Basically getting mostly stealth kills for most of the game until i unlocked level 3 work bench meant i could get my prefered weapon and upgrade it a lot right away. My silenced Shotgun is currently sitting at 157 upgrades from Ethanol, Components, Titanium bars, and Circuits.
Part of my problem is that instead of just being able to farm materials through a prefered method i am forced to get certain things a certain way. This means for Ethanol i have to keep scavenging outpost(which is fine, i'd mainly farm this way if i could) because supply drops give a pathetic amount, do expeditions for Circuits(because i also get Titanium and Components), and i still have to hunt because less Circuits are used to upgrade than Components and Titanium.
Why not make it so players simply have the option to farm how we want whether that be Outpost, hunting, expeditions, or a combination(at the players choice). Being able to change things up once in a while is nice, being forced to do it if we want to upgrade is simply lame in my opinion. Since 99% of Elite weapons and the rank 3 Rocket Launcher cost Ethanol to upgrade i'm probably never going to use any more of my Duct Tape, Springs, Gears, Carbon Fiber, Blasting Caps, Black Powder, or Solvent now that i have all the challenges done. in my opinion Expeditions should give the most, followed by Outpost, and hunting should give the least rewards but the player should be able to farm through one method to upgrade elite weapons
Being able to farm multiple ways is great, needing to farm multiple ways for upgrades is not in my opinion
At least let players trade materials they aren't using to an NPC even if it's at only like gaining ten at the cost of a thousand. Better yet, maybe let players trade materials with each other?
in my opinion multiple material types means players should be able to upgrade multiple weapons without having to choose, unfortunately at the elite level most things cost Ethanol and Circuits as well as two other material types. Because of this i am stuck with an abundance of material types i'll never get to use
i hope crafting is in the next game but hopefully it will be done in a much better way than New Dawn
