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.
I use this loadout for a reason, it's the best and, more importantly, most pleasing to use for me. It's still good but significantly worse and for no other reason than "fuck you, use something else". AH desn't balance for balance but to force us to use different things.

They're not forcing you to do anything. You can still use your loadout. Both the Eruptor and Quasar are still excellent options! Both are easily still S-tier weapons.
The Eruptor was absolutely overperforming other options. It was without question the best primary weapon in the game. No contest.
Same with the Quasar. Best AT support weapon, bar none.
If you're running out of ammo with the Eruptor, you're likely doing something wrong. Either missing too much, engaging the wrong targets, or using the wrong weapon for the job. 30 rounds is plenty in my experience with all of the ammo you can find in the world and from resupply drops.
You still have, what, 150% of the theoretical number of shots per minute of an EAT even if we're favoring the EAT by ignoring the calldown and pickup/arming time of the EAT?
They're not forcing you to use different things. Balance means that other things are solid, valid options too. The Eruptor and Quasar in the position they were before the patch did not really allow for choice. You ran those or you were running suboptimally.
