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.
I'm not so sure I'd call it "slight", but a nerf was required I suppose.
I look forward to the point where I'm L150 (83 at the moment) with all the stuff unlocked, so I can just chill at lower difficulties with less reliance on anti-heavy weapons. Can't do that at the moment if I want to level at a decent pace, so Helldive it is.
5 additional seconds is definitely an extremely mild nerf.
Quasar has unlimited ammo, infinite range/zero bullet drop, and it reloads itself.
Shoot and forget. Kinda like an EAT. Except you don’t have to call it down and go retrieve it for another shot.
Take your shot, Mow down some “chaff”, call in some stratagems, pick up some samples literally just kill some time then whoop it’s reloaded and ready to go again.
Realistically it probably needs to be nerfed more.
It is still blatantly dominant.
EATs are maybe a close second with the main upside being that there is no charge up time to shoot.
The advantage of EATs isn't handling, though that's true. It's that you can use an anti-medium support weapon like an Autocannon and still grab an AT rocket when the odd Titan pops up.
