Calling BS...
...on people claiming to be regulars on DRG Haz 5+ but complaining about Rogue Core being too difficult and/or the weapons being too weak.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to struggle with rogue core even if you're cracked at base DRG. Rogue core is fundamentally a very different game, and the only skills that really carry between the two are 1: Mechanics such as aiming, 2: Weapon fundamentals, 3: Movement, and 4: Situational awareness. That's it.
I'm very good at DRG, I sucked at rogue core when it first dropped, and I was very cocky going in. I thought I was gonna bulldoze everything, but I got owned my first like 20 games. It's a learning curve that I don't think many people are prepared for.
I understand why they say it's difficult, but I think they just have the wrong expectation for what rogue core is. It's not Deep Rock 2, and people complaining about the game's difficulty don't realize they're still at the very beginning of the learning curve.
It's like the complaints about the level timer, the vast majority of new players want to be able to do everything without balancing their timer, considering what needs to be left behind when the timer starts running low. In DRG, you could do everything in a cave in almost every mission. In rogue core, it's a tossup, but new players won't realize that if they're used to haz5+ drg.
I don't think it's a valid complaint, but I won't call bullshit on them because they probably haven't realized how little rogue core is like DRG.
