No grind? If you want to buy everything, you will need to grind. Doing the missions once doesn't net you a lot of money, but you can replay missions to make more money. You also will probably miss the optional objectives that can unlock parts you can't buy in the shop unless you replay the mission (or are playing with a guide).

You don't need to buy everything unless you're a completionist. Things can be resold for 100% value so there's no need to own everything at once. And replying a mission because you missed something is hardly a grind.

Why would you want to buy everything?

So I can change my build whenever I want? I could buy and sell outside of a sortie, but what if I want to swap shit between checkpoints? I can't use the store then, but I can access my garage and owned bits. Can also have multiple mechs. And because I must. It's video game law. 😤

Wait, you can reconfigure mid-sortie? How? I know you get a chance to garage-only-reconfig after the briefing, but the briefings haven't contained contain useful info for planning loadouts so far. Is there something in the "Restart from checkpoint" screen I'm missing? I was disappointed I couldn't tweak my loadout at resupply, for example.

edit: I'd always been assuming that leaving the mission meant leaving your checkpoints. Is there some way to partially-leave-mission?

Die. Then you can reassemble before retrying. If you leave the mission, you start from the beginning. This way you can keep your checkpoints, but still switch up parts. It's like it's specifically there for people like me who suck lol

Totally agree with the supply cabinets they drop sometimes. That shoulda been a way to access your entire garage if you manage to reach it without dying.
