Best Equipment in Survivor.io - Equipment Tier List

There are six equipment slots for your character, broken into spots for belts, necklaces, gloves, and more. While each item can be upgraded to provide even more abilities, this ranking list evaluates each item from S to F tier based on their base stats. As a result, you may notice that some sections of this ranking system state NA instead of listing anything in that particular group. That's because the base rankings for the equipment in Survivor.io tend to jump around a little bit, so there may only be S or F tier items for a particular category.

S Tier Equipment in Survivor.io

This is the gold standard of equipment. Use these items in place of pretty much everything else because this equipment offers the best benefits out of everything in the game. The Eternal Build is by far the best build you can get in the game because some items, like the Eternal Belt, will give you invincibility for 60 seconds while you are taking hits.

A Tier Equipment in Survivor.io

Though A tier equipment isn't quite as good as S tier, these are still solid options that will provide reliable protection for you during gameplay. There aren't any gloves or belts in the A tier, so aim for items like the Full Metal Suit which can go so far as to boost your HP by 20%. A boost that large can have huge effects on your ability to last in a fight.

B Tier Equipment in Survivor.io

B tier equipment is fairly middle of the road. It'll go some way towards protecting you, but you should try to upgrade or change your equipment at the first available opportunity. In general, the Army build is pretty middle of the road in Survivor.io. At its best, items like the Army Boots will give an HP boost of 15% when they've been upgraded to Legendary grade. You'll need to focus on fixing up these items first, however, because many of them don't offer benefits until they reach a grade of Better.

F Tier Equipment in Survivor.io

Get away from this equipment as quickly as possible. The protection is not worth the cost of utilizing this equipment in place of something from the above tiers. Most of these items don't offer benefits until they reach a grade of Better and even then the skills only come at a high cost. For the Traveler's Jacket, you'll heal 5% for every 200 monsters you kill but you'll need to first upgrade the jacket to Epic Grade. It's not worth the slog.
