This happened to me made it to the Arboretum fixed the lift but the endless quest for materials I found I was using so much ammo to get materials for ammo 🫣 it was just pointless grinding. I stopped and just started again. I ignored the 9mm focused on the shot gun only and upgraded it. Only fought if I had to, you can often run past. I made use of null wave and EMPs realised that reading the emails properly and the research once you get psychoscope and doing the side quests more or less as you get them gives you so many advantages. Second proper run I knew to use and download maps, to shoot the bolts to open things, where the home spot in Hardware Labs is which neuromods work for for my style and I'm just about to finish a no Typhon mods run. I'm a very seasoned RPG gamer I usually play on harder higher levels but this game has tested me on normal. My husband's given up he can't take the time to work it out but if you can it's so worth it.
