is it expensive to get into?

Yes and no

why

wanna pwn the game with minimal investment?
yes
wanna pwn the game with larger investment?
no

why what

i thought cyclone was only pwn with heavy investment
i am wrong?

my gear is nothing special and i did uber and shaper deathless

It's both
Pwn game with minimal or pwn it harder with more (headhunter)

im currently playing ed/cont trickster

thoughts if it'll be fun to play cyclone too?

the point is you can easily do all content with shit gear
you ofc can upgrade to insane levels if you are rich but its more than enough with basic gear i did uber with some rando ilvl 70ish weps i found myself about 300dps ea and it was more than enough
