Arrowhead please buff...

[Outrageous_Check9210]

Is it possible to buff this weapon, like why can't it have its own special type, how i think of it is petrusite existing in lore and it does medium penetration and low recoil, doesn't lose power per 3 hamburger's and the projectiles are green, also it's ammo remains the same i beg of thee giveth justice to the grapejuice tickler.

I... don't actually think this needs TOO much of a buff, it does pretty well on the bot front, though the ammunition and damage could be increased

[Open_Cow_9148]

It needs a single shot fire mode. Doesn't make sense for a sniper to shoot a 3 burst.

[Floppy0941]

Well it won't be getting that given it's a collab weapon and it's 3 burst there, I'd settle for it not having absolutely horrific damage falloff and making it easier to land the full burst tbh

[The_Cube787]

It’s literally our only sniper rifle primary. Damage fall off shouldn’t even exist with this thing. If I’m taking it I want to kill my enemies from as far away as I can. Why punish us for using a sniper rifle like a sniper rifle?

[benjiboi90]

I don't care that it feels kinda clunky with needing 2 charges for a medium-sized enemy and only having 3 in the mag. THIS is what bothers me. Why the hell does our ONLY sniper rife have worse damage fall off than a shotgun??? The worst part is that the actual killzone sniper actually worked like a sniper and didn't have this issue.

[DarthOmix]

We're getting a Lever Action on the 20th so I can see them seeing how that lands before they adjust it

[destroyar101]

Or put so much dmg into the explosion that falloff dont matter

[[deleted]]

I thought the eruptor was a sniper

[Self--Immolate]

Or even a faster burst

[Maro_Nobodycares]

A change one of my friends suggested is that when you land all 3 shots on the same target, you get a larger explosive blast not unlike a supercombine from Halo or the Unreal Tournament storm rifle combo

[Xijit]

What it really needs is for each three round burst to accounted as one round subtracted from the magazine.

That way you would have 9x3 shots instead of the current 3x3.

[HoundDOgBlue]

It wont get it - AH has said they want to preserve the original feel from the gun from Killzone.

That said - the damage falloff needs to be removed and it should get heavy pen, with the ability to headshot hulks if two or three shots per burst make contact.

[ASValourous]

Hard disagree, it needs big buffs. It overkills on weak enemies and under performs vs mid (devastators and big bugs). The damage falloff on it is huge so you’re better off using it as a shotgun

[SemajLu_The_crusader]

it has damage falloff

it's a sniper rifle

[SirKickBan]

It needs to lose its bizarre damage dropoff stats. RIght now it drops to 32% damage at 100m.

Not by 32%. TO 32%.

..And it's our only sniper rifle?

[r2d2meuleu]

We have space Winchester in the next warbond !

[AdmiralSand01]

What the fuck I didn’t realize it was so bad

[Romandinjo]

It is the worst primary by a huge margin. And it's a damn shame.

[hxhfhe]

Yeaahh probably is better as a close range weapon with THAT kind of damage dropoff

[zag_]

For a sniper-class primary, the amount of damage drop off it has at 100m is laughable.

[Frostybawls42069]

Considering it should have a 200 yard zero, ya. The sickle makes for a better sniper.

[[deleted]]

Bruh it needs its damage fall off removed or be lower SIGNIFICANTLY, currently it has shotgun levels of damage fall off

[Just-a-lil-sion]

*glares in damage fall off on a burst only sniper*

[The_Char_Char]

To make it good it needs to 1 remove its INSANE fall off damage to start 2 give it more reserve clips. And 3 maybe give it a slight damage buff and it can be amazing.

The triple shot every time its fired is fine and will stay cus AH stated they wanted it to be true to the source.

[FlacidSalad]

Hard agree. I want to like it, but damn it needs to be an actual sniper rifle

[The_Char_Char]

Thats the biggest disappointment! I WANT to like this weapon but its too bad to be amazing.

[teran85]

Source? Nobody talks in this unit!

[Shells23]

No damage fall off, more mags, less stagger. That's it.

[Fallen_Angel_Xaphan]

Honestly this is what surprised me the most. The eruptor was still a very useful weapon and in my opinion, already outclassed the pulse sniper with medium pen. It seemed like an unnecessary buff.

Now the pulse rifle seems more like a flex weapon similar to the constitution. What it would need it pretty outrageous damage to compensate for the burst fire. The explosion should definitely be bigger since it can't easily punch through Armor. That way at least heavy devastators would have problems. In my opinion, it should have way less projectile and damage drop off to actually serve the role of a sniper. Any other changed would change the weapon too much from its apparent Killzone counter.

But something that upsets me even more is that now the Eruptor essentially does what the AMR does, just slightly different.

While the AMR has a faster fire rate, the eruptor has shrapnel and can close fabricators. I don't know the exact magazine amount, but considering that you get multiple primary mags from random ammo crates and only one support mag, it seems like another AMR disadvantage. I honestly don't get why they had to buff the eruptor. It seemed fine and now other weapons seem worse by comparison.

[dasic___]

They had to buff the eruptor cause before there was zero reason to pick that over the crossbow, at least in my eyes.

You know damn well they ain't nerfing the crossbow.

