The Tormentor (pistol) is rather useful too!
Grind? I'm 'just playing' and doing stuff I find fun and progressing reasonably well... Although I think the mat requirements for Odyssey upgrades are totally 'over-the-top-stupid' and will pick up the last couple of bits of data for both long-range and reduced tool consumption then stop, otherwise I will feel like I'm imposing "GRIND" on myself. No doubt in a few months I'll have another upgrade or two in stock

(but as my other account is in Colonia I have had to come back to the bubble to do engineering in Odyssey!)
