I love it now, everything feels punchy because you're not gated around finding new weapons every level. I'm sticking almost exclusively with the iconics that can be upgraded, but as far as I can tell the only difference between generic weapons is the tier they're in, the damage appears to be the same no matter what level you find the weapon at. Some other changes:
just explain this all in more detail please
So pre 2.0, all the weapons, armor, cyberware, etc. had a level assigned to them in addition to the rarity that determined how big the numbers were, and it forced you to go through your vendor trash each time on the off chance that the numbers were better on any particular weapon you found. Now, every weapon of a particular type has the same parameters depending on rarity tier (white through gold) so if you have a higher tier of the same weapon, it's explicitly, if marginally better, and this keeps you from having to sort through 20-odd weapons every time you go sell, which drastically speeds up the process. Even more so if you stick with the unique iconic weapons, which can be upgraded with materials up to tier 5.
As a side-effect of this, the marginal increases can't boost the legendary item's damage that much higher than the common rarity, so even the most common weapons still deal adequate damage, so enemies aren't spongy like they used to be.
this is the answer i was looking for / hoping for, thank fucking god holy shit. so theres ten levels but the levels arent that different from one another if i understand right
Correct, and you're more likely to get higher rarity tiers as you level.
when was this change implemented!? is this like the combat rebalance mod?
I assume it's all part of 2.0, released last week. If you own CP2077 you have it, it's separate from the DLC.
well have you played befkee then and did it work like that back then?
I did, right around release date, and all the equipment was a lot more vendor trashy - I think it was built directly on Witcher 3 code, with items having leveled attributes and some having level requirements the same way that game handled equipment.
so when was this change implemented roughly, i cant see anything online about it
wait so what does tier determine weapon wise now and how does combat feel
Each tier gives a marginal improvement over the last, but as far as I can tell there's only ten tiers (Five colors, each with a normal and '+' tier.) I can say combat feels pretty good with melee weapons, pistols/revolvers, shotguns, and grenades. I haven't tried the other weapons a whole lot but I imagine they feel just as good. Only thing that's a little weak maybe is Quickhacks, but even then I've got a few that will kill mooks outright.
could you send me where you copy and pasted this from
Trust me, you don't want to be in my brain.
Seriously though, this is all my opinion/interpretation of how the game plays now vs in 2020.
wait so that wasnt a copy paste, is there no article or yt video documenting this
I mean if you check the steam page you'll probably get as much from the discussions.
