# GearCategory

This datablock collects several different DataBlock entries and types of metadata and integrates them into a single entry that can be referenced in the [PlayerOfflineGearDatablock](/wiki/reference/datablocks/main/playerofflinegear.md):

* An [ItemDataBlock](/wiki/reference/datablocks/main/item.md) entry ([BaseItem](#baseitem-uint32-itemdatablock), defining what kind of item something is)
* 4 [ArchetypeDataBlock](/wiki/reference/datablocks/main/archetype.md) fire modes (for projectile weapons)
* A Melee attack mode (also from [ArchetypeDataBlock](/wiki/reference/datablocks/main/archetype.md), for Melee weapons)
* A priority list for Part alignments, used when a weapon is assembled in [PlayerOfflineGearDataBlock](/wiki/reference/datablocks/main/playerofflinegear.md)
