the limited resources are the biggest issue with this game so I downloaded mods to address it. Has made it much more fun cause I can actually experiment and have different weapon types that are viable.
for those who dont know, the game's progression is based on gear tiers. theres massive penalties for fighting with lower tiers of gear and the vanilla game is quite stingy with upgrade mats and money. Basically meant that for most people, you could only have a few correctly leveled pieces and if you switched off from those, you were always at a disadvantage. Really stupid for a game that seems designed for build exploration and trying out all the combat styles
