i agree it serves the purpose. you click “buy” and sometimes you get your perfect stats on the 3rd try, sometimes at the 20th (as happened to me with my ganger).
it’s nevertheless moronic. this weapon randomizer and the hunt for curios are leftovers of that terrible system that frustrated us for almost 2 years. i can only assume that it was the quick solution to leave the random weapon generator in place, now that we can build and empower anything.
yes, it’s way easier and quicker to level up now, it can be done in a day or two. but seriously, is it that hard to get rid of this nonsense completely and make 5 sliders instead so everyone can configure their weapon, and mobility isn’t almost always dumped as default. and let us empower curios just like weapons, not camp the shop like it’s 2023.
