Most tournament worthy decks weren't packing much equipment, if any at all.
But now with GK, and a few cards like Cyborg, will we see more tournament worthy cards of this type?
League of Assassins may start bringing on the equipment, with their scary Wheel of Plagues and such. In general though, I think equipment will still play a minor part in most decks.
I also think Transferable will help equipment. One reason I didn't play equipment as much is because you always knew that next turn, there would be a stronger character coming- and if a character with equipment is KO'd, so is the equipment.
Well now, you can always transfer your equips to the strongest characters you have.
A lower drop + equipment is almost never better then a normal drop for that turn. The times equipment will get played are when its ability is uniq "pogo" or you can play it for less "Mr Strech" The cost of useing a resorce on an equipment is so high that it either has 2 be amazingly useful and so far there arnt 2 many that are. Personal force field and pogo are about the most useful / uniq equipment effects so theyll see alot of play.
Or transfer to the guy that you don't mind losing if it keeps the other ones around. It becomes something of a win-win for you. If they get the big guy, you keep the equipment. If they get the little guy, then you still have the big one.
Alot will depend on what exactly the equipment does.
Well, if I had a transferable unstable molocules, you could always throw it away at some character you knwo is going to stun just to prevent 3 enduance loss.
I see equipment becoming maybe a LITTLE more popular with DC's release. There are many decks that pack 0-4 equips. Several of mine have none. Simply because- even if it is a free equip- its taking up valuable space in a deck.
We need more equips that give abilities to characters.
With all these new activated abilities I see in DC I think Doom's Power Compresor might strike a comeback. I personally use Jet packs and Personal FF, with the occasional Dual Side Arms or Advanced Hardware.
These DC guys especially GK take equipment to the playable level.

You might see it on Turn 6 in a common enemy deck with Stretch.
One thing I don’t like about equipment is that it cannot be dumped in your resource row. Well, it can, but it won’t do anything. On a toss-up between some equipment and a plot twist, the plot twist always wins as it means you’re less likely to have to waste a card in your resource row.
