Crafting in this is kinda weak?

Um. Crafting comes with augment slots. Your Black Widow could have +12-15% damage bonus, or +20-25% recharge speed bonus, +2 extra mod slods, or if you want fancy augments, conversion of your health to ammo (i.e. skips reload animation).

Your complaint isn't so much about crafting as much as it is about the fact that the only gun you like is the Black Widow.

Not that crafting doesn't need some help. Almost all of the projectile modifying crafts ruin the gun.

I thought I just wasn't understanding something about the augment system, but yeah every time I added something that changed the projectile it made the gun deal abysmal damage. My Dhan Shotgun would go from a reliable two shot kill to the entire spare ammo the gun could carry for 1/4th of an enemy's health bar.

It wouldn't be so bad if the companions had more interesting gear. Liam and Cora look like they're in perpetual starter gear, and my Ryder's latest Pathfinder armor kinda makes them look weak, then there's Jaal and Peebee. I really wish Jaal could wear armor similarly to the Angaran Insurgent in multiplayer.



In any case, I find myself not crafting as often simply because it's basically single-serve, whereas in Inquisition I was constantly burning through my materials making armor and weapons for companions as the game progressed.
