Scavenging Exploit
Find all the items that would be available to you on easy mode on hard/survivor/grounded difficulty. You will need to do this whenever the game loads a new area otherwise you will only find items that would be there on the original difficulty you selected. Also make sure when you change the difficulty to easy that you don't press X, change the difficulty to easy and then back to the difficulty you started the game with and press O.
