Leaving the explosive damage on the Eruptor as-is and adding on the shrapnel damage will just make Sweatdivers smoke a cigarette as they get "proof" that the buffs are overpowered.

Shrapnel is back? Wow one whole nerf in a pile of gold is actually nice, considering it isn't totally destroying the gun's worth like every patch before.

I'm too lazy to find the numbers but I remembered the shrapnel have crazy good total damage addition and decent chance to hit collateral so it's fine if the shrapnel stats is still the same

Scythe buff is insane and gives you a reason to use it over boring-old sickle.

Diligence can also 1-shot devastator eyes. So this just makes it a better Diligence CS for bots, and diligence CS gets even better.

Watch some brain-is-missing dumbdiver claim that the less damage means this is yet another nerf, so 1 nerf and 30 buffs is another L patch worstgameverrefundomgwtfbbq

Would love to see lib pen and both Diligences getting these buffs
Honestly, they should be next to Dominator in terms of dmg to be pleasant to use, but these are fine too, just need to land your shots
Scythe buff is actually good, i would prefer a slight AP ratio buff or an ability to melt some armor for your allies to shoot through, but all of them look great
Let's wait and see
Ty for sharing brother

Armor melt might just be a property of the toxin weapons. Gotta wait .

Yes and no, there is very likely no nerf here.

It's explosion damage used to be around 200, but it had shrapnel, which the shrapnel did far more damage than it's raw 340 damage does now.

It's completely possible that while on paper this may seem like a nerf, if it has the original shrapnel back, it will be a major buff.

Its cool i want this so bad. :) my eruptor is back. Whats todays buff news anything anounced until now?

[*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆Prinny☆]

Shrapnel was the only reason the eruptor was so good. Watch them take it away in 2-4 weeks.

If we lose a buff that soon i'd have negative sympathy for them and just stay away for other games that let me rain explosions on hordes.

[edelbrock443]

From the leaks, the Eruptor seems to have a unique "small shrapnel" effect. I heard that before, it used the shrapnel values of an orbital, so it's my guess the new shrapnel effect is probably closer to a grenade or something similar.

[Huhruhkayn]

OMFG the Crossbow is getting un-nerfed? Truly joyous news indeed if true.

[Huhruhkayn]

The eruptor got a huge buff to damage when they took away shrapnel so the nerf makes sense.

[LeftIsBest-James]

They'll find something to be mad at.

(like some effing anime villian)
