A gear grid has space for 9 gear cards. Gear cards can be arranged in any configuration, but must remain right-side up. They cannot be rotated. These cards represent what a survivor is wearing and carrying.
Gear in gear grids can only be rearranged during the Settlement Phase.
A survivor's gear grid also contains reminder information for the actions a survivor can perform during their act, the rules for the various survival actions and the stats and rules for a survivor's Fist & Tooth weapon.
