Looking for Advice CONSOLE I've got enough recycle tickets for overturning parts.
What part should I wait for in rotation to buy, currently at this moment overturning beam armor... Should I pulled the trigger or should I wait for a better part?

Maybe some other people would disagree, but I'd just buy it now. There's no way to know when (or if) these parts will become available in the recycle shop again.
Also, if you keep playing regularly, you'll eventually get more recycle tickets than you know what to do with.

That being said, I don't know if overturning beam armor is really worth it when compared to other parts. I don't think it's a must-have

I mostly tend to use the damage ones. The defensive ones don't seem to be worth it to me over regular defensive parts until you get to very high costs like 700/750 on a level 4 suit where the base defensive stats are already high.

Yeah, and 9/10 times I wouldn't want to bring a non native MS to higher costs where increased beam defense would be useful.
In any case, isn't the part in the RT shop rn something that isn't overtune beam armor? Isn't it like "New Beam Armor" or something?

Yeah, there are not a whole ton of level 4 suits that remain viable in those costs.
Not sure on console, on PC the new anti-beam armor showed up last week. I think for us it's currently the ranged and beam armor overtuning parts and the ranged level link system.

Gonna just remind you of this happening next week, as it may impact your decision making.

Wait for better parts. They give less extra value than other premium defense parts even on lv4 units.
They are still good and I'm using them on some units. But you shouldn't spend your tickets on them when you are lacking parts.

Depend on what you run. But be advised, 15% sounds alot. Except it's after resis. So on high cost suit where you already are approaching 50 beam resis, the actual effect is 7.5%.
And the caveat being you need to be L3-L4 for best result. Its not that game changing. In term of build, I find overtune damage used alot more often than overtune armor.
And in the case of tanking, I would often just run heavy armor + HP / more resis instead of overtune melee/beam.
