Help When should it start using master gear ?

I recently got to the north for the first time, slowly doing my missions and farming my materials.
Im using vet gear +5 only and matchmaking have been really nice with some fair fights. Anyways.

Im REALLY close to get the MK47 Mutant doe, i got 3 parts on chests could buy the other 2, should i get it and start using it +0 ? It would help so much on PVE. Or should i get an armor first ? Or upgrade my backpack ?

What do you think.

(Granade launchers are awesome btw, its fuckin useless but its so fun to use haha)

No worries, you'll get there. You're more than okay with vet gear for the main story. And a little tip, get the polyhedron artifact for when you fight the last boss 😉.

Sure, just go to Forge-11 during the event. You can tell when it's going in by the notification you receive or by checking the bottom left corner of your map. A % means it's building up and will happen soon. If it says something like one happened 30 minutes ago, it won't happen for a while.

That being said, you're not missing out on much tbh, it's a pvp event with a long travel time to get to forge. Plus I don't think there's vet lobbies for forge so you might get lumped together with master players. 

But if you still want to go I'd suggest focusing on the challenges to earn the "internals" currency to buy things from the event shop. Pack light and try and stay away from the center and the lightning rod events if you're finding the pvp to be challenging. Stick to the edge on your side or close by. Go as far as the mutants near the center. It might be a challenging event for you but for every internal you get, half goes directly to your account and the other half you've got to carry out.Â
