havent played in years but a friend told me so i was wondering how much has changed? for example, is bullet sponging gone and is it as customisable as the mods now

    Still takes like 20 headshots to down someone. It gets a little better mid-late game. It was brutal playing 2.0 before the Headshot damage mod was updated.

    However, I noticed that blades seemed a bit buffed. I was able to melee super easy early on.

      I think this is largely dependent on build and weapon. I’ve been playing a stealth / throwing character and throwing knives kill almost anyone with a single headshot, as do revolvers. If I try to use an assault rifle, though, I can empty a clip into someone’s face and they’re still standing.

        I had a reflex build but ended up using shotguns since assault damage was so bad. Maybe it’s just the weapon type.
