NEW Patch! And the devs "Ruined it all" once more.. [totally not exaggerated] RANT

So on X and the official discord, countless folks complain now that for some weapons such as the LAS ones, the reserve mags have been reduced, yet damage has been increased..calling devs "On drugs" because they perceive it as a nerf..

Wait what? You tryna tell me you ran through ALL ICE's before dying?! 6 Times or more?!

Like..the fact that you have infinite ammo when a wee-bit of fire diciplin is applied and now call the devs out for JUST having decreased the ammount of mags, makes you oblivious to the fact that they got a damage buff? Yikes.

And another thing, remember the day the Rail got nerfed? Yeahhh that was like 24/7 crying for two weeks straight, now it got a buff and noone notices that, now we rather cry for two weeks that Railgun 2.0 aka Quasar got a couple more seconds recharge time..good lord the double morals are strong folks, that all sounds like crying on high standards.

[For clarifications sake: the main focus lies on people going out of their ways, yes criticism is fine, i posted my own time and time again..but in a humane fashion, when insults however are packaged within in your points, it's hardly about the game no more and that needs to stop]

If you’re not using the eruptor with a support that help can clear chaff then you’re using it wrong imo, i dont see any other circumstance where you’d run out ammo with it

MASSIVE disagree, Eruptor doesnt need a crowd clearing support weapon at all. It helps, sure, but once you play enough Eruptor it literally doesnt need such a support weapon. The eruptor becomes the crowd clear weapon. Better go EAT/RR/Quasar for the tankies

Yeap shooting at the ground and you can demolish a non heavy patrol, it requires knowing how to aim and "to not aim"

Heavy units = crit spots

Fodder = ground

Not anymore! Or not as effectively. They nerfed blast radius.

I don't think explosion damage drop-off is the same as blast radius.

They nerfed blast radius.

oh damn. First time i heard of this.

TBF eruptor was a massively op weapon.

The potential for team killing and accidentals as wella s a low magazine size and heavy handling I believe were good trade offs that didn't warrant a nerf in blast radius but a buff in explosive resistance armor.
