Fireteam Equipment
For your convenience, you may now view your fireteam's equipment. This includes each player's unique rolls, highlighting breaker types (anti-champion perks) active on their equipped weapons.
An overview of my experience building this feature:
Braytech is character centric. Everything is centred around a specific player's selected character. This has pros and cons. In any case, building features that use many players data at the same time complicates things, especially with items and tooltips.
Performance challenges. Recreating items as they're seen in game isn't necessarily trivial, and while not inherently slow, quickly sums to a duration long enough to be visible to the user, especially when you're doing it for many users and items.
There's some tech debt here.

It's time to take a beat and try to reframe how I see the app. I may have mentioned previously that I get tunnel vision when working on features. I didn't articulate as effectively as "tunnel vision" but that's exactly how it feels. I lose the ability to confidently evaluate the project and my work. If anyone can describe what the heck that is, sound off. 😂
So, I'll be taking a minute to form a list of things that need work or patching up. A quality-of-life pass. I do these semi-regularly, but I don't necessarily feature the fact in a post.
