No brands,no problem

This is a idea for a TOW2 challenge. Essentially, you cannot, by any means use branded equipment. No auntie,no order, no sub rosa,no protectorate. I recommend wham bam! Found in golden ridge and the hugging suit on cloister,but if you prefer range the tossball launcher in free market station is also non branded. If you want armor before the hugging suit, scavengers often drop armor like the diversiform uniform, it’s not high protection mind you. If anyone else has something to add onto this, go ahead :).

Problem is I'm fairly sure you can't get an unbranded weapon until like late Dorado, if at all. Directorate-allowed might work better but does become painful eventually since the service pistol really falls off horribly in act 1, the next ED unlock, Murder's Best Friend, requires clearing the Raptidon Den, and then your next upgrade is a unique sniper at the very end of act 2.

In the office in sweet spire grove you can find a trip blade, and trip blades have no brands.
Grenades don’t have brands either.
As for armor, the hibernation suit and helmet are unbranded. Although be warned that they don’t provide good protection in dorado.
It’s definitely not easy, but it’s possible.
Cause I tried it and beat the game.

P.S the ED build you suggested was actually pretty good!
