I've used the eruptor and autocannon with flak and it seems autocannons flak is a very diet eruptor. Where eruptor can one shot a whole group of hunters, there's times where it takes more than two shots to kill even one hunter with AC Flak.
@s0da197 it doesn't feel that way to me at least, but I suppose it could just be personal experience. It's nice to have the option but as far as crowd control support strats go nothing holds a candle to the arc thrower to me.
@@s0da197 no the autocannon can switch anytime it and has over 5x the fire rate, double mag size and ammunition that actually deals with devastators, gunships hulks and like everything.
@@comradetonk8280 Pair it with a Machine Gun and you essentially get a much better primary in exchange for a slightly worse support weapon. Like pairing a Liberator on steroids with a diet autocannon.
@@sinteleon Not to mention it's one-handed so you can carry SSDs or use it with the Ballistic shield for Bots, and it has a quiet shot so it's more stealthy.
@@jmaster2855 yes but we're talking about bug nests here. :p In regards to bots, yes crossbow has those benefits, but eruptor has a way easier gunship kill. (Though honestly I just bring commando instead)
Eruptor+stalwart+jump pack is one of my favorite bug builds. I use the stalwart as a primary/horde clear, eruptor for bug holes and peskies like hive guards & spewers, and jump pack for maintaining distance
When clear vision of a Bug Breach is there, I fire one round of the Eruptor in te middle. Instantly picking away multiple smaller one's, leaving less trash to take out. Also like them for Bot Drops, if it's filled with smaller Bots one well placed shot is to end them all.
I think you said it well, the biggest realisation that will improve your enjoyment with the eruptor is that you must treat it like a grenade launcher, not a sniper rifle.
3 Bonus tips: First tip applies to pretty much all weapons, but reloading with ammo still in it is faster. Second tip, if you reload with ammo in it, one shot will be left in the chamber, so always reload at 1 bullet remaining and you will have 6 shots in it and reload faster. Third tip, swap to your secondary right after firing, the moment your secondary spawns in your hand swap back to the Eruptor. This can easily triple your fire-rate, making it a devastating horde clearing weapon.
You can hot swipe stalwart and eruputor with essentially zero down time :) Useful in the current order (deciding which machine gun is the best) (((Does not work with machine gun/HMG because there is a delay for firing after swiping, sad :(
I was never impressed with this gun, but apparently I’ve been using it wrong. I always would aim for direct hits. The AOE would still kill close enemies to the target, but not to the same effect you were getting by intentionally shooting boulders or the ground. I’m gonna have to give this another shake later. Good job on the video, subbed.
Pretty sure you can actually manually reload at zero rounds aswell for the same faster reload animation. But I remember this from before the buffs so maybe it got changed.
Bugs? Bot? Soon to be Squids? I don't care. Before the nerfs, during the nerfs and after the buffs I've stuck with it. It's my favorite gun and I refuse to throw it in the trash.
Yeah, it's so funny. Ever single, one of the TH-camrs I've seen using the Eruptor never use the reload cancel, and it makes me wonder if they do it to avoid attention being brought to it, or if they genuinely don't know.
@@ripHalo0002 Right after firing the Eruptor, swap to your secondary or support weapon. Wait for about half-ish a second (it doesn't work if you do it too quickly) and swap back to the Eruptor and you can fire it again. If you can't fire it immediately after swapping back to it, then you did it too fast. Get the right timing and you can just do that over and over until you need to reload.
@@Shadow6OOwell you amswered yourself, have to change between weapons to animation cancel it, so its just better and easier anyways to reload on one bullet
I found it works well on bots with peak physique and the MMG used as a primary instead, then you can use it to wipe out small groups, take out fabricators, and take out scout striders in 1-2 hits. Then just take thermites for anything bigger or badly angled fabricators.
Kinda. For most things yes, but the cb still doesn't have quite as much range and no shrapnel. Whether or not that makes a big difference for most people is debatable (I myself have mostly been running cb for bots), but it's definitely still got that edge for taking out bugs at a distance. I like to run it on bugs with the stalwart and jump pack
Eruptor is better crowd clear. Firing it into the middle of a bunch of bugs is awesome. It's decent against those trios of berserkers and clustered patrols of bots too. It also falls off way less, so it's awesome at killing fabs and closing bug holes from a distance. Personally I almost never use the crossbow but I use the Eruptor all the time as an AOE sniper rifle.
@@BouncingTribbles it is not, while it does clear mobs the crossbow has better RoF, so by the time you shoot one mob with the Eruptor, you already shot 3 with the xbow and the xbow does the same thing with the fabricator and holes from distance, just need to practice the projectile fall off, also the eruptor projectile has a penchant of bouncing off stuff that the xbow don't.
