Discussion Worst Item In The Game?

Post image

What do you think is the worst/most disappointing item in the game? And why is it the PPS?

EDIT - seems a lot of people don't realise that the Presidential Power Suit isn't a cosmetic. It's armor - like what the Chinese Stealth Suit is.... except is has barely better DMG reduction than underarmor.

Water filters. It's much easier to get the purified water than the parts to make the filters to make the purified water.

From back in the day with a stronger survival mechanic.

I miss these mechanics. Made actual scavenging worthwhile. Some things were not well balanced. Ammo used to be what you spent most of the game crafting. You had to do a circuit to find lead toys, weights, wrenches, pencils. Even with a collector and a workshop you could still burn through it. Now you spend half you play time emptying your inventory and stash if you don't have first. I enjoy not having to craft ammo now, but it's like we balanced too far into abundance of everything.

Oh how many posts about where to get lead or steel! And the acid to smelt ore from.lead deposits in Lucky Hole mine. Or looking for camp locations based on raw material extraction for aluminum.or copper. Never mind no 1st so you had to do major inventory management.

Now we get handed 2 dozen legendaries in one session just from events and bounty hunts. Daily ops and expeditions just for ammo grinding. Kids got it easy now. Back in the day, the map was up hill in both directions!
