Loot System
The loot system in Loot Survivor is inspired by the original Loot collection and forms the backbone of your adventurer's power progression.
Understanding how items work, their tiers, and special properties is essential for survival in Death Mountain. Each piece of equipment can evolve and gain powerful bonuses as you progress through the dangerous depths.

Item Properties
Each item has several key properties that determine its effectiveness:
- Tier - Base power level (T1-T5)
- Greatness - Special enhancement level (0-20)
- Suffix - Name suffix at Greatness 15+
- Prefixes - Additional bonuses at Greatness 19+
- +1 Modifier - +1 modifier at Greatness 20
Item Tiers
Items in Loot Survivor are categorized into 5 tiers, with T1 being the most powerful:
| Tier | Name | Rarity | Base Power | Drop Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Legendary | Highest | 5× multiplier | ~0.066% | Best-in-slot items with maximum base stats |
| T2 | Epic | Very High | 4× multiplier | ~0.2% | Powerful items with excellent stats |
| T3 | Rare | High | 3× multiplier | ~0.4% | Good equipment with solid performance |
| T4 | Uncommon | Medium | 2× multiplier | ~1.0% | Decent upgrades over starting gear |
| T5 | Common | Low | 1× multiplier | ~1.65% | Basic gear and starting equipment |
- Higher tiers provide better base damage/protection
- Tier multiplier affects combat calculations
- Better tiers are more likely to have special properties
- All tiers can potentially have suffixes and prefixes
Everything below this point represents Loot Survivor's unique interpretation of the original Loot collection. The Greatness System, combat types, materials, and their gameplay mechanics are specific to this game's implementation and not part of the base Loot specification.
Greatness System
Greatness is a special property that enhances items beyond their base tier:
Greatness Levels
| Greatness | Enhancement | Special Property |
|---|---|---|
| 1-14 | Base item | Standard tier bonuses only |
| 15 | Suffix unlocked | +3 stat bonus from suffix |
| 16-18 | Enhanced suffix | Suffix bonuses continue |
| 19 | Prefix unlocked | Additional stat bonuses |
| 20 | Stat Bonus | +1 assignable stat bonus |
How Greatness Works
- Items always start at greatness 1
