    I tried the new Eruptor last night. It was cool destroying factories and one-shotting the scout striders. But it just felt soooo clunky. Then I switched back to the Scorcher and proceeded to murder everything in sight. I don’t think I can give it up.

      Something I just leaned: if you switch to another weapon for a couple seconds, the eruptor magically cocks itself with the next round!

      I didn’t get to try the eruptor on bots yet but it jams on bugs as long as you have a backup like stalwart or rover. It can close bug holes, 1 hit mediums (stalkers included) and the shrapnel spreads well enough that I was regularly getting 5-10 kills when firing into crowds.
