The gearing system for Darktide is at best mediocre. I get that RNG is a known part of games especially when it comes to loot and gear, but with the rewards still being hard to come by, wouldn’t a currency conversion system be favourable?
At endgame (level 30) all you are after is gear to give you a better chance of success at the higher difficulty. Ordo Dockets become somewhat null and void since you probably have usuable gear that you simply want to enhance with the crafting system. Diamantine seems to be plentiful right now and should remain unchanged. Plasteel is scarce.
Currency conversion would take some of that burden away from having good RNG.
But it has to be universal. Ordo dockets into plasteel/diamantine. Diamantine into Ordo dockets/plasteel and Plasteel into ordo dockets/diamantine.
Let the players decide where they want to put their currency.
Would help with leveling and also at endgame
