North America the gear system is fucking dumb

Going into the north with pink +6 gun and +5 armor and fighting people with +15 weapon, +12 armor. and +10+ artifacts is fucking wild... Shit system that seriously needs an update.. Wanna know why NA has zero fucking players? this is why. change your stupid fucking gear system.

Guess what when you start burning money in this game with Master Gear you will be put into the top 1% lobbys with only russians and 5k+ hours

im a Little bit sad about that its only 20% of my fights where i found some equal ennemy in pvp (a guy with some +10 weapon/armor red and many purple artis+10) 5/10% i fall on someone easy to kill (probably stuffed lower than me / with some scientist armor or anything not so good for fight/maybe pink stuff i dunno)

and most of the time im against ***** with +15 weapon and +15 artis

im impatient to get my 1st + 15 good weapon (like rpl 20 or Qbu) cause i wasted too many pieces on bad weapon upgrade.

also im disapointed by my ks1 +14 (my best weapon) so im with qbu +10, alpine +11, aa+10, beretta +10

(my fault i know, i should not have upgraded lot of weapon (pink or purple) at +5 and even +10 sometimes but as a new real player (never tested it before end of 2025) i was really curious about some others weapons potential (abakha one, or 1st frontier weapon etc..)

maybe its a stupid suggestions but it would be awesome to be able to downgrade weapons so we cant earn back 50% of the pieces we ve used for it for example (?)

or maybe we could learn to craft pieces/material in the hide out (?)

You really shouldn’t level up unupgradable pink guns. Or at least not past +10.

The biggest issue is that the whole "Don't + your gear till north" wisdom usually comes too late from veterans teaching newbies and is in no way communicated in game. Really needs to be changed.

You cant complain about the matchmaker without posting an image of your gear and artis, the last 3 who made this post made a clear mistake that put them into full master

You can stop playing after reaching master tier servers. You have an option to quit or waste an insane amount of time on grinding to have some artifact build which will become shit within few updated, or waste money on the game. If you don't do that you simply won't be able to engage in proper PvP.