Additional tips Jump pack and Stalwart are your best friends with this weapon, they help bring the build to a new level, you can basically run the stalwart as your new primary weapon which is pretty solid tbh. Getting to a higher elevation via jump pack helps you get a better angle on shooting crowds of enemies, it makes mopping them up super easy and you don't have to guesstimate that you're both firing at a steep enough angle and actually getting the explosion within range of your targets. Then, two tips for increasing dps One, the Eruptor's animation for racking another round can be canceled via swapping to another weapon then quickly swapping back (tricky to get down at first, but if you practice some you'll get the rhythm down and it'll stay with you), this roughly doubles your fire rate which can make suppressing bug breaches and clearing bot patrols a lot more reasonable. Two, you can significantly shorten the time it takes to reload by reloading immediately after firing a shot. Counting your shots so you always reload on 1 round left is strongly recommended as it can reduce the reload time to under 1 second by reloading at 1 round left immediately. That and it's a viable alternative method for taking out structures, but Eruptor tends to work better on Bug side than bot side.
1:30 yeah i really hope they add programmable rounds to this thing like the weapon it's seemingly designed after. being able to look through the scope and tag somehow to set airburst range would be awesome
Laser Cannon is great for dealing with devastators, hulks, and bugs that get too close, I've also been trying out the new buffed jump pack and heavy armor to be able to take and run from any swarming bugs
Eruptor can one shot a gunship. I can't do it consistently, but I see it fairly often. Also, can one shot a stalker, which is one of the few cases ill pull it out to do more then close holes or take medium range potshots at bugs.
I bring this for base defend mission (the 20 mins one) on terminid mission. It’s perfect as you’ll be expecting bugs to walk towards you, making it a more predictable use
This bad boy right here is my main gun, running it with the grenade pistol and the thermite grenades makes me the base/giant enemy breaker of the group.
Eruptor + Big Iron + Stalwart/HMG + Jump Pack is my preferred loadout for bugs when I want to have some fun as "heavy boi" with a jetpack. Extra points for using Twig Snapper Armor for that extra handling
You missed something that's extremely important; the bolt animation can be skipped by switching weapons. Do it well enough you about double your fire rate. Fire, switch (for at least long enough for the crosshair to change), switch back, fire.
not going to mention the quick fire trick by swapping to your secondary weapon and switch back or quick reloading by always leaving one bullet left in the chamber.
Amazing review. But I’ll stick with my crossbow til they give it back the cluster bomb shrapnel back. Best part is it’s like the brother to the eruptor
The Eruptor is not really back, it still sucks. It needs roughly: Reduce shrapnel range by 50% (?), increase rounds per mag by 4-6, increase rate of fire by 50%. Let people get more shots out over time to offset that it doesn't [randomly wipe out 80% of a bot pattol with 1 somewhat nearby hit] anymore. The shrapnel mechanic is honestly DAH.
When I bought that war bond, it was for the eruptor. And whe I finally got it (during the no shrapnel era), I was disappointed, because its stats sounded like with the explosion (helped with the penetration level), you would be killing devastators and hulks in one shot as long as it would be close to the face/eye, but that wasn't the case. A bit later, a few weeks before they added back the shrapnel, I decided to give it a second chance on the bug front. And damn that ended up being a great experience, even before the buff. Now I run it almost all the time against bugs, often coupled with the arc thrower. Nothing stops you. I believe it deserves two buffs/fixes, they should absolutely cancel the bolt action animation on the last bullet of the magazine fired, and they should consider giving it more range to fit the 200m scope range, even if I would understand if there are some reasons why they don't do it.
The Eruptor should be a bigger, slower, more explosive Dominator with similar power AP4 jet rounds. Oh, and the range should be increased to maximum of the map, with a *proximity fuse* set to 0.2 seconds (so it will not explode before striking a surface, but will if it goes near one). It would make the thing so much more useful and fun.
Oh, didn't test the bullet range limit now... so much for the shrapnel coming back -.- Welp, at least the Xbow is fucking kickasss now with an even larger ammo capacity!
Would be nice if they add another version or different ammo like the halt that gives us a AP round that doesn't explode but has AP4 pen so we can take out heavier units like hulks. Make it a proper anti material rifle
Okay, so the reason WHY the Eruptor was so OP intially. is because the coders used the shrapel from the Orbital Airburst stratagem intially. Which, is frankly just an absurd mistake to even make in the first place.
The eruptor has been my baby since it was released. I only use it as my primary lol. It's a bolt-action bolter. Easy solution for the shrapnel, Personal Shield. problem solved. Loadout - eruptor, SMG pistol, LMG/Stalwart, Personal Shield, Air-strike, 500 KG, For the bots, I aim for the head or the arms. it usually one shots medium armor enemies. I bring this baby into Super Helldive against the bots. Serves me incredibly well. People forget the Eruptor has medium pen. Hit the body/Head it's basically a one shot on most bots/bugs. Sure, The Shrapnel wont go very fair/anywhere. But it'll kill what you shoot. Only other gun I'd be willing to use for the bots (As a primary), Would be the Shotguns. Punisher Plasma or the Pumpy.