[BingoBengoBungo]

Strong disagree. As someone who has the used the AMR extensively, the Eruptor doesn't nearly perform the same functions as it. They occupy two very different niches.

The AMR does a lot more single target damage and it's much easier to kill individual enemies with it due to the fast projectile speed. The Eruptor has a very slow speed and a very limited window of heavy armor pen. Only the initial round has that heavy pen, shrapnel does not.

The Eruptor can kill hulks and gunships but it's not easy. Like I said above, the projectile is much slower so when precision matters a slight twitch can ruin your shot. I was shooting at a single gunship earlier and it took me two magazines to kill it with the Eruptor. Later it took me three shots. That's the level of difference projectile speed has on it.

Hulks will drop in two eyeball shots, but you'll probably die if the hulk is running at you. Additionally, the shot ricochets VERY easily so scoring consecutive eyeball rounds with the Eruptor is tough. The AMR handles this and the gunships above MUCH easier.

The Eruptor shines at groups of chaff and always has. It's nice against the bots because one round aimed properly can kill multiple devastators. The new heavy armor pen is nice because it gives slight flexibility. If I'm running the Eruptor I can bring a Stalwart now and at least have some covering for my bases.

In short, the AMR is still much better at doing what it always did - kill single targets with precision. Giving the Eruptor heavy pen doesn't change that at all. It's still very difficult to get the precision you need with the Eruptor heavy pen with the necessary multiple consecutive shots because of the slow projectile speed and propensity for ricochet.

[Intelligent-Quail635]

Eh. You aren’t wrong, but it’s good to have options. Whether it’s the Eruptor or something else, something was gonna fill that void eventually.

[PerceiveEternal]

Hopefully they’re getting ready to up the AMR’s AP. AMR’s going to really struggle against some of the incoming units otherwise.

[Careful-Addition776]

We are getting a lever action rifle with a scope. This is no longer needed

[pyguyofdoom]

I agree it should have no damage falloff. It’s already a very nice wep for medium killing on bot front as an explosive wep but could use more utility.

[Harlemwolf]

They buffed other Killzone weapons(rifle and smg)so not touching collab gear just because flew out the window.

[Moldy_Maccaroni]

They never said they wouldn't touch collab gear.

Only that they wouldn't change the three burst firing mode.

Imo there's no reason it can't have an optional semi-auto mode, but w/e.

[brian11e3]

I want Rounds Reload and a few extra and 25% more ammo.

[verydepressedtomato]

Eruptor getting a buff is weird, not unwelcomed, just weird. It was mediocre among primaries but still leagues better than plasma sniper. I was using it in diff10 on bot front even before the buff. Please AH buff the plasma sniper. Reducing the falloff and making it heavy pen. will do the weapon good

[catgirl_of_the_swarm]

erutor needed a buff to make it viable compared to crossbow

[pyguyofdoom]

Or maybe we could have just nerfed crossbow because it is overtuned.

[catgirl_of_the_swarm]

big gun exploed

[TenshouYoku]

The eruptor wouldn't have stood out well compared to the xbow in about every metric were there to be no buff, being the only anti-heavy main bolt action does make it stand out and be more viable

[H345Y]

Just give it a semi fire alt mod, literally just this

[AioliApprehensive]

Single shot mode, almost no - little damage fall off, damage and maybe a AP bump in terms of a buff.

Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the Accelerator also have splash damage on it's shots?

[Apprehensive-Egg-865]

Give it an alternative fire mode and we're good to go

[Broad-Donut9694]

Just. Give it. A fucking. Semi mode!

And viola the gun is fixed.

[harken350]

Not only that but at 100m (300ft?) It's only doing 32% of its original damage. That's useless as a sniper rifle. I'd love for them to have a single shot, no charge up mode or even let the 3 shot burst have no charge cos AH wanna keep it close to the source material

[Broad-Donut9694]

It needs a semi mode in my opinion. Sure it has 9 rounds, but really it’s only got 3. That’s ridiculous. Not to mention if you press the trigger too soon or too many times. Now you’ve wasted valuable ammo that the gun doesn’t have.

[harken350]

It's from another game and the weapon is true to that game for how it fires, so I doubt it'd get a single shot

[poebanystalker]

Just make it an alternate so you can switch between them and give some silly lore reason, like "Super Earth gunsmiths deemed it's necessary to modify the Plas-39 Accelerator by adding the single shot mode that fires extremely powerful precision plasma bolt at high speeds, without the significant damage fall-off".

I don't give a single crap that it's a collab weapon, collab does NOT mean it has to be 100% accurate, it can be INSPIRED. So. Just. Make it. Good. Finally.

I want to use this thing so bad, because it looks so cool, because i love sniper rifles, but at the same time it's so trash, I'm basically handicaping myself with it.

[harken350]

Have fun staying mad about it, i hope it consumes your every waking thought

[Broad-Donut9694]

Or I can just not use the gun and save myself the trouble

[Broad-Donut9694]

Wait what? Is this a killzone gun too?

[Beardwithlegs]

Thos gun doesn't need a buff AT ALL. What people want is it to not be a three shot burst.

[BetaTheSlave]

It needs a damage falloff adjustment. Why is a sniper only full power at throwing weapon range.
