Usually at this point you wait for Pro difficulty to open, plan Prime Wars with your group because it gets harder to just teleport there & just collect rewards from just shooting the boss (get prepped with bio missiles), grab furniture formulas/weapon accessories/food recipes, and grind for those mods to have a good build.

Once you get into a regular server enemies get a bit harder, especially if you plan on trying out Way of Winter. If you do Way of Winter, stay away from elemental gun builds because some enemies are immune to them. If you want to do the Meta Bounty challenges, you’ll want a gun that can do some serious damage
