Equipment is the gear your character wears in Survive a Million Monkeys. Each piece gives a bonus of its own, such as more maximum health, faster movement or extra Cash. It's separate from the guns you hold and the Cash upgrades you buy during a run, so it adds another layer to how you survive. Once you know how the slots work and where each piece drops, it's much easier to decide what to chase.

How the Head, Torso and Legs Slots Work
Equipment goes into three slots: head, torso and legs. The Equipment menu shows which slot each piece uses under a Wearing heading. You can wear a piece from each slot at the same time, and each piece provides its own effect.
How to Get Equipment
Most equipment comes from boss fights, and each boss has its own list of possible drops. Every drop is a chance rather than a promise. Even the better odds can miss on any given fight, and the lower ones can take many fights to land, so expect to spend some time with each boss you're after.
Which Equipment Is Best
Mutagen Tank is built for trouble. When your health drops low, it gives you a short burst of much faster healing, speed and firing, which can turn a shaky moment around.
Cove Bling helps across the whole run. It raises the Cash you earn, and that Cash pays for the upgrades that keep you alive. Every so often, your next kill heals you a little.
Standard Issue gives a steady lift to maximum health, while Tiki Skirt adds walking speed.
FAQ
Does turning off Show on Character remove a piece's bonus?
SHOW ON CHARACTER is a separate appearance toggle. Check WEARING and the EQUIPPED label to confirm which gear you have selected.
Where can I see a boss's drop chances?
During the fight, the boss's DROPS list sits next to its health bar and shows the chance for each piece. Use it to see what a fight could give you, but remember those numbers are chances, not guarantees.
