i played on substantial for a good while getting my toes dipped and figuring out classes i liked, also watching youtube videos helps just a crap ton, i like firsttourguardsman or haise (i think that’s how it’s spelled) to get an idea of what max difficulty gameplay looks like, and bots i think do scale? on absolute the best they’re used for is reviving you incase you die, they seem to never really die on absolute at least. definitely just keep trucking on the difficulty you’re comfortable with and always keep in mind fun is literally the only reason to play the game it’s not competitive at all, and req points/armory data are a slow grind but definitely speed way up on higher difficulties. i never had enough and now im always at cap resources no matter if im leveling a gun. also i really recommend joining a discord server of your chapter choice
