In Punishing: Gray Raven, optimizing your gear, comprising both Memories (Program Chips) and Signature Weapons, is essential for maximizing Construct performance across all game modes. The current meta emphasizes specialized 4-piece Memory sets that boost specific elemental or damage types alongside key 2-piece survivability sets, paired with 6★ Signature Weapons that synergize tightly with each Construct’s kit. Below, we break down the top Memory sets and Weapons you should be farming right now, plus tips for fine-tuning your gear.

Top Memory (Program Chip) Sets

Memories grant set bonuses when equipped in two-piece or four-piece configurations, with 6★ sets being the clear endgame choice.

4-Piece Elemental & Damage Sets

  • Barton (Fire DPS): 2-piece +15% Fire DMG; 4-piece +20% Fire DMG for 8s after a 3-orb ping. Ideal on Fire damage dealers like Lucia: Pyroath.
  • Frederick (Ice DPS): 2-piece +15% Ice DMG; 4-piece +20% Ice DMG for 8s after a Signature Move. Perfect for Ice heroes such as Qu: Shukra.
  • Catherine (Physical DPS): 2-piece +10% Physical DMG; 4-piece reduces enemy Physical resistance by 15% for 5s after a 3-orb ping. Use on Physical damage dealers like Hanying: Solacetune.
  • Einstein (Mixed Support): 2-piece +10% all elemental DMG; 4-piece reduces enemy elemental resistance by 15% for 5s post–3-orb ping. Great on hybrid tanks/sub-DPS such as Watanabe: Epitaph.
  • Da Vinci (QTE Chaining): 2-piece +10% ATK; 4-piece triggers ally QTE when your Construct’s QTE is used, enabling massive chain combos (e.g., on Liv: Empyrea).
  • Vinci (Crit Focus): 2-piece +10% Crit Rate; 4-piece +20% Crit DMG for 8s after a Signature Move. Ideal for crit-heavy DPS like Luna: Oblivion.

2-Piece Survivability Set

  • Darwin (Durability): 2-piece reduces damage taken by 15% when HP exceeds 70%, ensuring squishy DPS stay alive longer.

Top Signature Weapons

Each Construct’s Signature Weapon unlocks unique passives tailored to their playstyle. Equipping the appropriate weapon is mandatory for peak performance.

  • Lucia: Pyroath – Blazing Trail: +20% Fire DMG and extended Time Lag Calculation (TLC) duration for heavier burst combos.
  • Hanying: Solacetune – Trueslash: Enhances Trueslash stack generation and enemy resistance shred, bolstering team-wide Physical damage.
  • Luna: Oblivion – Void Spiral: Reduces orb costs in Annihilation state, amplifying Nihil DMG and shield-shred potential.
  • Qu: Shukra – Frost Oath: +15% Ice DMG and increased Pet Summon uptime for sustained DPS.
  • Watanabe: Epitaph – Emberfang: +20% Fire/Nihil DMG and improved shred uptime, solidifying his tank/sub-DPS role.
  • Stigmata: Tethys – Dawnsting: +15% Ice DMG and boosted crit efficiency during Icefall state for high-burst Ice builds.
  • Selena: Cantabile – Song of Dusk: +10% team elemental DMG, increased healing and QTE uptime for support cycles.

Gear Optimization Tips

  1. Farm Efficiency: Prioritize Combat Supply Memories Stage 4 for a guaranteed 6★ Memory every eight runs with ~17% extra drop rate
  2. Resonance: Target Ex-Tactical Adjustment (+HP, +ATK) for bottom-row slots to boost survivability and damage; for top row, favor Ex-Precision Action (+HP, +CRIT)
  3. Grid Placement: Slot high-ATK memories in bottom row (04–06) and high-CRIT/HP memories in top row (01–03) to maximize stat gains (e.g., Darwin in top slots)
  4. Overclock & Enhance: Fully enhance 6★ Memories and weapons first; overclock only when you have surplus materials to unlock higher level caps

Deploying these gear recommendations will ensure your Constructs dominate the current meta in War Zone, Phantom Pain Cage, Narrative Expedition, and upcoming endgame content. Gear up, coordinate sets and weapons to your core team, and you’ll consistently hit top scores.
