The economy in this game is broken (Duos)
I enter a match with a 50-70k loot loadout (lots of bandages and shield chargers). I exchange gunfire with 4-8 people during the match, and when I go to loot, they are all "rats" (free loadout). So, I just used $20,000 to $35,000 worth of ammo, grenades, shield recharges, and bandages (Guns too because you have to repair), and there is nothing left that is worth getting. Their bandages and shield recharges were used in the battle, and now there is only a low-tier (grey) gun with about 30 ammo.
Mind that this often happens in the first 10-15 minutes of gameplay.
Then, I go to extraction with a broken shield or without bandages, and there are two guys camping who kill us and take our remaining loot.
So, what is the reason to go into a match with good loot if, after the first shot, I will get waves of free loadout players running toward me?
Now, let's pretend in the next match I kill three duo teams with good loot. I can't even get everything out to extract because the bags in this game are really small.
So yeah, for me, after playing many extraction games, the economy is broken. There is no reward for players who play this game with good loot.
So, the resulting path is this: I play solo to farm gear and money, only to try to have fun by going duos with more loot and lose the entire day's worth of farming. The cycle then repeats.
Another problem, there is no duos only server in SA, so I have a choice of playing against trios in SA or with lag on NA... I hope they fix that.
Does this happen to other people, or is it just me?
(and yeah I used AI to fix the text, English is not my first Language)
