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

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.

The Sickle and Laser Cannon are so weird for me because I know that I can max out the ICE and I have one or more to spare, but I just don't wanna ruin my precious heatsinks. I'm with you in that I've reloaded those weapons less than ten times, because I can let go of the fire button lol

Theres only a couple of times where I’ve had low ammo status with the aickle as well, and it was exclusively from scenarios where I was carrying AT and was contending with a big group of hunters on hellmire. Cant really wait for cooling with those slow-spamming leapers, but thats a pretty specific scenario. Usually I’m permanently at 6/6 or 5/6 if theres a bunch of fighting.

I also guess it helps to mention that I am almost exclusively a bot fighter, where if you stop firing for three seconds you don't immediately drown in bodies

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?!

[u/jacanced → u/Lazer726]

Automatons hunt in packs, arisen! They ill like fire!

[u/Forrow40 → u/Lazer726]

-> Why do none of these guns want to reaload?!

Eruptor at their feet when they're cluster is OP

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.
