I'm currently just inside the Slags, but I get beaten up there all the time.
My stats are as follows:
Perception = 9 (11 buffed)
Reflexes = 9
Strength = 9
Will = 4
I currently have the Security visor, Midguard MK9, Midguard Riot Shield, Light armored vest, scrubs bottoms, and electrical kit equipped. The only skill I have is chess.
Am I completely missing something here or do I just need to grind some stats? I really like this game so I don't want to abandon it completely, but I need a hint as to what I'm doing wrong.
