    Just as with the Weapon Challenges the gear challenges for each javelin are also quite similar. All you have to do is play a total of 4 missions or world events with specific abilities equipped on your Ranger javelin.

    You can track your progress by pressing cn_back, then browse to Challenges -> Gear -> Ranger. Select the ability you want to track and hit cn_X.

    The 12 Ranger gear challenges required for this achievement are:

    Bulwark Point I
    Venom Darts I
    Seeker Grenades I
    Frost Grenade I
    Blast Missile I
    Frag Grenade I
    Inferno Grenade I
    Muster Point I
    Pulse Blast I
    Seeking Missile I
    Spark Beam I
    Sticky Grenade I

    The abilities drop in the world or in any mission, but only if you have the correct javelin equipped while you look for them. This isn't as bad as it looks as missions are completed in 10 minutes and you can equip 3 abilities at the same time.

    The fastest way to level these up would be to go to Freeplay with coop partners. Take off in different directions and let each other know when you found a world event, then join up. World events can be completed in under 5 minutes and will count toward the challenge. They can easily be done solo as well (set the difficulty to easy if you have to) but can sometimes be a bit hard to find.

    If you're doing this solo then I recommend combining this with the Explorer achievements for maximized efficiency. laugh

    LLboxedThis should work with any color quality. For me it did, anyway.

    J4CKA1I got a masterwork version of searching glaive and finished that one up with it. LLboxed is correct. Also, idk if it matters or not, but I wasn't getting many abilities on grandmaster difficulties, but started running "easy" missions through quick play and they started dropping more frequently. could just be coincidence...

    The Gear I Challenges themselves are pretty straight forward.
    Equip Gear for the respective Challenge and complete:

    4 Missions or
    4 Contracts or
    4 Strongholds or
    4 World Events in Freeplay (quickest option IMO)


    Press cn_back browse to Challenges >> Gear >> Ranger and check your progress.

    The problem with this Achievement is the high RNG factor. You can obtain Gear as random drops after killing enemies or opening chests - you have no possibility to influence anything here.
    I had to grind for a whole week the daily Legendary Missions/Legendary Contracts as well as the normal Contracts (Freelancer/Sentinel/Arcanist) to finally acquire Sticky Grenades which was the only Gear that was missing for me to complete the Ranger Gear I Challenges. Very annyoing!

    You will curse the game.
    You will think the game is even more bugged.
    You will think that the Gear you need does not exist.
    Grit your teeth and just hang in there! If I can unlock this Achievment - then you can do it as well!

    Additionally, you have the option to buy Weapons and Gear for 2000 Gold each in the Regulator Store every week. But again, it's bare RNG that you can't influence.

    Therefore I can only give the following tips:
    Visit the Regulator Store once a week.
    Play all Missions/Contracts/Strongholds/Freeplay on Difficulty "NORMAL" because the rarity is not decisive for the Achievement. The main thing is that you have it equipped for your Javelin!

    Personal note: This is my first guide. Constructive feedback is welcome!
