So, I've been using this tech rifle called Widow Maker for quite a while now. I've upgraded it many times. It's only Epic level, but I was pretty impressed with the DPS I was getting, because I was just destroying gangs with it. Then I saw this fucker's video who tweaked out the gun with crit damage mods and other crit addition stacking stuff to end up with a million damage per shot. Basically one shot kill any enemy in the game... through walls...
I've got 3 other Legendary level machine guns, with like 3-7 weapon mod slots. But still, Widow Maker still just totally obliterates any damage I can get from any other gun. Including Skippy or Fenrir. Like easily over 100+ damage compared to others. Fenrir was super fun due to the rate or the enemy bursting into flames while shooting them. But Widow Maker is just on another level. That's still without being charged up. Being a tech weapon, you can seriously charge it up quickly for unstoppable damage. Put a good scope on it, and it serves as a sniper rifle that uses rifle ammo. [Reply]
DR12 Quasar with the Feedback Circuit pretty much keeps you max health as long as you can actually hit enemies. Might need to try Widowmaker out and see if each bullet counts as its own proc for that. The Satara shotgun does and it's just as ridiculous but you have to be sort of close to use it. [Reply]
my biggest bitch at this point is all the randomized armor loot. In a genre where the rule of cool is king, you're kinda stuck dressing like a fucking moron half the time because the way loot is leveled.
I absolutely refuse to wear any headgear because it all looks absolutely ridiculous. I am continuously wearing gear that sucks because it looks better. And yes I realize it is a first person game.
They should have let you dress with whatever you think looks cool, and handled the armor in mod slots. They kinda already have that in place but just screwed it up. I find a cool looking jacket, but it's a common drop with no mod slots, so I can't even beef it up with mods. Can't remove mods either unless you dump 16 points into tech, which i have built another character to do exactly that because it would piss me off to basically have to throw away legendary mods that are hard to replace.
I don't know why so many games get this wrong. People want to make their character look how they want, to look like a biker or a ninja or a fucking clown, or whatever, and game devs just keep fucking churning out random World of Warcraft loot tables. [Reply]
Witcher 3 had what was known as witcher armor, and there were 5 different levels to each of them, ranging from basic to grandmaster. You'd get the basic between levels 10 to 20 and every 7 or so levels you could go and get a quest to get the next set of crafting diagrams and upgrade your armor. Not sure why something like that isn't in the game. [Reply]

I'm sure things like that will be added in free DLCs in the future. [Reply]
As of a day or so ago the CDPR website still had dlc listed as coming "early 2021". So it's possible we're going to see something other than bugfixes in the next couple months. [Reply]
LOL, I just wear whatever gives me the best armor numbers. If I look like a homo cowboy Cam Newton ninja, then so be it... Part of the charm... [Reply]
When you're doing that mission, really look around in the brain dance section. It's one of the creepiest and most unsettling things I've seen in this game.
