Injustice 2: 8 Leaks & Confirmed Details You Need To Know
4. The Gear System Is Very In-Depth
The new Gear system promises to make every fight matter, adding loot drops, EXP, and character stat modifiers to a genre that's traditionally strayed far away from these inclusions.
As players fight in Injustice 2, they'll start to unlock gear elements for their main character. They can equip these to modify variables with their character, as sort of an extension to Mortal Kombat X's Variation system.
Pick-ups can adjusts stats like maximum health, damage resistance, speed, and hitting power, but they can also increase your EXP gain rate or even add new special moves, or modify old ones. Plus, they look cool and give players the ability to say, deck out Superman in his Red Son hammer and sickle.
While this adds an element of customization and variety to the game, it's also a potential game balancing nightmare. Those of you who worry about the game's competitive integrity needn't, as Netherrealm has smartly added options to disable Gear entirely.
