Items

There are a wide variety of items in Descenders. They are all strictly cosmetic and do not offer any performance or bike bonuses. All items are obtained in various manners. All work with each of the three bike types.

Items are colour-coded by their rarity and unlock method; to determine what rarity an item is, check the background.
 * Limited Skins: Yellow (with some exceptions)
 * Team Skins: Grey
 * Common Skins: White
 * Uncommon Skins: Green
 * Rare Skins: Blue
 * Extraordinary Skins: Purple

If any items are marked with these symbols, they are not available on that particular version of the game:
 * - not available on the Steam version of the game
 * - not available on the Xbox/PC Game Pass version of the game
 * - not available on the PS4 version of the game
 * - not available on the Switch version of the game

In the case of the console versions, it is highly inadvisable to attempt to redeem item codes for items if they are not yet implemented in those versions.

To find a specific item easier, use your browser's search function (typically CTRL+F) and enter the name of the item (or part of it, in some cases).

=List of items= The following is a list of items in the game, separated by rarity and unlock method.

A 'run' is defined as a Career or a Career-Plus session. The Daily Challenge also allows you the ability to unlock items. No other sessions allow you to unlock items.

It's worth noting that although your chances increase the more rep you score in a run, unless you are directly hitting the 100% threshold an item of the targeted rarity is not guaranteed. It is entirely possible to score, for example, 200,000 rep in a run thrice in a row and yet not get any Extraordinary out of it due to bad luck.

Common Skins ( White )

Common skins require 200 rep in a run for a 20% chance, up to 1k+ rep in a run for a 100% chance.

Uncommon Skins ( Green )

Uncommon skins require 2k rep in a run for a 20% chance, up to 10k+ rep in a run for a 100% chance.

Rare Skins ( Blue )

Rare skins require 10k rep in a run for a 20% chance, up to 50k+ rep in a run for a 100% chance.

Extraordinary Skins ( Purple )

Extraordinary skins require 50k rep in a run for a 20% chance, up to 250k+ rep in a run for a 100% chance.

Secret Code
These items are unlocked by inputting a code under Extras --> Redeem Code. Codes are case-insensitive. Asterisks (*) denote additional notes related to the items below the table.

The MERRYCHRISTMAS code currently has known redemption issues; a game restart will fix the game.

Players might need to subscribe to their respective console's online subscription service in order to be able to redeem codes.

* SPOOPY gives both the Skeleton Jersey and Pants with one code redemption; also, the items are classified as Uncommon instead of Limited. However, they cannot be obtained during a run. As these items cannot be obtained otherwise, they are displayed here instead of the Normal Skins section. * MERRYCHRISTMAS gives all 4 Christmas jerseys with one code redemption, and the team jerseys are classified as team items instead of Limited. As the team jerseys cannot be obtained via the standard team equipment methods, they are displayed here instead of the Team Skins section. * ICEFOXX gives all 5 items of the Cashcow set with one code redemption. * TEAMRAZER gives both the #TeamRazer jersey and shorts with one code redemption. * WARCHILD gives both the jersey and shorts with one code redemption. These items were previously obtained by playing the game during the War Child Sporting Champions event.

Nations
For the following group of items, one single code NATIONS gives all of these items. (The country names are not individual codes.)

MOTY 2019
The following items were designed by winners of the Descenders Mod of the Year 2019 competition. Note that Z50 Productions and Siro do not (currently?) have Mod of the Year gear.

^Stoker Bike Park now comes with the game itself; downloading the mod is no longer necessary.

Custom Gear
To unlock multiple blank sets of Custom Gear (10 each of Goggles, Helmet, Jersey Long, Jersey Short, Pants, Shorts, and 25 Bikes), redeem the code CUSTOM. For full instructions on how to use your own custom gear, see the readme file in the CustomGear folder in the installation directory.

It's worth noting that this is marked as not being available on Xbox, PS4, and Switch for obvious reasons (the gear cannot be modded), but it is still possible to redeem the codes on Xbox and PS4 only for extra blank gear.

Non-limited items unlockable via code
The High Voltage Set (except the bike) and the Training Set can also be unlocked via the codes, in quotes, "HIGHVOLTAGE" and "STABLE". To view the item images, press CTRL+F in your browser and type the respective code, then search for a latter search result to jump to that section of the page. As these items are not classified as Limited, they are not displayed here.

