Did they fix the balance issues? Around launch it seemed like there were quite a few options that were just worse with no benefits (talking about pve only here, I do not recognize pvp as a legitimate game mode).
Coming back from launch a lot of stuff including the base gear you start with feels much more powerful. Overall the game feels a fair bit easier and I do a lot more damage. Maybe I was just really bad at release but i seem to be breezing through the game with whatever hodge podge mech i throw together. Before it kinda felt like gatlings and shotguns outclassed everything.
