When the Eruptor can two shot a charger to the leg, you know we're in business.

[ohtheirny]

The Eruptor is an anti heavy primary. Makes a lot of the other support weapons way more viable like the stalwart. Very exciting.

[jdez]

So basically I can use my Laser Cannon as my primary and use the eruptor as my anti heavy. Interesting

[Valarius_J]

The thermite grenade really should have been a sticky grenade the cracks open (removes) armor on things like chargers and hulks to allow regular weapons to damage them.

[madjackgamingandfitness]

The adjudicator feels like what every rifle style gun suffers from, everything could be improved if they at least had 5 or 10 more rounds in a mag. It feels unsatisfying to have to reload after just 1 kill. You’re often left too few rounds short for the second bullet sponge.

[arizonaanalog]

The Eruptor is fucking incredible. The splash damage is insane

[TwoTwig]

Hmm... ngl I'm a little disappointed with how the thermite grenade looks. Kinda figured it'd do crazy single target damage but that doesn't seem to be the case. Eruptor looks amazing though

[squeezyjibbs]

Wait so you're telling me the EXPLODING X-Bow doesn't destroy bug holes? My pain is immeasurable...

[justintimeboi]

I believe the grenade pistol can destory nests and bot factories so it may be the best side arm to use if you are running stun grenades.

[ryatt]

The grenade pistol is going to be a game changer for bug hive and egg clearing. You can have a more powerful weapon stratagem like the Quasar cannon instead of the grenade launcher and still be able to clear any hive with a quick run around the perimeter, even when solo.
It’s gonna be tough switching from the full-auto pistol, that thing is one of the most reliable sidearms I’ve ever seen in a game.

[michaeltward]

The Eruptor is gonna get nerfed into the fucking ground

[ScamyKAZE]

Stalwart mains are creaming their pants looking at the eruptor. Looks like a fun pairing

[nerine]

So Eruptor feels like What Anti Material should've been.

[Joseph-mwrl]

The grenade is actually the best grenade in the game if you want 4 snowballs to throw at hulks

[Soulshake]

Really like this type of video, to introduce the new stuff. Short, precise and I got all the info under 4 mins, plus no begging for likes & subs. Got my sub now, thank you.

[SeraphsWitness]

Thank you for not having obnoxious commentary and an 11-minute runtime.

[akirachisaka]

Holy fuck you get 8+1 shots for the Grenade pistol!?
I imaged you get 2, or 4 shots if lucky.
This really brings a lot of utility.

[Extavia_qt]

that crossbow looks like a slower firing version of Scorcher.

[MireKubiczek]

So now you can take Stalwart as your primary, Eruptor as antitank/antieverything and also still rock shield pack. Feel free to send illuminate, we good :D

[mjohnsimon]

I really like the BR-14 (against bugs), but its ammo count is so low that it's almost next to useless in higher difficulties. It really is a weapon where you have to prioritize targets while communicating with your teammates. The Eruptor is honestly a pleasant surprise, especially since it can blow up bot fabs! It's basically what the Anti-Tank rifle _should_ have been, and it gives me hope that the JAR Dominator will get another damage boost soon.

But imo, the winner is the Grenade Pistol. It's a must-have when using the Sickle. Now you can reliably close bug holes and use the stun grenades to put chargers in their place while having infinite ammo with the Sickle. It's a great combination, especially with bugs.
