icon	Name	Description	Blueprint Location	Block Damage	Parry Damage	Absorbed Amount of Damage Taken	Alternate Stat Scaling
	Good Ol' 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 (found in secret tile near the place where you start afterwards)	15 damage	30 damage	75%	None

	Punishment	Deals damage to all nearby enemies when you block an attack. Deals CRITICAL DAMAGE when you parry	Found in room behind key door within Clock Tower	30 damage	48 damage	75%	None

Skills

Skills are secondary abilities in Dead Cells that can be used in combat. The player must find skills throughout the run, as they will never start with them. Skill damage and cooldown are improved based on the player's Tactics stat, though some skills can instead scale their effects (but not their cooldowns) with Brutality or Survival.

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

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

Skills are roughly split into three types: traps and turrets, grenades, and powers (the contents of Miscellaneous at skill shops once Merchandise Categories has been unlocked).

Talismans

Talismans are passive equipment items. Most talismans do not have innate benefits - their utility comes from the affixes on them.

Only one talisman can be carried at a time. Upon picking up another talisman, a menu will appear, allowing the player to choose which of the two to keep.

Talismans can be sorted into two categories: amulets (generated talismans) and unique talismans.

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."

Generated talismans, called amulets, come in ruby, golden, ice, sapphire and moonstone varieties and are most frequently acquired by defeating Elite enemies or opening chests at the beginning of a challenge zone (at the end pre-baguette update) entered via challenge portals. They have no innate qualities, but always have one or more major and/or minor affixes in addition to one or more stat-upgrading affixes (+X Brutality/Tactics/Survival).

As amulets are leveled items, the gear levels of Biomes impact the quantity and quality of the Affixes on amulets found within them, especially stat-upgrading ones.

Unique Talismans

There is currently only one unique talisman, which cannot possess affixes of any kind.

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.

Ygdar Orus Li Ox

Formerly a unique talisman which sometimes appeared behind gold doors in the Prisoners' Cells or Prison Depths, it was changed into a Mutation in the Foundry Update. Both forms of Ygdar Orus Li Ox (abbreviated YOLO) revive the player on the spot if they would otherwise take a fatal blow while not under the effect of a curse, freezing nearby enemies for a short duration, bringing the player's health up to 25% of maximum health, and destroying themselves on use.
