The first shooting tests showed that Volatile can withstand 50 shots from an assault rifle and about 8 from a shotgun (gold). Is this a bug? Crossbows can kill a jumper in 4 bolts, but firearms can barely cope with strong enemies, and damage from the legend level, which is basic, is small. In addition, it is impossible to put cartridges in a backpack, they are only in the player's inventory.
#firearms cause very little damage.

How have you got that high a level already with the vendor to get the gold guns? Or do you mean you’re using mods?
