Not sure it was noticeably worse or better than the first really, I find many MQ's in open world games to really lose their way the later the game goes. Also the whole Dex thing seemed to be an add on rather than fully integrated - I'm assuming it is because of Elex 3

So I agreed to help him deal with these Outlaws that supposedly beat up his friend. We get teleported to Ignadon, I talk to their leader, and he immediately one-shots both of us as soon as the conversation ends. And that was just the one guy. There are several others there too.

- I found axes to be better than swords or hammers, both for 1H and 2H, because they're faster. The damage is a bit lower, but I found the speed increase to be more valuable.
- The best ranged weapons are high end shotguns. Enhanced Leadspreader and Thunderclap are considerably stronger than any other ranged weapons. Probably than any other weapons, period. They'll out damage even heavy weapons. They do require a bit of practice though, as you need to basically be in melee range to do proper damage with them, but they can be used with the jetpack, so flying close by is always an option. Or dodging around.
- Rain of Fire is the most powerful spell available. By a huge margin.
- Morkons can still come close to Berserkers in terms of power though, due to a combination of damage reduction, extra health regeneration, extra attack speed and more melee damage. They make the best brawlers.
- Alb spells are quite mediocre, beyond the healing spell, but at max rank, empowering their main attack spell for an AoE explosion isn't terrible. I actually prefer it to the Berserker spells (except Rain of Fire). However, a good shotgun is way more powerful than either one.
- Going without a faction shouldn't be a problem, provided you go for max fuel and grab Thunderclap. No abilities are needed for that thing to make short work of just about anything, even on higher difficulties.

join the Outlaws via Morkons (like working for the claws in order to join the Outlaws via the Berzerks)

, if you join the Morkons

If a companion attacks an enemy two or three times, the enemy will concentrate on the companion. So you can avoid being attacked yourself most of the game. Only enemies with laser/blaster guns don't follow that rule, so they are the most annoying ones.

I got a perk called something like "Jet pack master" automatically after killing the end boss. This is very useful, since it allows you to fly as long and as high as you want without using fuel. Does everybody get this perk or had it to do with the fact, that I maxed out all jet pack abilities before? Edit: Obviously everybody gets it, at least they say so on reddit.
