You actually sound stupid if somehow you read “underpowered” and then immediately jump to the conclusion of:

Why can’t I attack this clearly heavily armored enemy with a small calibre weapon and killed them instantly?

Players: “Why not just make all of the underpowered weapons actually useful in high difficulty?”

Arrowhead: “Go fuck yourselves, lmao rekt”

I hear this argument from people who played the background prologues and thought those were the major decisions in Cyberpunk. Mild spoiler alert to anyone who hasn’t played: they are essentially short tutorials, not major storylines.
