Hi all,
in the last days I'm having a strange problem in lockdown: I get always in T3 matches, while i'm with T2 equipment.
The problem started the day I (both the same day and before playing lockdown) acquired 3 star certification in the second Hall of Heroes and got a Bomb Focus Module.
I know that tier is determinated by the stars of the equip with most of them, and firsts time it happened I equipped the Focus Module so it was normal to be in T3.. but since then I always appear as tier 3, even if the focus module is the only 4* equip I have and the equip i use for lockdown is:

- Fused Demo Helm (3*)
- Fused Demo Suit (3*)
- Scarlet Shield (3*)

- Heart Pendant (1*)
- Jelly Band (2*)

- Freezing Vaporizer Mk II (3*)
- Fiery Vaporizer Mk II (3*)
- Shockburst Brandish (3*)

What's the problem?
Thanks for any help..

You know nothing

Kidding. But LD tier is not determined by number of "most" stars. Otherwise, you would see 5* weapons in T1 games, where everyone rocks proto and other 0* gear.

No. The tier is decided upon your highest * gear that you are wearing.

Also, if you have loadouts saved for quick switching, they need to be unmarked pvp. The red crossed swords means you are able to switch into that gear in a match. Click on the swords, or right click to unmark pvp. They should not be crossed anymore, and be parallel with a blue background.

Sorry for bad English

My English is not that well..
With "most" I intended "hightest", in fact in the loadout I posted has no 4 or 5 star gear, as also the pvp bar of the loadout says.. but still I found myself only in T3 parties ._.

So..

So.. what I didn't know is that equips of ALL the pvp-marked loadouts are considered in the tier determination?

Exactly. It's because you could use a low level equip, then switch to a stronger equip in the middle of the battle.

So much sense...... they should have sent a poet.

First time log in to the forums just to thank you for stopping my head from exploding after yelling "How come these jerks get to use *** items and I'm stuck with a freaking hot edge!
