So you need 2 lower Tier mods to build a higher Tier mod. I keep getting new T2 and above mod blueprints
but no T1. Only T1 i can craft is couple scopes and muzzles. I cant craft anything higher since i cant get T1 mods anywhere, all the loot drops are T3 by now and no store sells any mod blueprints. Do i really have to just hope i find T2+ mods somewhere to make better mods?

The whole crafting just feels totally useless now. Used to be a must to level it fully to get best items and mods but now you dont need it almost at all.

sadly i think this was an overreaction to the crafting money loop that has existed since launch. this and the seeming removal of buyable components.

I think you need to level more to get access to higher tier crafting recipes. Maybe related to stats to tech or intelligence? Crafting material recipes will automatically unlock as you hit certain levels. You still need to buy weapon recipes from shops. I don't think you can craft clothes or clothing mods anymore. Only certain equipment types like heavy armor or netrunning gear have some stat bonuses to armor or quickhack upload time or zoom level. Everything else seems pure cosmetic. A shame. Well, the shops will start to sell only the best mods and attachments and weapons up to your level.

Yea i figured that atleast some recipes open by leveling up but i cant get the lower levels anywhere. They really need to put those things back in to the stores.
