Yeah most good stock armor doesn't have more than 2 artifact slots. And the dumb thing isn't even that much of a great prize.:nuts: Never ever would of seen or found this had I not read it in the forums.

I also find it absolutely insane how crazy hard they made it to find AND pick up some things. Uber 15000 suits don't have any pockets for artifacts as standard? Why does it cost so much to simply fast travel, jeez. It costs me 1600 money to fast travel back to the Swamps or half that just to go 200meters away from my current position. I wait doing absolutely nothing for freakin 15min. Then I'm suppose to wait for my faction buddies to show up so they can guard the won area.

Perhaps I make it to the defend area and kill all the baddies. Less than 30 seconds later the task is canceled. So I get an announcement to go defend or help an area. I find it odd that I'm expected to pay a NPC for a stash location which contains a secondary missions objective i.e. I now have more action via consistent enemies and new offensive/defensive missions.

Like you said joining a faction is a good idea.
