I always felt that the technology tree in the Matrix was particularly messy, and it was so chaotic it was ridiculous. It ranged from the lowest-level cold weapons and basic thermal weapons to more advanced electromagnetic weapons and laser weapons, with a power discrepancy that was amazingly absurd.
How could a cold weapon have a higher power and grade than an electromagnetic firearm? That's not scientific!
Thinking about it now, the blueprints for these items and weapons... oh no, the power system in the Matrix is so chaotic probably because it's been experienced by too many players.
Take the Abyss Race we encountered this time, they're clearly not on the path of technological development but instead developing racial traits and evolving something akin to superpowers or abilities... ummm, magic? Such methods of attack or defense."
