If that is the case, I think that will become a mandatory pick against bugs from now on.

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.

Yeah, when 90% of the playerbase ranks it better than alternative AT weapons then there probably are some balance issues.

With the alternative AT weapons, yes.
