Mission requirements make no sense??

[skunk]

So, I'm now looking to do the Seaside missions.
I need:
Nightsticks 4/5 (x33)
assault rifles 7/5 (28)
Military goggles 1/4 (61)
meat cleavers 6/4 (19)
gas mask 2/7 (37)
swat helmet 4/8 (20)
Cadilac 4/5 (9)
fire axe 7/5 (11)
uzi 4/5 (59)
sniper rifle 11/5 (4)

All this will cost another $1.5M at least and add what to my stats???
night sticks, goggles, meat cleavers, gas masks, uzi's all useless, they don't even get used in fights as I have far better weapons.
I'm not big on defense as I am online all the time so I attack lots, that makes swat helmets a waste of money for me too.
Only the cadilac and the sniper rifles are worth buying.

Has anyone given up on following the missions now due to this? I'm seriously considdering it as this is a complete waste of money buying all this stuff just to complete another level.
Circuit street was the same - waste of money buying dozens of useless items.

I've stopped with the missions as of now. I'll probably continue when I feel that they give me something special. I got pissed off when I had to buy like 40 crowbars since that just builds up on your weapon inventory and does uhm well... nothing else.

every one here know that and most of them stop doing mission long ago. Unless you want to find out hidden looting items, it make you look stupid to pay millions for such useless items.
