6. Summary and Personal Thoughts
The damage difference between the two sets is not significant.
It is recommended to choose considering personal style, module combination, and firearm characteristics.
Guardian: Utilize Quick Return, use in Snowy Mountain/Common areas
Black Stone: Use firearms that force reloading, such as the Inter-Personnel Pulse
