So I'm around level 27 now. I maxed out Duelist. I switched to commando since I read that dual guns is one of the busted ranged weapons.

However my DPS is pretty subpar. I switched to heavy grenada gear focusing on ranged damage. From what I gather, dual guns are decent on ranged stat as much as it's seemingly a potential build weapon.

My concern is, with the duelist, I can fight monsters above my level, but with the dual guns, fights beneath my level take too long. Should I just suck it up and switch back to longsword and AR to deal damage while leveling commando to FMJ?

NGL, I'm broke right now trying to buy gear and respeccing so I cannot easily refund my skill points back to my duelist weapon skills.

Also, are dual guns reliant on overdrive? I tried researching this, and it seems you build up TP with dual guns and switch to melee. I saw another video and he's just using dual guns and overdrive without switching to melee. I'm burnt out with melee at the moment since that was what I used in the duelist tree.

I'm roughly 3 hours into the game, I stopped at that main quest where you find the missing pathfinders.

I want to play this without using guides or anything, but can I mess up builds here? Are the skill points limited? I haven't really upgraded any arts because I worry that the arts I'm upgrading won't be useable on the weapon I'll be maining.

I'm trying to find this information from a post I saw weeks ago, something about how BLADE organizations (groups?) are just flavor text and don't do anything. But what about classes? Do I get to play all classes in a single playthrough or is it a committment?

About levels, if a mission says level req 9, that means I don't have to be overleveled right? No sudden difficulty spike vs the indicated level req?

All I know really is that I should savor my time with the game and not rush getting a Skell.

Not sure how "different" they would be that burnout is not a risk. I'm aware the story or setting is separate and its more sci-fi than XC 2.

I bought and played XC2 as a buffer after beating BOTW and before TOTK. But I did not expect I'll fall in love with the game enough for me to want to check out XCX and actuallg considering going for it instead of TOTK. I'm waiting for a sale on XC 1 and hoping for a switch 2 patch on XC 3.

Also, please tell me XCX music is just as much of a banger as XC2's. Back in Argentum, when the game hasn't clicked I was copinf that "at least the music is kind of nice." Didn't expect several of them to be actual bangers.

Lastly, any of you Switch 2 handheld players of the game? It's not as bad as the graphics sound if I don't compare it to docked right? I hear it can look like a blurry mess.
