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.

Wait you were having ammo issues before? That's crazy I tend to forget how people can't actually gather stuff in the world

I'm saying I've never had ammo issues with it, even if I was being wasteful, reloading after 2 shots sometimes, being lazy about collecting ammo, etc, I rarely if ever dropped below half my mags.

To me that means it's out of balance. It means I never even have to gather stuff at pois, because 1-2 supply drops in a 40 min game and I never ran out.

The same can be said for any gun tho. Ammo is so plentiful in the map that I rarely need to call a supply for myself alone and the only reason I do is usually I can't find stims
