How we measure
- This is fighting only: PvP and war (GvG). Only fight stats count: STR, DEF, SPD, CUN, STA, HP, PvP Power and crit chance. Crime, reward, jail, bail, energy and business effects don't count.
- A business function is gear too. The Gun Store (STR and PvP Power) and the Chop Shop (SPD) add up everywhere gear is read, without taking a slot. The order below only has items; to add both functions, run your numbers in the Calculator.
- The order is the average of many builds. We put each item on 66 different STR, DEF and Stamina builds, from all-DEF to all-Stamina. The item that wins the most on average goes first. Since everyone sets up their build their own way, to fine-tune the pick for your build, test it in the Calculator.
- Don't have the first one on the list? Use the second. Don't have the second, the third, and so on. The number is the order: 1 is the best in the slot. In slots with 3 spots (weapon, backpack, jewelry), equip the first 3 you have.
- Godfather (red), Kingpin (yellow) and Syndicate (purple) are included, in the game's colors. The purples show the way up until you get the best ones.
- When two items are nearly tied, the shows up next to the name. Hover (or tap) to see when one beats the other. The right-hand column shows how much chance you lose using the item instead of the last one that makes the cut.

Items that no longer drop from any crime (e.g. Armored Jacket, Hacking Rig) are left out. Skill books have their own drop, only from tier 4 and 5 crimes, and aren't on this list. There's only one Kingpin helmet (Spec-Ops Nightframe) and no Kingpin belt — on the belt, the next one after Godfather is Syndicate.
When two items are nearly tied
Some items are better for almost everyone, and some pairs end up tied. On the pairs that tie, the shows up next to the name. What you need to know:
- Stats always help a little. STR, DEF, SPD, CUN and PvP Power improve your chance to hit and not get hit in every fight.
- Stamina and HP help in jumps. You drop after a certain number of hits. A few extra HP only make a difference when they let you take one more full hit; then the difference is big. If they don't get you there, they change nothing.
- That's why some items “win most of the time, but barely” (the stat one) and some “win less often, but by a lot” (the HP one).
To compare two items with your build, open the Calculator, load your character and test one item and then the other.
How we rank
- This is crime only. Each item is compared with the ones in the same slot only by what it gives on its own, without your level and without your build. Fighting doesn't count.
- The order: 1. Overdose, the lower the better: only 2 pieces of gear in the game cut it. 2. Reward, the higher the better: it raises what each successful crime pays. 3. Hospital Bill, the cheaper the better: paying less makes an overdose cheaper. In these three, the first criterion where the two items differ decides, no matter the rest. 4. One sum. A weapon that raises Jail goes to the end of the slot: jail is kept in check with the right weapon and with the items that cut Jail. Besides that, the whole item is added up: every point of Jail cut, of crime Success added and of stats (STR, DEF, SPD and CUN) added counts 1. It's the math we use to compare, not a game rule: in the game, each stat weighs differently in each crime. The one with the higher sum wins. Max Energy and Bail only break ties: Energy changes neither the chance nor the payout of any crime, and Bail is only paid in jail. The first ones in each slot, up to the number of spaces, are the ones that go in.
- Color doesn't decide on its own. Example: in the backpack, the Field Med Kit (purple, Hospital Bill −10%) comes before the Shadow Network (yellow, Jail −8%), because Hospital Bill comes before Jail.
- The whole item counts. Example: the Ballistic Helmet (purple; +4% Success, CUN 5, DEF 10: 19 points) beats the Riot Surplus Helmet (green; −3% Jail, DEF 6: 9), the Night Vision Goggles (green; +6% Success: 6) and the Ski Mask (gray; −2% Jail, +3% Success: 5), and it does that without cutting Jail, which the Riot Surplus Helmet and the Ski Mask do.
- 95% cap: success chance doesn't go past it, and training also takes you there. That's why Success is only one part of the sum, along with Jail and the stats. Putting the gear together to reach the highest chance on each crime is your call: the site doesn't know your build.
- Fighting is something else: for corner duels, PvP and war, switch to the gear in the PvP tab.
