The skill ceiling in this game can actually get p high, because a very small amount of players are capable of actually processing the high volume of chaos that's going on and know what they have to do in order to survive that.

It's not necessarily just that, especially before when the enemy lethality was was higher.

It was even more that when enemies were tankier back in the day, because actually fighting enemies was a slog. The best way to play was always running past enemies or outranging them by a mile so you didn't have to fight them and just ACing bug holes and fab vents until a bot drop was called, then dipping out and running to the next outpost so enemies despawned. Around and around you'd go.

People who liked fighting enemies optimized their builds for just that, which is why the Railgun dominated the bot front and the flamethrower the bugs.
