Weapon Upgrades

[TerrorBite]

...read my example with helmet A and B, the higher tier items will not always be redundant over the next level weapons, and the next level weapons will not always be redundant to the t3 of the 1 level down weapons.
I presume you mean the top items dont need a buff, well your loadout would be relatively nerfed unless you are maxed, as the next level up upgrades are bigger than the weapon tier upgrades, and if you think maxed people who can afford 2/3x of items shouldnt be able to be buffed, then the best of each weapon type can be unconsumable. Seriously, read my previous comment a good 10x before replying.
