i've been playing the closest competition lately, destiny 2. the game IS the grind. weapon drops are random, weapons are random, they can have up to 3 different perks which vary from "absolutely useless, actually detrimental" to "you can't live without this", with abundance of the former, so even if you just spent weeks, even months (not kidding) to have a specific weapon it could still be absolutely unusable.
there's crafting, not every weapon can be crafted, in order to unlock the crafting of a single weapon you have to drop 4-5 of them with a specific modifier, which is extremely rare and at the moment not even clear how and where to get it. the pool is wide enough you might actually never unlock stuff.
the most important part is: 99% of the weapons are just "click and deal damage straight in front of you", it's a collection of hitscan guns, it's absolutely not even slightly anywhere near warframe's variety of arsenal.
