Common and Uncommon gear
Common and Uncommon gear (also known as Whites and Blues, respectively), will be the first gear you come across in the game. It's not flashy or... really even that good... but it will get you comfortably through the beginning levels of scenarios. It drops on the floor very frequently, and will fill your equips tab faster than you can say 'Joah Ferrero', which honestly makes this gear best for nothing other than disassembly fodder.
