I read about this bottleneck from the very beginning. Now I got my hyperdrive bundle and have levelled up several toons to 7 star and gear 8, the struggle is real. I know they're hiding them behind a pay walll, but it's so frustrating!Any chance of CG loosening this? I can't physically grind that many stun guns to continue improving my roster now they're all at similar levels :neutral: The gear challenges should add a new level of difficulty which includes mk 5 stun gun salvage and mk 4 droid caller salvage. I'm not too concerned on Carbanti's at the minute, they seem to be way more accessible than the others.

This is the problem with the hyperdrive bundle, it speeds you through the enjoyable part of the game, where you experience fast and satisfying progression, and lands you straight on top of the stun gun/cuff, carbanti and Pit raid gear paywall.

You can use the same treatment you used to get your roster to 85 in a matter of seconds.

CG: Thanks for giving us money from acquiring the hyperdrive bundle, now please look at our other packs and bundles, so you can get the ultimate sense of pride and accomplishment

It's all a smokescreen though. The MKV Stun Guns have always been the biggest problem and the last time they "Helped" alleviate the gear crunch they created Kryotechs and took the MKV Stun Guns off the farmable fleet node. Please CG... stop "helping"

So, i was curious to see how many mk5 stun guns i need in total and for how many toons as well and according to swogh.gg on my gear needed it says 154 for 49 toons to level up from G10,11 and 12 ..., really frustrating ...

Good thing you don't have to level up every toon.

I’m farming Rey shards atm, I have all the gear to take her to relic .... except 200 stunt guns lol

Funny, you'd think the person with "all the Jedi living within" her would not need stun guns

Well, she is also "all the stun guns" so...

I see you.

Stun guns trigger me, I need a safe space

Everywhere is safe. No one has stun guns.

You think stun guns are a struggle? Wait until you unlock a GL. Then you will understand what ridiculous truly is? 1st you work and pay for G13 toons, then you eventually unlock the GL event to spend even more money to earn daily red gems by spending large amounts of crystals to unlock each tier. Next you do a tier and complete it. Then follows a greater amount of crystals and energy spent in light or Darkside battles to earn double the amount of tier 1, which is 15 red gems. Tier 2, 30 red gems..... Then, if you have GL, Kylo unlocked he can be nerfed by 2 toons in PvP. Ridiculous amounts of money for that team to get nerfed!!!! That is the true state of the Galaxy!?

I'm finding it really enjoyable farming all of my toons to 7 stars, and farming all their appropriate mods, but the gear is killing me. I can't move off farming my hard nodes, as they're the most difficult, to farming gear. I just wish there were more rewarding ways of earning them. I'd understand if they were for relics, but they're not even the final 3 tiers of gear!

Exactly! :sweat_smile: It's almost as if they put me in that position and showed me all of the stun guns in the crystal store deliberately :pensive:

Carrie got sacked cos her tip of the spear comment was unrealistic. $4000 a year is nowhere near enough to have 181 G13 characters. Gave the player base a false sense of hope.

I decided to do the count. I have 87 characters that need them.

Definitely makes for a rough decision each time I have to pick who gets one and worse when they need more than one.
