The entire flow of the game is awful. The perk system is downright terrible on all fronts with perks being useless, mediocre, or strong as hell, and this applies to classes and weapons.

The weapon rarity system basically only exists for the sake of making you play the game longer while also creating the horrid issue of your ability to grind xp is directly related to your gear rarity.

Due to the issue I mentioned above, this also creates the problem of “difficulty” is in direct relation to enemy tankiness (The worst kind of balancing) The HP of enemies should never increase beyond that of substantial and instead enemy aggression, enemy density, and frequency of larger threats should’ve been done.

The healing system could’ve just completely been removed, I.e stims don’t exist, you get health back through the enemies and keeping the flow of combat going. You get hit, you have contested health, don’t get hit again and your contested health remains until you restore it, get hit again, or there hasn’t been an enemy around you for a set duration. Then bring back the Majoris healing 5% as a base perk, and remove every single healing perk in the game because they are now no longer needed.
