Gear management is faster when equipment is judged by how well it fits the build, not by one isolated number.
Keep the active loadout obvious
The weapons and equipment you actually use should be easy to distinguish from items awaiting comparison.
Compare around the build
An item is only an upgrade if it improves the way you play or solves a current weakness.
Remove low-value clutter regularly
Selling or dismantling unused items keeps future comparisons fast.
Clean up between mission groups
A quick reset makes new rewards easier to evaluate and prevents hidden inventory pressure.
