There is also a bug sometimes where a specific person (or people) simply cannot be reinforced. Have had it happen in the middle of the map on bug missions, throwing reinforce after reinforce and they simply do not come back. Haven't seen it in a bit though so I thought it might've gotten fixed at some point.

ScootsMcSkirt posted:were they near the edge of the map or a strat jammer? If you throw the reinforcement outside the map or in the jammer's range, it wont go off and it wont give you any indication that it didnt work It's at least a 6 week old bug based on when I posted about it Away all Goats posted:Just had a bug where I couldn't reinforce at all. Two other people died and when the last guy reinforced us, the 3rd guy to die was the only one who came back. Away all Goats fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Apr 25, 2024 |

Yeah I've had that happen at least four or five times. It's not exactly common but I feel like it is commonly known.

I would love an AA sentry that targets gunships, shriekers and dropship engines. Questionable use against bugs maybe but would be a huge benefit against bots.

Ive learned to love it against bots but it took me a while to get used to handling it under pressure. With bugs i usually eliminate hordes from afar and handle lone hunters with sidearm. Bur It's so loving wierd to worry about explosion knockback launching you forward...

close range eruptor should just act like a weak single shot rifle, like the shell doesn't have time to arm.

One thing I really like about the eruptor vs bugs is that it can fairly reliably 1 shot stalkers, and because you shoot and immediately move you can effectively kite them. In situations where 4 have spawned at once if you are using a normal gun and have to stand and fire you cede a lot of ground to the survivors.

eruptor feels pretty mediocre to me, tbh, I can spray down most small fry with the sickle, regardless of the range, and for bigger bots I can just pull my autocannon out and deal with them infinitely faster than the eruptor maybe if you're not running autocannon it might have a place, I guess? It just feels really bad to have out when some jetpack boys show up and land in your face

Eruptor is fun, and good but it's more like a support weapon than a primary. The sickle is like 1/2 of a stalwart, and it's like 1/2 of an autocannon or AMR or GL. It is redundant with the AC though, it pairs well with the Lasercannon.

eruptor is probably too slow for the bots.. but for bugs the only thing autocannon does better is it can spit bullets out faster and can take down a shrieker nest. but you have to reload in place and it occupies both your backpack and your support weapon... and it's not very effective against chargers/titans. eruptors are also not good against heavies but you can still hold a quasar as your secondary since eruptors are the primary. and on top of that you can wear a laser dog or shield that can deal with the riffraff. autocannon feels great until you get a charger/titan Strong Sauce fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Apr 26, 2024 |

Strong Sauce posted:autocannon feels great until you get a charger/titan You can kill a charger in two autocannon shots if you hit one of the back legs twice but it's hard to get the angle just right. Never been able to do it consistently, sometimes it works but at least half the time the shots bounce off the armor and do nothing.

Eruptor is good on bots if paired with the quasar or laser cannon. Autocannon and sickle is definitely superior, but sometimes I wanna mix things up a bit. It's a little bit slower and more methodical, but the eruptor is only slightly slower at taking out devastators than the AC if you aim at their legs.

Sagebrush posted:But honestly one of my favorite parts about this game is how everybody has a different setup that they insist is obviously the best, and there isn't a single meta loadout that everybody always takes. Aside from a handful of unlocks that are noticeably less useful -- but still often situationally powerful -- pretty much everything is useful and quite well balanced and complements everything else. It's great There's been plenty of metas but nerfs and new warbonds break them up.

You can two shot a charger from the front with an eruptor if you can ricochet the round off the ground into its belly.

probably had my most controller throwing moments right now on a suicide mission.. one of the team members died with a bunch of samples/rares and _had_ to go back to get them. so we cover for him and we end up getting it and getting back to extract... only once the pelican landed... no one could get in. i was literally inside the pelican but it would not trigger.

I haven't been able to do this bit I'm one of those people that likes the Eruptor much more against bots than bugs. I still take an array of shotguns versus bugs and they feep great. Basically I either always have the Redeemer or the Grenade Pistol on me and the former goes with tue Eruptor and the later with the GP. I've been trying the laser cannon vs bots again and while I find I use it a lot less than any of the AT supports or the AC it is really quite good against factory striders. Very easy to lance them in the eye until they fall, especially if you've already taken out all their other guns and/or are close enough that their top cannon can't target you. Lets you take them out with using any stratagems which is grrat for the horde thats built up while you've been trying to 1v1 the bot titan.

Laser cannon having no stagger whatsoever and bad kill times unless you are hitting their head makes it way, way worse against devastators than AC/AMR, and tbh I think heavy devastators are the #1 most dangerous bot overall.

It is super surprisingly good against tanks and turrets and anything with the glowy weakpoint though. But that's a bit niche.

Explain to me how people are recommending the eruptor as a primary when its DPS is so low. You spend so much time cycling the action and reloading.
