Player Bracket

Player Brackets are used inside the Dark Zone, and is a separate system than the World Bracket system used to determine NPC levels. Currently the player brackets are separated into the following categories:

- Levels 1-14

- Levels 15-19

- Levels 20-24

- Levels 25-29

- Level 30 (below Gear Score 160)

- Level 30 (161-182 Gear Score)

- Level 30 (183-204 Gear Score)

- Level 30 (205-229 Gear Score)

- Level 30 (230- 255 Gear Score)

- Level 30 (256+ Gear Score)

DZ Mismatches
Only players in the same player bracket will show up in each other's Dark Zone server. If any players are outside the bracket with any particular member of the group, they will not show up in each other's Dark Zone. If this is the case, the status bar will show the member who is excluded with a red X and alternating their name and the words "DZ Mismatch." The only way to remedy this is to have the particular player be within the bracket range. It should be noted that a players rank (non-DZ) can not be leveled up inside the Dark Zone, but their gear score can be increased.
