BioShock Infinite Gear locations
Gear locations are always the same, however the actual gear you get is random.
Notes:
1. Gear locations are the same, however the actual gear you get is random.
2. Reloading a checkpoint (be careful!) can mean you get a different gear if you're after something specific.
3. Gear can be very important when running though on 1999 mode.
4. This list is not yet complete, and is a work in progress.
