    Prestige weapons almost necessity

    Basically what I mean is, if you want some of the higher spec weapons earlyish in the game, you have to grind enough cash to buy prestige versions of them. My 2 examples are the m79 grenade launcher and the sa50 snipe rifle(just bought the free state) The base models need 6 levels of resistance before you can buy them in the shops which from what i can tell is 2 completed regions? I am still quite early in the game, working through level 2 resistance in Johns region. I don't like the idea of being 2 thirds through the main story before getting decent weapons. Are they likely to show up in enemy hands first to unlock them for free?

    prestige are nothing but re-skins, had to re-read your post, yes to get the launcher earlier you have to buy prestige launcher, but after hunting by the wing-suit marker eastern part of map, bison spawn so much you can have every prestige in 30 minutes lol

    Yes i know, but if I wanted an sa-50 without having to complete 2 thirds of the story, then I have to buy the re skin version.
    However, thanks for the hunting tip. I,'ll get straight on that later 👍

    Good to know theres a decent cash farm spot. I might even search for a few others and report back. I have an M60 now and the sa-50 so i should be able to bring down a T-Rex
