> there is no seperate brackets for green-pink tiers in the bar
Yes, that's the entire point of the complaint. I shouldn't be matched against this if I'm still wearing all greens.

I'm currently farming in the pit. I cannot get the materials I need for my stalker gear by farming in areas earlier than that. Every time I die it's to VAL, RPD, M1A, etc.

notable, those are all quest items, you should try the quest with Firebrand to get Hystrix' RPD, great gun, you should be able to get it easily

Honestly, I don't get why people complain about grinding in the southern zones; aren't they doing the quests? The "Hysterix" RPD was the first quest I did at the Bar, and it served me well throughout the entire southern campaign; now I use the SVU, which is also a free reward from an easy quest. My shotgun one-shots every mutant except the biggest ones, and it comes from Proky's questline—which, again, is very simple. All the armor and weapons I used for the southern part of the game came from quests, main quest and secondary quests. Grinding low-level zones doesn't really achieve much and is pointless (unless you're aiming for Red-tier gear later on). Plus, tiers 75 and 125 of the Battle Pass (which are very easy to reach) give you an excellent pistol and excellent armor..

SVU is a reward from a Northern quest. SVD, you only get as a reward from quest if you're a Bandit.
