Photon Module 2 and Fusion are alternative base networking paths; a normal project chooses one.
Photon Stats does not replace Stats 2. It synchronizes the Stats 2 data you already use.
Photon Factions and Fusion Factions do not replace Factions. They synchronize it through the chosen network stack.
State Machine 2, Factions, and LootLocker can be useful without multiplayer.
Start with one representative gameplay loop before buying or installing every optional integration.
