Goes hard tbh.

Just don't listen to the reddit hive mind about the 'unplayable state of the game' and you'll have a good time.

This game can be fun. Very fun. Even more fun if you have friends to play this game with.

However, I must warn new players against the mountain of content locked behind DLC, it is possible to make viable builds and weapons with the base game itself, but let's be honest, it always sucks when you see other player running around with cool guns and gadgets that you will have to pay for.

This game is like being in an abusive relationsip. After a while you will hate it. Some time later, you will come back, have a great time and completely forget why you left. Rinse and repeat.

My favourite weapon pack so far.

- The Lebensauger .308 is a great sniper rifle, as a matter of fact, it renders the Rattlesnake obsolete. The Lebensauger deals more damage, has a higher rate of fire and stability, and you can even get it more concealed than the Rattlesnake.

- The Kross Vertex is a good smg, tough not my favourite. With a 1200 rpm fire rate, it is better treated like a rifle, going for small bursts aimed for the head, while when i use a smg i prefer a pray-and-spray model. However, it still has a quick reload and a large ammo pool of 120 rounds (which will disappear in no time if you spray the Kross Vertex)

- The pistol crossbow is more of a toy for me than an actual weapon. A cool novelty for stealth, but i still prefer a suppressed Judge, so I can knock back guards into comfortable spots, or even a good old fashioned pistol with a suppressor, simply because I have a chance to take on alerted Murky guards, while with the crossbow you have only one shot, that may not kill. Not a problem when you are in point blank range, but a bigger one when at a larger distance. Moreover, you can get the pistol crossbow only to 28 concealment, with a base of 26.
Additionally, the bolts from the crossbow fall down much quicker than from the Plansrider bow. Makes it even harder to use in combat.

- The shurikens are actually quite usefull outside stealth, tough on DW i would prefer a molotov or nades. The shurikens are poisoned, an the poison works quite well on specials (except for the bulldoser, for obvious reasons), making them vomit much faster than form poisoned arrows or bolts. I managed to stop a charging cloaker with it once. If it's not enough, you can pick your shurikens up after you throw them. Usefull as hell.

Once again: This is my favourite weapon pack so far.
