Pre-upgraded Dominator suit worth it?
I am looking at a Dominator lvl 3 with Improved Battery Capacity and Extra Backpack for 18.75 million.

I have been working on trying to upgrade my Maverick to the extra backpack and it feels like it is taking forever. If this was a Maverick with those upgrades I'd take it, but I cannot envision a scenario where I need those upgrades on a Dominator?

Any reason to pull the trigger on this?

its worth it, it saves you a lot of grinding and time to get to lvl 3!

If I see upgraded suits I buy them I have quite a collection now with all kinds of features like extra battery pack and night vision

Thanks for the input. What is the highest upgraded suit level you can purchase in the store?

Personally i wouldn't bother with a dominator with extra backpack capacity. The dom suit is for combat. You might want extra capacity on a Maverick, not a Dom.

A pre-upgraded weapon or suit is always better to buy than to grind for it.

...but, it should fit.

A Dominator suit with "extra backpack capacity" isn´t worth to buy.
Would be the same if you´ll find an Artemis suit with "extra ammo capacity" somewhere later. -> also a waste :awswvara:

Not a good idea.
Extra backpack capacity bouble existing capacity of the suit.
BACKPACK DATA CAPACITY+100%
BACKPACK COMPONENT CAPACITY+100%
BACKPACK ITEM CAPACITY+100%
Dominator has very small backpack, even if you doube it it will be smaller than basic Maverik without upgrades.
Dominator:
Base -> upgraded Item 5 -> 10 Component 10 -> 20 Data 10 -> 20
Maverick:
base -> upgraded Item 15 -> 30 Component 30 -> 60(!!!) Data 10 -> 20

Nope, you can't take extra backpack off, you will not want that thing.

yes. Farming for grade 3 saves you a lot of time. Especially when we are talking suits as you can quickly get several grade 3 suits.

With weapons you can be unlucky and spend dozens of hours not getting a specific weapon at grade 3. In that chase just farming materials and upgrading a grade2 or even grade1 would have been faster but you cant know beforehand.
I'd recommend to build up a good stock of everything grade 3 and if you happen to miss a single weapon that you want but got enough of everything else already its probably best to just upgrade that one thing.

As others have said, not great features for a Dominator suit. Probably not worth it IMHO
