Returnal - Do I just suck?

The Souls games were just patterns too. Its just it was easier to get to them and you didn't have to try and level up everything first.

At the same time, like I said, maybe I just suck at this one. 

What do you use? Like what weapon do you use? What traits do you prefer? What alt-fire are you comfortable with?

I hate the shotgun. I'm obsessed with the handgun. It has the best range, a good clip, and a very easy to use overload.

I took a level 1 handgun with homing missiles to the end of world three because it is THAT powerful.

I avoid any artifact or parasite that increases the time I need to dodge.

Dodging is very much the most important part of that. You take no damage while dodging. Plus you move quickly so when the boss does the dash attack I just dodge out.

I'm not sure of the weapon name, but essentially the machine gun. I feel like I'm decent at the dodging during the boss battle but some of the rooms get really hectic and I cant see projectiles coming at me from all angels (or I'm too zeroed in on what's attacking in front of me). 

I tend to avoid almost all the infected stuff, because it seems like usually the debuff is worse than the buff. Maybe that's what's hurting me. 

I admit I don't use the alt-fires well, or enough. I guess I like the lightning one, as it seems to go off quick, but I tend to just go with whatever the most powerful weapon I can find has. I do, also, hate the shotgun, but will use it over the level 0 handgun.
