How do dark zone brackets work?

Matchmaking in the Dark Zones occurs in two separate brackets. On the one side, players are matched in level buckets (1-10, 11-20, and 21-30) and normalized to the same power level. On the other side, all players who have reached World Tier are matched together and normalized to the same World Tier.

How to fix DZ Mismatch?

These brackets are determined by your level, since your level dictates the type of gear you can obtain. The only direction to move in these brackets is upwards. So, in order to change your bracket, you simply need to level up.

How do I change my dark zone bracket?

A DZ Mismatch error occurs when a player that is supposed to play in another Dark Zone bracket tries to join your session in the Dark Zone. So while you and your friends could see a similar or even the same Gear Score value in the inventory \u2013 that's not the one looked at by the game.
