Biome 3 Puny Boss Did couple of Biome 4 runs after this and was getting rekt by Mini Boss in locked rooms post the eclipse.. Then thought of doing a Full run from B1 and was f**king insane.. leveled up like anything and melted first 3 Biome Bosses in no time, also got 3 Nightmare Dungeons (1,3,4) before I reached Biome 4 Boss with 30% health and second chance.. the Boss is so weird can't even see where to hit lol somehow killed him without taking second chance: Insane run and this is how my stats and collectibles was before game forced me to return to base and loose everything, 51 Level and 41,000~ Lucenite LOL was just insane adrenaline After some twist in the story, continued Biome 5 and cleared another Nightmares, used the second chance and regained again by clearing the Nightmare, the crossbow is proper OP when you hold R2, the Rifle at level 45 is something else.. Biome 5 art direction is Amazing !! Best one till now for me.. called it a day and paused in B5 for now.. f**king Brilliant Game.. what a time sink !

The ones you get post eclipse are pretty much useless only..

I switched to a higher-tier rifle midway through Biome 7, but I just couldn’t handle how long it was taking to deplete enemy health bars. It was pumping out a crazy number of rounds, yet all I was really doing was holding R2 and dodging endlessly. I eventually went back and picked up the Reaper, and then cleared Biome 7 without much trouble. Funny thing is, the Reaper was around 12–15 levels lower than the rifle/autogun. For me, the S-tier weapons are definitely the Chakram and the Onslaught. Everything else sits somewhere in A or B tier.

Maybe I'm just bad at using them, getting rekt whenever I use any version of it :/

The artifacts in this game are so useless. For most of my runs, I just ignore them because taking them debuffs your runs so much, rather than helping you.
