    But I don’t like the loot goblining. Constant hunt for ever higher damage numbers.

    I honestly don’t know how people play this game. Every 12 seconds coming across new gear. Can’t do it.

      It’s not like I need to do the math to figure out which gun is better and why. Find something with green arrows? Hold E to equip it immediately. If I use it for a bit and dislike it I’ll just swap back to what I was using before and mark it as junk so I sell it next time I buy ammo or fill my inventory.

        It’s a combination of a huge variety of attributes and an endless supply. I just get anxiety about walking past a super powerful weapon or dropping it in exchange for something else without realizing it.

          If it ain’t a purple I can basically guarantee it’s shit. Just keep the rarity order in mind, and you can generally assume anything that’s less rare than what you have is also worse. One of the load screens in BL1 or BL2 said When Grandma Burps Patrick Obeys- White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. Got absolutely burnt into my brain.

          But hey, if it’s stressful fair enough. I think they’re fun games, but nothing is for everyone.

      It didn’t used to be like that and they actually mentioned in the deep dive that they’re getting back to the way it was before. Like the point of the game is loot goblining, but they’ve promised not to inundate the player with legendary weapons every twelve seconds so that you actually have time to savor the weapons you get between good drops.
