R36 Erupter VERY dissapointed.....

[coolericed]

Hi all,

So after LONG waiting for this weapon it finally came out saved the medals. And.....anti climax! It uses a LONG range scope up to 200m. However i can't even target the HULK's weakpoint (head) and it does ABSOLUTELY nothing at all even when i stun the Hulk and going prone. It does ZERO damage i am shooting at its head. However THIS video below serves as a FALSE adverticement for this weapon. Notice the first couple seconds you probably hear a Anti material rifle shooting on the hulks face then the guy with the R36 does the death blow with the weapon also he 1 shot Automaton drop ship (engine) yet if i do it nothing....

Leaked video probably from testing yet it has been EDITED. So probably heavily nerfed before real release.

Yet uses the same trash scope on the Anti Material Rifle which is badly calibrated.

This thing is single bolt action takes a lot of time to reload i understand this perfectly fine however it should have PRO and CONS con is good luck killing a Hulk on his face. It should have bit more armor penetration so you can engage Hulks weak spot (head). 1 shot fabricators NOPE just like in the videos they showed again false adverticement. Very dissapointed! Other videos leaked or not show how this weapon behaves not asking for a copy from the videos NOT asking for 1 shot everything lol. But dang zero damage to a Hulks face well thats dissapointing.

you posted a video quite literally titled "leak" and expected it to be actually official?

dude if it was anything like in the video you posted it would be the single best primary weapon in the game. I am not at all shocked it's not like that lmao

it still does a ton of damage, is great against crowds and is incredibly good against the devistator bots, can destroy bot fabricators in one shot but is hard to line up (haven't tried bug holes, but I see no reason it wouldn't be able to), AND has medium armor penetration on top of that. The explosion radius is big enough on it I killed a hulk via the back vents through AoE damage. No reason it's armor pen should be any higher. It'd probably be a support weapon if they did that.

Thing is damn good, just takes some getting used to because the projectiles are slow. There are plenty of ways to deal with a hulk, and I see no reason a primary weapon should be able to.

The gun can clear a base's full front area in 1 shot. Would I have liked it to have the ability to do what AT weapons do? No. What would be the purpose in bringing a quasar, recoiless, spear, railgun etc, if a primary did everything? Leaked footage is also a pretty poor thing to put up. Things are put in the game, tested and then balanced (Most of the time.) so you just show us what things that are unfinished, shouldn't be shared.

Biggest point is i can't engage Hulks head has drop of around 100 m yet uses a 200m scope.
Regardless leaked video with other words they MASSIVELY NERFED the weapon to oblivion. Sure it has some nice stuff going on walkers = 1 shot can take out multiple weak enemies with on good placed shot. Il change the first post that it is a leak.

Either you're clown farming in a roundabout way (I didn't read it tbh) or you... should just reconsider. You should be embarrassed.

The Erupter literally only has two drawbacks.

1. Its unweildy as ♥♥♥♥

2. It's overall DPS is relatively low compared to say the Scorcher or Dominator.

But this thing is an absolute monster against bots. Bring revolver for close range or a teammate to cover you, and you can systematically wipe the entire map in front of you with ease.

Overall I would still say the Scorcher, Dominator, or Slugger are probably better choices if you want a well balanced loadout, but to say it's bad is a far cry from the truth

A lot of small talk comming from a ♥♥♥♥♥cat not even give counter points. This thing can't shoot a dent on a hulks face. For the record ive done nothing to you personally im allowed to give my ONTOPIC views like the weapon it self. You should be ashamed clown.

We'll have to wait for a different bolt action weapon for what you want it to do. The Eruptor is an amazing primary that handles medium armor, bile spewers, groups, and destroys factories/nests. My only problem is that it doesn't seem to always consistently kill things in the same amount of shots, but it's still strong asf. You have 4 stratagem slots to destroy hulks but think the primary should do everything.

it has no reason to hurt hulks head on. No other primary can that I know of, except for maybe the scorcher but that isn't direct damage. It's best used with a lighter support weapon, such as the laser cannon, auto cannon, anti-material rifle, one of the machine guns. Sit back a bit and take out slightly larger targets or aim into crowds. Bring EATs if you have the other support weapons. It's a primary, and does a lot more than most primaries are able to do. If you want to kill tank-type enemies like the hulk, bring a support weapon that's made to do so.

it good and no primary is goated enough to deck a hulk head-on anyway, not even the dominator can do that why should this?

[Ghost]

its actually fun lol. shreds in a big AOE. TONS of ammo.

The thing is that got me exited was the ability to one shot a hulk in the face from longer ranges like a sniper where skill and aim is rewarded. But unfortunatley it didn't. Actually this is my biggest gripe with it. And yes its a primary weapon but seeing the leaked videos from the DEVS made it look very good which it isn't. And yes it was testing the gun so obviously the final edition of the gun would behave differently. But atleast target the Hulks weak spot his head.

Why? Its a single bolt action rifle akin to a sniper so you should engage in HIGH value enemies like the Hulk. You can't fire fast enough so choose your target carefully. This means most often it packs damage the tradeoff is SLOW reload and single bolt action shots that's the balance. OP = just aim at body and destroy it now that would be insane.

My point was you were calling it false advertisement because a leaked video from unofficial sources is just a wrong statement.

OP doesn't even own the game lol. No mouse icon next to his name.
