[h2]▣ Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System[/h2]
▷ Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System will be implemented.

◆ Ensured Selection System Activation Requirement
- Using 500 of either Tuning or Set Binaries.

[h3]【 Tuning Binary Example - How the System Works 】 [/h3]


1. Select the gear that you wish to change its option.

2. Roll for the option you are after.

• 
  The mileage is purely based on the number of tuning binaries used, regardless of other factors.
  

3. If your mileage reaches 500 or above, you must press confirm on the current option section or cancel the roll by exiting the tuning screen to activate the [Option Selection].



★☆★ Based on the option you have chosen, it will give you a different selection pop-up window. ★☆★

For example, since the above example selects [Option 1], pressing the [Confirm] will result in the following pop-up screen.


As such, selecting [Option 2] like below will give you the corresponding selection screen.


4. After selecting your option and pressing the [Select] option, the following confirmation pop-up window will appear.



5. Selecting [OK] will give you the selected option for the gear.


[h3]※ Tuning Binaries spent on Gear Precision will NOT count toward the mileage![/h3]


[h3]【 Set Binary Example - How the System Works 】 [/h3]



1. Select the gear that you wish to change its set option.

2. Roll for the option you are after.

• 
  The mileage is purely based on the number of set binaries used, regardless of other factors.
  

3. If your mileage reaches 500 or above, press confirm on the current option in the [To-be] section or cancel the roll by exiting the tuning screen to activate the [Set Selection].



4. After selecting the [Confirm] above, the [Change] option will deactivate, and the [Set Selection] will be turned on.


5. Selecting the [Confrim] option will trigger the following pop-up to appear.
※ Do keep in mind that you cannot select the set option that is already engraved in the gear.


6. After selecting the set option you want and pressing the [Select] option, the following confirmation pop-up window will appear.


7. After selecting [OK] on the pop-up window, the selected set option will be engraved on the gear, and the mileage accumulation exceeding 500 at the activation point will be reflected in the cumulative count for the next activation.

Dear CEOs,

This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.

The Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System mentioned in the last October 2024 Dev Notes will be implemented during the November 13 update.

We understand that many of our CEOs have eagerly anticipated this system, so we would like to explain it in more detail before the update.

The Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System is a mileage system in which our CEOs can receive an ensured selection opportunity based on the number of tuning and set binaries used.

The mileage will accumulate based on the total number of tuning and set binaries used on any gear, not as an individual mileage accumulation for each gear.

The mileage is purely based on the number of tuning and set binaries our CEOs have used. The accumulation is not affected by whatever option our CEOs have received from the gear tuning or the grade of gear our CEOs have used the binaries on, and so forth. Keep in mind that tuning binaries used on Gear Precision will not count.

The ensured selection opportunity for the gear and set option is granted when our CEOs use 500 or more tuning and set binaries, and the number exceeding 500 will be reflected in the mileage count for the next selection.

Moreover, if the cumulative mileage reaches 500 during the gear and set option change, CEOs will not be able to make additional changes until confirming or canceling the option.

We have summarized the information provided above for your reference.

[h3]▣ Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System[/h3]

• 
  Ensured Selection will activate when 500 tuning and set binaries are used
  
  • 
    Tuning Binaries spent on Gear Precision will not count toward the mileage
    
• 
  Mileage is accumulated as a total binary usage, not individually for each gear
  
• 
  Mileage is purely based on the number of tuning and set binaries used, regardless of other factors
  
• 
  Mileage accumulation exceeding 500 at the activation point is reflected in the cumulative count for the next activation
  
  • 
    Example: If you use 12 set binaries for a tier 7 gear option change when the mileage count is 494, the next set binary usage count will start from 6.
    
• 
  No additional tuning and set binaries can be used when the system is activated
  
• 
  After activating the system, CEOs can proceed with the next ensured selection accumulation after confirming or canceling the current option
  
• 
  The option currently held by the gear is locked and cannot be selected
  

A kind reminder that the number of tuning and set binaries used before the system update will not be reflected, as mentioned in the previous developer's note. We hope that this newly added Gear & Set Option Ensured Selection System will help our CEOs obtain the gear more easily.

We will continue to listen to your valuable feedback and strive to provide an environment where our CEOs can enjoy CounterSide even more.

Thank you.
