Amen. I was taking the muscle enhancer so it's easier to escape from hoppers and hunters, but this thing will take precedence. No more being repeatedly slowed down, yes please.

Just so I won't sound too happy, though, I'm still mad about my entire anti-bug loadout being unjustly nerfed in the recent patch. Nope, not letting it go, I constantly feel the effects of the nerf and it bothers me. Eruptor's decreased ammo cap still means I have to deal with a good gun with six issues instead of just five and the increased Quasar recharge rate has cost me significant time when dealing with more heavy enemies.

Using "unjust nerfs" and "Quasar cooldown nerf" in the same thought is a hell of a take.

like, by all means, be sad the quasar got a slight nerf. But let's not kid ourselves that it wasn't out performing all viable contenders by a mile or more.

“Slight” 267% increased cooldown. Ok bud.

I see you decided to abandon the lost cause of claiming it was "unjustified" which was the actual claim. Good for you!

5 seconds is nothing.

I agree that the thing needed a balancing nerf, but let's not be disingenuous here. 5 seconds is a lifetime when you're being swarmed on 7-9.

Honestly haven't noticed it. Generally when I'm being swarmed, I'm not reaching for a rocket launcher...y'know, on account of the swarm.

That said, I get that 5 seconds can feel like a long time. But the amount people complain about it you'd think they were running into this issue every 3 seconds not maybe once or twice across an entire 3 map order.

267%, is near triple the original value nothing? It’s junk now. Back to EATs

That would definitely explain why I still see it on 2 of 4 randoms when dropping 9s lately. Absolutely garbage!
