Hi,
I have finished Vaporum on brutal difficulty over 20 times already, and I am currently playing it again and I have noticed one thing that I think should be fixed.
More specifically, the Marauder Chestpiece that we find in one of the secret areas in level 2 is too strong and makes all other chest pieces in the game obsolete (yes, even the ones found in the super secret).
That "1.5% integrity dealt as damage" perk is just too powerful, even if the chestpiece itself only gives 70 integrity, and even if you only kill monsters in 1-2 less hits than by using any other chestpiece. That 1.5% bonus is so strong that, unless I play Thauma Rig and thus put on a thauma-relevant chestpiece, for all other exo rigs the MC is the best option.
I know that Vaporum is already finished and that you are currently working on Lockdown, but if you ever go back to Vaporum please fix the Marauder Chestipiece. It really makes all other chestpieces obsolete and it's a pity because I want to use them so badly but I just can't feel compelled when I see the damage that the MC adds to my weapons.
The way I would "fix" it is by either reducing the damage to 0.5% or completely remove that bonus and give a different one like, for example, 50% chance per hit to do crit damage, or 50% chance per hit to add 1% integrity as damage, or something that is more balanced than the current bonus
