Legendary Resource grind is a huge flaw

[Del]

Grinding legendary resources needs to be vastly improved in future titles, trying to upgrade legendary gear is a gigantic chore and needs to be improved in the threequel. It feels like im grinding resources in an online game.

[Black Hole]

There are ways to shorten the length of time required but yeah the time needed invested to fully upgrade legendary gear is rather ridiculous .

[GoldenOuroboros]

Agreed, should have been a bit easier for the first few upgrades, machine cores and 1 high end piece from a machine, not multiple. Doing my head in a bit flipping backwards and forwards between the same few sites....

you can also change the game difficulty to custom and enable easy loot to get those parts after a kill no matter if you broke them off or not

Detachable parts are kinda manageable with Precision Tear Arrows, but circulators, primary nerves and apex hearts... oh my, oh my, the PAIN.

[St Mayhem]

yeah man, apex hearts... tried obtain one from tremortusk, killed maybe 12 of them, still no heart lol

You can't change difficulty if you started on ultra hard, which is incredibly stupid as the difficulty instead of being fun for half the game becomes an obnoxious cancerous grind fest later on where the most efficient strategy is to just sit outside machines small allowed roaming range and shoot it for 30 minutes.
Its also completely irrelevant as parts can be torn off no problem, nobody is saying they are too hard to tare off, its the amount of enemies you need to kill to get enough parts that is the problem. Easy loot does not increase the amount of loot you get, assuming you tare off the parts you need anyway.
If I recall correctly you need to kill like 10+ slitherfangs alone to upgrade like 2 legendary items. It becomes extremely obnoxious when it takes like 20 minutes to do each one on max difficulty if you're trying to tare off all the loot canisters for that 10% primary nerve chance.

I've just stopped caring, I think I got most of my pouches upgraded to the second or third level, but I haven't looked at that page in a while. Even the skill points sit unused until I notice that I have like 15 sitting unused. I don't know if I just played the first game differently, but I remember the need to use traps and stuff a lot more - in this I just bruteforce most encounters and haven't ran into much trouble.

I just found out about Easy Loot. you have to switch the difficulty to Custom and then the option for easy loot will appear.

That doesn't change the amount of loot, it just makes it so you don't have to use tear damage on specific parts.

I just gave up upgrading at all, seeing I have to down X this heavy machine and X that on repeat. I mean... 10 tusks on the mammoth machine, and so on... it just does not motivate me to keep going to upgrade. When I see the Apex Slaughterspine on the list I already gave up that gear for upgrading
