Vulshok Battlegear puts +2/+2 on a creature for two mana equipped, which is a reasonable rate, but the 4-mana equip cost makes it punishing to move — you pay six total mana the first time you attach it. There are almost always better options at this price point, and most competitive lists won't bother.

In Commander, Vulshok Battlegear sits at the bottom of the equipment pile — the equip cost is too steep to reattach efficiently, and the stat boost alone doesn't close games at a 100-card table. Pauper is the one format where it earns a second look, since the card pool is shallow enough that a clean +2/+2 body buff has more relative value. In Legacy, Modern, and Vintage it's outclassed by equipment that costs less to move or provides utility beyond raw stats — Vulshok Battlegear does nothing except make a creature bigger.
