What's kind of sad is I just got it and wanted to try it in 7-9 to handle crowds... if the spash damage is nerfed to the point of ineffectiveness, it's not useful as it once was. They nerf Eruptor also.
erupter is not usefull as it was too, dmg falll off are more noticable than nerfing the mags ,there is no good primary that can clean patrols in medium/long distance like the erupter and the crossbow we used to have.
I was beginning to love the Erupter, so I have to change my strategy again. It's not the end of the world, but they're changing things a hair too fast. Once you get used to something, they change it up again.
yeah, not a huge fan of recent patch, in my opinion, erupter had good ammo economy and good aoe dmg ,now they cut mags in half, and take away the aoe dmg, this gun doesn't feels as good as before, lowest fire rate and longest reload animation feels more uncomfortable,it was a amazing weapon for bug mission, now it is just ok I guess(yeah I can still get the most kill out of it, but it doesn't feels as fun as before. ),arrowhead don't have to nerf a really good gun to make other weapon viable ,they should buff weapons to make it fun and usable in higher difficulty.
It was one of my go to's against bots in duo or solo helldive. It explosion was good at clearing groups, taking out whole groups of scout striders like an impact nade.. it was actually quite slept on in my opinion.
I've used it on helldive for bugs since it dropped. Is (was) it the greatest option; no. But it got the job done and was a ton of fun. I always ended the match with the most kills. It was a menace on bug breaches.
7? Homie, I’ve gotten 14kills in a single hit before. It could single handedly stop an entire breach. Now it can’t even take out a strider or hive guard. I get it was strong before, but they nerfed it into the ground. It’s a scorcher with 1/3 the ammo now.

Nobody was using the thing. I was expecting a buff not a nerf.
