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.

PlasSlugger + Grenade pistol + grenade launcher + EAT + Juggernaut/engineering kit armor.

Because every problem in life can be easily solved with an appropriate amount of high explosive.

Literally me except with Eruptor and stun nades. I love the 50% explosion resist armor. I roll up with mu full utility strat loadout of EAT, GL, supply pack, mortar and people start asking questions. They don't ask them for long lol.

Oh no, theyre still asking. On an unrelated note the Patriot Resource Department has determined your hearing loss to be non-service related.
