Player Rank improves the odds of higher-rarity gear, so routine dives contribute to a longer-term equipment goal.

If you want better chances at high-rarity equipment, keep raising Player Rank while collecting gear from dives. Gear ranges from Uncommon to Legendary, and the odds of higher rarity improve as rank rises. This is an odds improvement, not a promise that the next item will be a particular rarity. Gear drops can come from bosses and, less reliably, regular enemies.
Repeat dives as long as you want to raise Player Rank and improve high-rarity odds. The process is ongoing; no particular rarity is guaranteed from an individual drop.
Pause this goal when your rank has advanced and a current item improves your build, then return to rarity farming when you have another useful mission to run.

More guides for gathering materials and making progress.
A Dreadnought kill gives a guaranteed gear drop, making Elimination a direct route to equipment and run resources.
Masteries turn focused challenges into permanent rewards that support later dives.
Regular Glyphids provide a secondary, chance-based gear source when a run does not center on a Dreadnought.
