Where to Find Gems?

Gems appear as rare loot items during scavenging runs and are also available in some in-game shops like the Black Market Contact inside your hideout. The most consistent way to obtain rare gems such as the Gold Badge is through the Black Market where it can be purchased with in-game currency, though this is an expensive option. Other gems spawn randomly in loot, so thorough searching and frequent raids will increase your chances.

How to use gems effectively on weapons

Gems can be equipped in the gem slots found on certain melee weapons, especially axes.

Equipping a gem such as the Gold Badge boosts melee damage by 10%, critical hit chance by 10%, and adds a 100% bleed effect to your attacks. This makes your melee weapon significantly stronger in combat. Always try to keep your gem-equipped weapon ready for combat situations to utilize their boosts.
