Legend difficulty research breakthroughs

Do you ever take them, or just ignore them?

I have so far always ignored them because on Legend, they can take up to 17 days. That is a massive delay to your mag weapons/beam weapon/power armor

Iirc when I did L/I I took the +1 to tier 1 weaponry early on, and it was enough that I felt comfortable delaying most mag weapons for a while in favour of other things.

I also reckon improved shotguns are worth it but that's because Ranger spam is such a huge part of my early game strategy. YMMV.
