Nice guide. I was away for a long time. Its good to see your blog and tube channel still alive. Its pinned as one of my favorite pages for a very long time.

The only point I dont agree about builds is I still prefer rifle, pistol combination with a submachine gun. I believe this also fits the minimalist approach since that type of build can loot and shoot any type of ammo (assuming the player carries more than one type of a gun at weapon slots aswell as the inventory slots)

When we pick the awkward game breaking infinite ammo minigun, armor and max boost combos; the original game as it meants to be looting and grooting and aggro control at will. Also doing it the most economic way not to burn out (Pistol, rifle and submachinegun)

I really find melee, explosives the most useless weapons now (all except under certain conditions). I adored fast shotguns such as AA alot at the past. Its dps/dph isnt good at all. The ammo consumption of sm gun can be , somehow controlled. (Saving subm ammo for Outpost defense and only for short time defense out at looting and hunting)...Ps: Getting outof mass aggro Esc>Log out seems to be the most rational way if the player is under serious threat anyways; fending off the swarm with a subm gun; doing so.

I find pistol and rifle the two core weapons in the game, which I agree and wish the game got back to its original roots at a more realistic post apoc survival.

After the hype (and proven to be over-hype) of the Santa's Little Helper SMG, the X-MP5 has dropped a lot in price and is currently at the somewhat affordable price tag of 12m. It is currently the first ever of the X-guns to be somewhat affordable for the average player now, and ammo is also pretty cheap if you are capable of establishing an alt bridge from Bunker right to Nastya's Holdout (protip: get an alt at northeast corner of Western Zone, since Holdout also uses that same trade zone)

Given the trend, I would say that the X-MP5 would be a fine addition to the guide in the future.

Also noteworthy is that an enterprising student would have been able to afford the Chimney Sweeper which adheres exactly to the core concept of scientific minimalism, but applied on a higher level, i.e. the bosses previously concluded to be impervious toward scientific minimalism. It offers decently high DPS partially compensating for the drawback of all other shotguns, while maximizing knockback so much that it opens up almost every single boss for feasibility in hunting, all the while retaining the cost-saving nature of shotguns in general.

This all came at the cost of 1,000(1250) credits, 40(42)% that of the vaunted Buckblast's sale price. Sadly it's Limited Edition and is thus subject to further inflation despite its popularity, even though its current price is still much lower than that of the now lower tier X-crafted weapons.
