I’m weird, I love the Jar-5 Dominator. I just finally grinded out and got the Scorcher last night and it was pretty cool.
However, I’ve been in scenarios where I’ve been surrounded by bots and the stun and damage given by the Jar 5 was able to buy me enough time to get away.
I think they upped the stagger on the Dominator last patch. I just wish the gun wasn’t so slow to aim! It feels like aiming through molasses.
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.
Balance is in a pretty nice spot for a young game. I think there will be some tweaks, but there’s a lot of viable builds, which is ideal.
Hopefully they can find out what to do with the HMG and a few of the others.
MG and HMG seem fairly okay, not as desirable as other weapons, but MG at low level is still pretty useful.
The Stalwart, though, I have no idea when I’d ever want to bring that. What is it’s purpose?
Stalwart shines when you use it as your primary because your actual primary is a bootleg support weapon (for example the eruptor)