Special Unlock
These items are unlocked by fulfilling special conditions in-game.

General
* You get the Mod.io pants and jersey simultaneously.

Descenders Legendary Set
Complete a full Career mode run for the full set.

Descenders Master Set
Complete a full Career-Plus mode run for the full set.

Special Events
These items are unlocked during special events. Items unlocked via developer-supplied codes are marked with an asterisk (*).

Tournaments/MOTY 2020
These items were awarded via developer-supplied codes to the top three positions of the Mod Of The Year 2020 competition, as well as various community-run tournaments.

Limited Items
These items are limited in the sense that they are only available from contests or other occasions. These are among the rarest limited items to ever exist in the game, and there is no guarantee that you'll be able to get them, with some items (accordingly) unattainable. Keep an eye on the Discord server for any news.

^No longer attainable.

Legacy Items
These items are PC-only and were obtained if you had more than the specified amount of Rep at any point before May 15, 2018 (even if you lost Rep and dropped below the values required). For obvious reasons, these are no longer attainable.

Xbox One Kit
This kit is exclusive to Xbox One and Microsoft Store owners.

Mixer Kit
'''This kit is no longer available due to Mixer's shutdown. The unlock method is preserved below; however it will not work.''' This kit was unlocked by setting up Mixer integration: Settings --> Gameplay --> Go Interactive on Mixer.

IndieBox Jersies
These jersies are unlocked by purchasing the associated real-life shirt from IndieBox.

Team Skins
Each of the three teams, Kinetic, Enemy, and Arboreal, have their own sets of skins. To join a team, find and complete their team node thrice, then accept the offer from that team to join them. When that happens, you will immediately get the community equipment set. To progress further and unlock more team gear, continue to complete up to 3 sponsor objectives that the game issues every day at 00:00 GMT. The order the rank items are unlocked in is top-downwards, meaning you will unlock the Novice Goggles before the Novice Helmet, and so on.

Sponsor objectives gradually get harder as the player ranks up. Should any sponsor objectives be left uncompleted on any day, they will carry over to the next day(s) until they are completed; however, no new objective will be issued in that case immediately after completion. One sponsor objective can be changed per day. The system will not skip unlocks for items that you have already unlocked, which means that it will take 16 days at minimum to fully complete a sponsor contract for a single team (48 tasks in total).

A team can be left at any time; however, when this occurs, progress made towards sponsor gear will be reset, team gear will not be able to be equipped, and any team gear equipped will be automatically unequipped. However, the player will keep any team gear that they have already unlocked.

Note that Pants/Shorts, and Jersey Long/Short are unlocked simultaneously. For reference, the legacy system for team unlocks is preserved at the directly preceding link.

Community Sets
These kits were designed by members of the Descenders Discord Server prior to game launch.

Special Events
These items are unlocked during special events. Items unlocked via developer-supplied codes are marked with an asterisk (*).

Note: It is highly likely that similar tokens exist for Arboreal and Enemy, but these are not officially confirmed.

Normal Skins
'Normal' skins are skins earned by reaching rep targets during runs and then getting lucky with the dice rolls. There are 4 skin rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Extraordinary.

How the item drop system works is as follows: the game first checks your rep earned in a session to see what is the highest rarity item you are eligible for. From there, the game, depending on the rep earned, will roll for a chance at that item. If that roll fails, the game will then proceed to the immediate lower rarity and do the same procedure. This continues until either an item is gained, or there is no more item in the lowest rarity left to unlock. For example, if the player earns 50k rep in a run, the game will roll for an Extraordinary item, with a 20% chance of succeeding; failing which, the game will roll for a Rare item, with a 100% chance of succeeding.

The player can only earn one item from this item category per run.

Common Skins
The player starts out with the Flat Basic and Ether Basic skins by default.

 * The Invisibike has no name displayed in-game.
 * The Rubber Doggy was initially mis-classified as a Rare; it has since been downgraded to an Uncommon.
 * The Cashcow set and the unlock code is a reference to the irate, incomprehensible ramblings of a certain disgruntled individual.
