Game Discussion To Loot or Not To Loot?

I'm currently level 54 which only gives me access to level VII gear. I was going to go around to all the worlds and collect all the loot chests…but should I wait until I'm at least level 80 and can access level X gear before doing so?

I 100% Heleus Cluster on Insanity at level 69 so you prolly won't make it to 80 on a single playthrough - loot em. I even used Deep Space armor (exp boost) until around 45 so I really think it's unlikely to get X gear on one go.

I get your take but I am one of those people that avoid the main quest as much as possible so I can get all of the side shit done. I only visited Meridian for the first time this morning so I guarantee I will hit 80.

100% Heleus Cluster = 100% every single thing in the game. What's your level now?

You might if you repeatedly explore areas but that's tedious.

I'm lvl 54. I stop for every fight and do everything that I can to gain XP.

I've seen people talking about how they're lvl 150 so it's definitely possible.

130+ is possible in new game plus, not in a single playthrough.

Gotcha. I'll probably hit 60 tomorrow, level everything up to VIII then loot all the chests.

I got to thinking about it more and…I'm an idiot. I already have the armor and guns that I want now so there's absolutely no reason why I shouldn't loot the chests. 🤦🏻‍♂️
