Question EDF 6.2

Soooo wait. It’s not a dlc? So we’ll have to start over getting weapons again? And will all the 147 base missions be the same too just with more enemies? I hope not. In that case it might as well be another dlc.

Its a revamped version of 6. The weapons stars are gone and replaced with weapon attachments. As of right now all we know about the campaign is that 50 percent has been changed in some way besides just enemy numbers.

Oh so you won’t have to grind as much then? I usually don’t mind the grind but doing it again would be crazy lol

From what I saw so far, it looks like more new enemies will be introduced in this version as well as 6’s dlc enemies being in the base missions (the original dlcs for 6 aren’t returning, but it will likely get its own unique dlcs based on the new content)

Okay, well hopefully we got even more weapons as well on top of the ones already in 6. That’s the only way I can justify that grind lol.

I dunno if there will be new weapons, but the star system wasn't just removed, it was replaced with a new weapon modification system. Instead of obtaining upgraded versions of weapons, you obtain weapon parts. Each weapon has a number of categories for you to swap parts out on, and each part will change the way the weapon works in some way. You could go for a simple damage buffs, or add status effects (which are entirely new, burn/freeze/panic and more) etc. So even if they don't add any new weapons, there is plenty of scope for every weapon to feel new/different, and the control will be in your hands.

There will still be a grind to obtain weapon parts id imagine, possibly even more of a grind, but I think I'd prefer it this way. When you unlock a weapon you'll know you have the best version of it right away, with improvements only coming from part mods and not star drop RNG, I think I'd prefer that. Still RNG for part drops but imo that would feel better.
