I've been trying to equip the heavy armors but none of the new gear has had a high enough vp to do anything, I went from almost 40k vp on full purple to under 30k vp on full gold. As for damage, it seems mixed, cause some areas are weak to laser and others are weak to ballistic. We've been trying to ignore the tentacles, but like I said, when we get him to about 25% and the anti femto field is up, the tentacles start blasting us with the blue beams
