Entering Depot A with my heavy gunner (actually just made my first suit of metal armor; I've been a kevlar anti-rifle tacvest gunner up until now and I'll probably switch back and forth)/submachine gunner with occasional sniper use. This feels just right; it's just hard enough that I have to really try, and I have to use all my resources pretty frequently, but not so much that it's frustrating. Sure, there's been a few times where I've save scummed to avoid having to spend forever being painstakingly careful (like when placing traps near enemies - I should have crafted stealth gear earlier because now I don't need to do that). Also, when wearing bulletproof stuff, I still get hurt and have to be at least a little careful; in my last hard playthrough I did a sledge juggernaut with a regenerative vest and it was like playing a literal tank albeit one with no horse power.
I've done the two early game burrower dungeons and in both of them I killed the last one right before I was about to die after using most of my available expendables; it's such a great feeling. Shush Atoll was particularly hard, but there's a trick to getting it to work that I figured out before too long (it involves caltrops and a certain shoreline's proximity). I've got quick pockets and a utility belt and I am really using them. I carry 15-25 bear traps with me when I go out, and like 40-50 for burrower dungeons.
If I weren't using bear traps and nets/caltrops/mark x frags/incidiaries/taser and/or emp/flashbangs, it would be virtually impossible.
