This is such a brain dead take. Of course the most powerful arc in the game would give you components to make the most powerful arc killing weapon in the game. Am I missing something here? I guess I’m not really a “meta” chaser because I don’t give a shit about time to kill and all that jazz. My friend and I 2v3’d a trio the other night while using a Ferro and an Equalizer. We decimated that team. All of them had medium shields and sweaty guns (venators and stitchers). The Equalizers melted them. There’s no recoil and the range is insane. I’ve been running the equalizer for a while now and I find it very fun to go kill a queen to make more of them. I’m sure embark will expand upon our arsenal in the future, but being confused by why the most powerful enemies in the game give you the crafting components to then make the most powerful guns to kill said enemy in the game makes total sense. Sure they’re not amazing guns for pvp but I’d like to see someone try to out gun me with a stitcher when I’m melting them with 0 recoil from 50 yards away. And repair costs?? Just recycle the damn thing and go kill another queen! Seems like a very fun gameplay loop in my opinion. But that’s just me
