Patch 1.2 has introduced 200+ Gear Score bracket in Dark Zone. To my surprise I'm in that bracket, even though my displayed Gear Score is 191.
What exactly determines which bracket are you assigned to?

What exactly determines which bracket are you assigned to?
If you have any items that exceed 201 gear level you will find yourself in the 201+ bracket, whether the gear is equipped, in your inventory, or in your stash. This is true even if your average gear score is below 201.
For example, when I tested this earlier today my gear score was 196. At that time I had a 214 holster and a 204 sub-machine gun. I entered the Dark Zone numerous times from checkpoints in Dark Zone 1, Dark Zone 3, Dark Zone 5, and Dark Zone 6. Each time I was in the DZ 201+ bracket. Placing my gun and holster in the stash did not change which bracket I was assigned to.
