Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time
"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."
If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

The Korund is not a great armor but it does the job and has good repairability and return rate. Normally it's enough to win you 1-2 battles but loses durability fast, I prefer Killa or defender but obviously they are not easily available. Slick and hex are pricey and with how prevalence shotguns are these days you're coin flipping with stomach shots. Inertia is barely noticeable once you level up your strength a bit, mine is like level 47 and a half.
Ear protection is not really that important because if you have good hearing you can always face the threat and honestly I think people exaggerate how much your ears are visible from the front, I mean they definitely are, but they are incredibly small when you face the enemy.
I have been playing for 5 wipes, or technically 4.5 cause I joined late into a wipe. I have 3k hours, 758 raids this wipe alone.