How to use the Eruptor: (Tought by a professional Eruptor user) [1] Shoot enemy [2] Win. {Optional} [3] Keep on shooting untill it dies. This has been a very educational by a very profesional Eruptor user, your very welcome.
Fun fact get a second one. Instead of bolting it pick up the second one slamming the first one into the ground and the bolt and the receiver gets a new bullet. Eruptor good now
I want you to do that thing that no one else has mentioned yet! :) Is the liberator p any good now? Or does the 60 round magazine make the liberator concussive any better? What is the absolute state of the liberator family?
Lib P is fine. Just fine. Before the buff you needed 1 mag minus some change to kill a dev. Now it takes half a mag. Personally i think the ttk is still too long. It's a more accurate less damage adjudicator. If you can master the adjudicator's handling, just use that. But yes you can take lib p onto d10 without feeling like you're doing nothing. The lib concussive is great if you feel enemies are too fast. Seeing as how stagger is king on bugs, you can never go wrong with it. The 2 other variants are solid damage wise, but seeing as they have neither armor pen nor stagger, it's hard to find a place for them in any of my builds.
They definitely need to buff the fire rate and reload speed. Maybe a tiny bit more damage to 1 shot striders and i think itd be at the perfect level for the current game
I honestly quite like to use the eruptor on bots. For example when being chased by a bunch of berserkers diving forwards and Shooting back is a good way to deal with them since the get staggered by the explosion and i tend to Run explosive resistance and or shield backpack. Also you can take Out normal striders by simply shooting their front shield, about where the slit is. Also its quite nice against bot drops as you either take out or at least heavily dmg them before they even drop. Had a few instances where a bunch of troopers grouped Up so tight that i got 16 kills in a single shot 😂
So many weapons would benefit from a "release trigger to explode" mechanic. Shriekers and distance would no longer be a problem once you got good with it and would give you a reason to use it over the superior fire rate of the crossbow. And for gods sake just make it so you feed a round every time you fire and get rid of the slow ass reload all together.
honestly after a bug game with it i thought it would be BETTER against the bots, being basically an explosive sniper rifle, i'd have time to sight and plink the weakspots. but turns out, im just bad with it against bugs and need more practice.
The flak rounds the autocannon got have a lot of shrapnel so it seems to have been buffed into a full auto eruptor
I've used the eruptor and autocannon with flak and it seems autocannons flak is a very diet eruptor. Where eruptor can one shot a whole group of hunters, there's times where it takes more than two shots to kill even one hunter with AC Flak.

The lib concussive is great if you feel enemies are too fast. Seeing as how stagger is king on bugs, you can never go wrong with it. The 2 other variants are solid damage wise, but seeing as they have neither armor pen nor stagger, it's hard to find a place for them in any of my builds.
They definitely need to buff the fire rate and reload speed. Maybe a tiny bit more damage to 1 shot striders and i think itd be at the perfect level for the current game
i love running this thing with a stalwart
2:28 we fire the whole bullet, that’s 65% more bullet, per bullet.
I honestly quite like to use the eruptor on bots. For example when being chased by a bunch of berserkers diving forwards and Shooting back is a good way to deal with them since the get staggered by the explosion and i tend to Run explosive resistance and or shield backpack. Also you can take Out normal striders by simply shooting their front shield, about where the slit is. Also its quite nice against bot drops as you either take out or at least heavily dmg them before they even drop.
Had a few instances where a bunch of troopers grouped Up so tight that i got 16 kills in a single shot 😂
I use the Eruptor with the shield backpack on bots at diff 7-8 regularly. Pretty fun.
Do a video on the Pummeler, I don’t think it gets enough love over creative ways to use the stun feature
Great video :D
So many weapons would benefit from a "release trigger to explode" mechanic. Shriekers and distance would no longer be a problem once you got good with it and would give you a reason to use it over the superior fire rate of the crossbow. And for gods sake just make it so you feed a round every time you fire and get rid of the slow ass reload all together.
I run Eruptor with Anti-mat evwr since it came out. Was pissed when they removed my shrapnel
honestly after a bug game with it i thought it would be BETTER against the bots, being basically an explosive sniper rifle, i'd have time to sight and plink the weakspots.
but turns out, im just bad with it against bugs and need more practice.
Eruptor my beloved ♥️
You should really do a vid like this covering different types of loadouts against bots and bugs
have you tried shooting the armpit for devastators for bots?
Never stopped using the eruptor
5:55 holy shit is that Wave Race ??!!
Nicely done! If I can, I'd like a video on the Sterlizer gas sprayer and gas damage in general if you haven't done one already?
Yo your editing is fcking amazing lmao
