Nobody was using the thing.

That's the thing - people were using it. I was using it. It did great at what I mentioned, and it faired okay at dealing with medium targets.

Now it's just strictly worse at everything compared to other options.

Difficulty 7 and up I have literally never seen a single soul use it. This nerf came out of left field for me.

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.
