Underwehlming BP upgrades.

Does upgrading weapons BPs feel underwhelming to anyone else? All weapon bps do is increase the damage. Which is great if you're using a Sharp / Bull / Fastgunner / Or perish the thought a fortress gunner build. But it means that the avatar elements have no driving desire to really upgrade their guns for marginal increases in damage.

I feel they should move the upgrades towards leaning into the weapons special abilities. More proc chance more crit etc. Rather than just generic small increases to bullet damage.

Elemental damage works off Psi. Upgrading BPs also boosts Psi.

It doesn't make elemental weapons any less underwhelming in the current builds, but most of that is because elements themselves kinda suck. Most weapon damage is from the bullet, with element being damage over time or AoE. It doesn't help that some bosses are immune to elemental damage, that 2/3 of the weapons don't reliably proc, that fire causes lag, and a few where you're fighting aginst the mechanics of the weapon.

Some of those things will be fixed in time. What I am saying is upgrading weapon bps isn't very exciting with just damage increases. And i don't believe weapon bps even have psi rating on them at least not clearly stated.
