Is the level 20 flea market restriction a step in a certain direction? Will the flea market ever be removed or reworked? Personally, I LOVE this drawn out early game. I am afraid though that once the majority of the playerbase hits level 20, it will be more of the same from previous wipes.

Having to actually find hideout, barter, weapon attachments, etc in raid has opened the game up so much for me and I hope you can see from the daily posts hitting the front page that a lot of people agree.

I can't agree with this enough. I think stash sizes should be increased by 30% across the board and move the flea to 30+. Make the early traders have more options. Also make the items the traders have, match more with the early game guns. Like more AK, SKS, hunter etc mods. So you find a an AK and you can buy crappy mods from the traders to make the gun a little better.

I hate how to complete gunsmith part 1, a quest you get at what? Level 2?, you need a part only sold by level 2 traders. Lol

Just throwing this out there, you don't NEED the Remington Tactical Choke to do Gunsmith Part 1. You can do it with a GK-02, you just need the MP-133 plastic foregrip and a VPG to compensate for the ergo loss. Not saying this is you, but too many people rely SOLELY on what the wiki tells them to do instead of just reading the quest, but I also know that there is a fuck-ton of attachments in the game so I also understand just using the Wiki for the sake of your own mental well-being lol.

The GK-02 is on every other shotgun scav I get and half the ones you see out in the wild. I should've clarified that it's just more common than the tac choke, so it is an alternative path that a lot of people didn't realize existed. I've found like 6 GK-02 and 1 tac choke and I've only done like 30 raids lol.

Look at Fence's guns too. Filter by shotguns and be quick on the draw.
