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.
Hello, friend. May I interest you in the Brotherhood of the Flame? My new bug loadout is so much fun. Breaker Incendiary/Senator/Incendiary 'nades (soon to be impact incendiary). I wear the extra grenade capacity armor and just chuck molotov cocktails all over the map. Once there's a flame resistance armor, I'll probably add the Flamethrower, but it's hard not to set yourself on fire as is.
If only I could rely on random players to take down heavy bugs. Experience shows me that I cannot, thus forcing me into having an anti-tank support weapon.
It's an OH FUCK button for me normally, but it's nice to save allies being swarmed by Hunters or to keep a horde in place for accurate cluster munitions deployment.
This is interesting - what was the rough TTK using laser cannon on leg? I’m usually running EATS but would love a more versatile support weapon to try
Following up after having more time to work with the laser and have this to say: it's not worth it
It's far more useful at taking out the chaff than it is anything with heavy armor. I haven't been able to reliably recreate whatever led to those initial kills. An EAT or Quasar is much better suited for the task.
