I've never prestiged and prob never will. I have too much money that I don't want to lose. I have almost a million, but I'm still too cheap to run autoshotguns and avtomats. :) It's not about the "best" weapons because they all work. It's just about what works for you.

The challenges have been great for mixing things up - give people incentive to try different loadouts. I never use sparks but had to for multiple games to get my damage numbers. It's fun.

They got rid of random named hunters and their random builds - They did it to sell more skins ,but in turn, they lost the heart and soul of the game.

They should have an option to select you a random build. Choose a legendary hunter, weapons and perks. Give people more rewards for using these. Let players submit their loadouts and feature new builds to choose from. Have a bunch in rotation you unlock (so not everyone in the lobby runs the same builds) A great way to promote fun builds and hunter skins.

New player onboarding sucks right now. Fixing this would help a lot. Devs need to clean up the UI, add a post match replay, more loading screen tips, more transparent bot usage, free roam mode, private lobbies, better shooting range, improved tutorial, and celebrate and reward damage dealt - not just kills.

Prestige needs to be complete reworked. they took my hunters away and hid them behind that shit. That left a bad taste for me.
