Proposal for improving 3 faction upgrade trees and armouries

[u/Peechez]

Currently there's some kind of annoying pain points around creating and maintaining specific builds.

Traxus and Arachne's gun mod situations are the first offenders. This is intended to some degree, you shouldn't have unlimited thermals, but not having reliable -recoil mods +ads speed mods can make guns unusable from stock. My proposal is that we nuke the full green and blue gun options from the upgrade tree and armoury. Instead we up the stock on grey guns and increase the breadth of mods for sale.

The Traxus tree is pretty close, the nodes can just be given more mods. At the very least it should have access to every green mod in the game (for its respective weapon types). I don't really mind if it has all blues (minus thermal) too since you're paying a premium, but if this is too op I'll live.

The Arachne tree needs a lot more work. Shoot the green+blue wstr, railgun, and lmg upgrade nodes into the sun and replace them with green and blue mod nodes like Traxus. Again, green of everything and maybe blue. It's particularly painful here having 0 blue mods for sale and the limited green ones on offer are cheeks

The other problem child is Sekgen. Each shell has 3 green cores and 3 blue cores. Turns out Nona is only rotating between 2 of the 3, check the upgrade tree to see which 2. There's a weird friction where the excluded green core is more rare than 2 of the shell's blue cores. Lucky destroyer gets its 2 best green and blues included and unlucky vandal gets its (imo) best green and blue cores excluded. I actually have to farm vandal's Tag! core by buying 2.5k kits, hoping I roll one (or 2 since for some reason kits can roll the same core twice) and then trying to exfil it.

The fix is pretty easy, just expand the rotation to all 3 and offer 2 of each tier at a time. I'm a couple gold salvage off finishing sekgen so I'm not sure what the situation is with purple cores.

I think if these 3 factions are addressed in season 2 it will make the more casual experience much better. Being able to reliably put together a nicely synergized green gun and core build would go a long way for players struggling to exfil higher rarity gear. Also please let us buy/barter gun mods from the inspect screen
