Hey Garrus, I've been crunching numbers on the best value for a crossbow upgrade. I think I found a deal that maximizes damage per dollar—care to take a look?

Sure, show me the numbers. I’ll check if the damage boost justifies the cost.

Okay, here’s the math: the current bolt deals 30 damage and costs $0.50 per shot, so $0.0167 per damage point. The upgraded bolt does 45 damage but costs $0.80 per shot, which works out to $0.0178 per damage point. So you’re paying about 6.6% more per point of damage. If you’re shooting, say, 200 bolts a month, that’s an extra $33 a month—worth it only if you hit a big boss or need that extra edge. If you’re just grinding for level‑up XP, the cheaper option saves you the extra cash.

The math checks out. Extra 6.6% per point isn’t trivial, but it pays off only on big targets or when you’re under fire. For routine grinding, the cheaper bolt keeps the ammo budget in check. So use the upgrade only when the mission demands that edge.

Sounds about right—just keep the upgrade in your reserve, not your inventory. That way you don’t end up with a full ammo cache you never use. Happy hunting!
