Small progression/difficulty issues

[Chezter64]

This might just be me, but i feel like the game's progression is a bit slow and counter-intuitive at times, especially when it comes to trying out new weapons, why would i spend my loot on this new weapon that takes getting used to if it's gonna be weaker than the one i have that's currently upgraded? especially when i could spend said currency on this weapon i already know works fine enough? it's just more grinding, and considering this game is pretty tough, taking risks isn't something everyone is gonna wanna do. I have only played in singleplayer mode so far, and only for 5 hours in total. (Owlitzer is quite a difficulty spike too) Maybe i'm just having skill issues, but i feel like the difficulty makes trying new options almost too scary.

It is kinda like that. Not only you spend resources to unlock new weapon types but the same resources to unlock better variants of the weapon which are only better after you upgrade those as well. It`s a bit of grinding especially for the resources from the rare creatures needed for upgrades.
