Performance

Game have serious issues in performance regard of hardware with unjustified use of VRAM
Issues appear on high-end hardware too, the game just consume too much VRAM; put "Texture" on Normal fix it. Use DLSS or FSR to compensate the ridiculous drops. Also, "Model details" add some extra performance drops.

"There are other chain weapons in the game, honestly better versions too, honestly none of the DLC is worth it like at all. You replace the armor within a few minutes and you get a chain weapon on the second level IIRC."

"Just a note, unless you want it for pure screenshot purposes it's not worth getting. The game has no 'equip load' system, so there's no reason other than fashion to not swap to better gear as you get it, and the MA set has barely better stats than the normal starting gear. There's no glamour type system to allow you to use the appearance with better actual armor, so unless you want to make things harder on yourself by having zero armor all game you'll probably be using them for all of 10 minutes per playthrough."
