i don’t see why people complain about crafting it’s a fun system. it’s good. it’s fine. it’s fine. autojock is a fun achievement to go for im having fun going to all vendors to buy all the crafting supplies to craft weapons to unload at all the drop points. this is fun. it’s fine.

Not really, all the best blueprints have static spawn positions so you can be crafting endgame loot in a matter of hours on a new character very easily, as opposed to scrubs who ignore crafting who need to progress to certain story missions to get the good guns. My problem with crafting is just that’s it’s weirdly limited. I should be able to craft every item in the game, if I find a mod I should be able to craft that mod. I found one loving reload speed mod in my whole 90 hour playthrough, I would have crafted like 50 of those!

Are you sure that this is still true in 1.5?

I like the rng, and not knowing what resources you'll get on a certain playthrough, and having to play around that. It's definitely frustrating for those not coming towards the game with an RPG perspective, expecting everything to be available on a character with no compromises. Disassembling system is great, because it motivates me to pick up everything for components, which can be used to craft everything from clothing to ammo.

It’s just weird that some mods are craftable and some aren’t, and the game doesn’t do anything to distinguish them. So I used mods freely assuming I’d be able to make more, and then I couldn’t, and spent hours and hours looking for blueprints that don’t exist.

There's crafting as in making items, getting the resources needed to craft those items, etc. Then there's the capital-c Crafting tree which locks you out of small-c crafting of items. People like/dislike either or both. I dislike Crafting but would be fine with crafting if the loot system in the game wasn't so bad, rendering crafting boring too. So I avoid both, other than to craft uniques/mods in a few cases.

Yeah, Scrapper is a good perk now if I am correct about not being able to disassemble junk into components manually in 1.5. There are some youtube guides being made post-1.5 still saying that scrapper is a useless perk. But if I'm correct, then said guides are wrong, and Scrapper gives you way more components without the drawback of destroying those expensive jewelry.

The weapon system in this game being tied to your leveling and from there the loot drops of enemies that are also leveled with you (to a limit) is one of its weakest points. Each bump in level gets you weapon drops that are slightly better than the last level, just like much of the skill tree gives you small increments in power. You can completely ignore everything you pick up unless you don't already have one of that type. Upgrade what you have every 5-10 levels and you're fine. The game actively punishes keeping a weapon upgraded through the run by increasing the cost quadratically based on number of upgrades, trying to force you to ditch weapons and use of the exact same clones you picked up - only because the clone hasn't been upgraded yet and will be cheaper to upgrade. It's a really poorly designed weapon/loot system when you're using ridiculously high upgrade costs to force you to even look at the otherwise same weapons you're picking up. The exceptions to the weapon loot treadmill are the uniques, which are given to you as recipes to get you to invest heavily in the Crafting tree. But they're also the only reason to really invest in it, though some folks enjoy using that tree for money - a fine choice, though I personally prefer running missions including NCPD over crafting just to make money. I prefer combat as a source of money personally. I really wish the game had unleveled weapons by default with progression being gated by the difficulty of getting higher-powered ammo in sufficient quantities as in a game like STALKER. That there's a single rifle ammo type shared by every rifle type weapon in this game means the only gating is through level, which is boring.

Levelled loot is always bad. It was bad in Mass Effect 1, it was bad in Skyrim, it was downright awful in Mass Effect Andromeda, and it's bad here. At least CP2077 gave you a way to augment Iconic items that become obsolete, but skill / perk points are already tight enough. Meanwhile I found a random Quasar around level 12 that could shred anything in the game right through to the secret ending.

The other reason to look at the weapons you pick up is the very weak inventory system which forces you to sell each weapon one by one, no option to even sort by model. You can't even take off attachments and mods without equipping the trash you're picking up. Once you've used a mod like Inventory Maid to mass sell all that trash, unequipping attachments automatically, the shallowness of the loot system is even more apparent. It's mostly just busy work, no real rewards once you get the first weapon of each model. v1ld fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Apr 10, 2022 |

I think they were going for a Borderlands-style system, where you use the best of what you find for a few levels until you find something better. They probably wanted to extend this temporary weapon idea into crafted gear as well, which is why upgrading costs are not constant. Maybe it doesn't work as well here for most people because Borderlands is a looter-shooter with constant action and killing, and swapping weapons frequently due to ammo anyway. Weapons in that game are seen as temporary, at least until end-game. Cyberpunk is less of a run-and-gun style, so people tend to not see their weapons as temporary. They approach it with the mindset that they want to use a specific weapon for the entire game, something that this system wasn't originally designed for.

The other difference with Borderlands is there's a much larger variation in gun feel than we have here. Agree with you that's probably what they wanted. The RNG gun variation is also a bit at odds with the immersive sim feel the game has elsewhere.
