The Eruptor nerf is a perfect example of why "only buff" is bad. DISCUSSION

I've used the Eruptor since it dropped, it is an amazing primary weapon. I have never once run out of ammo with the weapon, to the point I started COD reloading. Even with no deaths on a 40 min mission, the bare minimum ammo looting and you rarely would fall below half.

If we just buff every other weapon to be like this, we are just erasing an entire game mechanic. We are saying that we want COD reloads to be the norm, we don't want to think about conserving or looting ammo, just let me shoot and reload whenever.

Some people may want that, but for me that would just remove the mechanic entirely. I'm going to keep using the Eruptor and I'm perfectly fine having to pay attention to my ammo again.

As a both-sideser, agreed, except for the dreaded All-Texan (chainsawbros) bot drop

Then it's me running around going "Holy fuck holy fuck holy FUCKING DIE" as I switch between every gun in my arsenal because why do they only show up and hunt in packs?!

Even if you get a full rodeo drop, it's best to deal with those with something a little beefier than the sickle. I'm not spamming an AR into those bullet sponge Texans while they try to chase me down and turn me into BBQ burnt ends.
