@Grandpa Minion Clothes are coming back i guess. Next big update will include a wardrobe system, whatever that means. Outfit DLC´s are also announced for Q4 2024.
There is no enemy that justifies steel polish in the game. That would be easy mode. It would be nice as a pure optical thing though. PvP is not an argument here. The game balance is focused on PvE mostly. Also wasn´t there a promise that PvP will get a seperate game mode with it´s own balance once the game is finished?
I don´t miss the jar system with water as it was way too easy, but i don´t like the new system that is as easy as before.
Log spikes and combining things in the workbench, also OP.
I don´t miss calipers, but i also wouldn´t mind them. For experienced players ammo is a non issue as you can melee a lot easily. Turret ammo is cheap af and on horde night i don´t fire a single round. Grenades/pipe bombs and mollies. I usually get more and more ammo in my boxes the later in game i am.
