The game is designed for you to make choices with limited resources. Every choice has consequences, good and bad. The omega shortage is just resource management, probably omega’d a few toons that were not needed like I did before you realized Lumara, Bariss and others are worthless and there were better choices as we unlocked.
What I can’t abide is that a fully crafted Mk V stun gun costs more crystals that 3 fully crafted GS 12 items. That’s just plain wrong and the fact that 70 Mk V stun guns are required and some characters require multiple stun guns from GS8-GS12, including a fully crafted Mk V stun gun to merge with Mk VI stun salvage and a Mk X grenade which requires even more carbanti. Deadpool’s in a very dark place right now.
