Gear JSON Import Guide

The Gear JSON import feature lets you export your in-game gear data as JSON, then import it into Gear Manager so Gear Picker can use your actual in-game gear data.

This feature requires BrownDustX (BDX) and the corresponding GearExport feature. BDX only supports BrownDust2's PC Client. It does not support mobile or emulator versions.

1. Install BrownDustX (BDX)

Before exporting gear JSON, install BDX first.

BDX is an external plugin for BrownDust2's PC Client. Refer to:

• BrownDustX (BDX) introduction
• BDX Discord
• Official BDX installation guide

For the first installation, follow the official BDX guide to complete:

1. Install BepInEx
2. Install BrownDustX (BDX)
3. Start the game and confirm BDX works correctly

After the game is updated, wait for the BDX author to release a compatible version before installing a new BDX version.

2. Export gear JSON from the game

After installing BDX, enter the game and open the BDX window:

F8 -> GearExport -> Export Gear

Click Export Gear, and BDX will export a gear JSON file.

Exported JSON location:

"X:\Neowiz\Browndust2\Browndust2_10000001\BepInEx\plugins\BrownDustX\GearExport\gear...json"

This path is only a reference. The game folder may differ depending on each user's installation environment.

3. Import to the website

Return to the website's Gear JSON import page.

1. Click "Import JSON"
2. Select the JSON file exported by BDX
3. Confirm the gear list shown on the page
4. Choose "Update Local Gear" or "Update Cloud Gear"

Before updating, the website will show a confirmation dialog. After confirmation, the current GearManager gear data will be fully replaced by the gear successfully imported from this JSON.

4. Local update and cloud update

Update Local Gear

• Replaces the current browser's local GearManager gear data
• Does not require sign-in
• Only affects the current device and browser

Update Cloud Gear

• Requires sign-in
• Replaces the cloud GearManager gear data
• Also backs up the imported data to local gear data after success

5. Import rules

Gear JSON import currently follows these rules:

1. Only gear enhanced to level 9 is imported.
2. Crafted gear currently supports UR4 / UR3.
3. Exclusive gear supports UR / SR; only exclusive gear imports SR gear additionally.
4. Fiend gear only imports UR3 gear and does not import SR Fiend gear.
5. Unsupported gear, missing data, or parse failures will not be imported.

If a newly released character's exclusive weapon does not appear in the import result after a game update, it usually means the website data has not been updated yet. Wait for the website to update, then import the JSON again.

6. Important notes

The import feature fully replaces your gear data. It does not append gear.

After clicking update and confirming:

• The current GearManager gear data will be replaced by the gear successfully imported from this JSON
• Unsupported or failed gear will not be retained
• Existing GearPicker records that reference old gear may no longer match the original gear

If you are not sure whether you want to overwrite your data, avoid updating cloud data for now.

7. Data safety

The JSON file is parsed and previewed in your browser first.

Imported gear data is only saved to the cloud after you click "Update Cloud Gear" and confirm.

If you only click "Update Local Gear", the data is stored only in the current browser.
