Gears are equipable items that change your gameplay. There are 6 different types of gears you can buy in the shop as well as 4 other gears that can only be gained by other means.
All shop-bought gears except the hourglass can be upgraded in the skill tree to get extra bonuses while using them. There is also a secret section called Gearbox that will give players all of the shop-bought gears except the hourglass for free as well.
The price of the gears varies based on the length of the tower. The prices for noob towers (6 sections long) and pro towers (12 sections long) are shown for each gear below.
The gears only last for 1 round.

Banana | TBD | Ragdolls the player for a brief moment if they step on it. Banana must be dropped for it to work. | TBD. | Cannot be picked up, disappears after roughly 1 minute. |
Bloxy Cola | A cosmetic that does not affect you, other players or gameplay. | Open the small vault under Pÿrx's desk in Start (Revamped, 2023) and click on the Bloxy Cola. | Due to the section's removal, this gear is removed/made inaccessible. |
Trivia[]
- The hook and hourglass used to cost Robux but were changed to cost coins on August 16th, 2020.
- When you obtain the jump coil you will also receive its plastic counterpart effect.
- Coils used to have different icons, but they were changed to the current icons on February 23rd, 2020.
- If you combine a gravity coil with the double jump skill and the double jump mutator, you will get a triple jump.
- The YXTerminator was originally planned to ban the player it hits; however, this idea was scrapped due to the threat of misfiring and accidentally banning someone else.
- The Bomb used to be able to destroy sections, allowing players to make sections impossible, however, this has been patched.
- The Bomb used to be able to launch players instead of killing them because of the forcefield from spawning.
- When you jump in the air using a jump coil or gravity coil, the jumps in the air make the same noise as jumps on the ground.
- uwuPyxl teased the Hook gear on X with two posts before its release.
- The first post features uwuPyxl hanging off the beginning platform from Overlapped.[1]
- The second post features uwuPyxl swinging across Vortex using a platform above from Animous, he then swings past the first few trusses in Climb using platforms above again.[2]
- Like with all of uwuPyxl's posts on X, the two posts have been deleted.
