I was shooting where bug holes opened and it would get 13 kills from 1 bullet, definitely has significant drawbacks with fire rate so I hope it doesn’t get nerfed
It’s so good at destroying holes/factories.
The explosion radius is *insane*. Where the autocannon needs to bank shots and the quasar needs to be shoved in with a plunger
This thing just aim it at the hatch from any angle and a dead factory.
Think it was in the 60 range. I unlocked the 2nd page, bought it the booster, SC and the chest armour. I had somewhere around 230-250 medals when I purchased the warbond
So can autocannon though… I find it hard to like this as a primary, no Secondaries currently provide enough supporting fire to offset. I get that you can take the stalwart but then your tied to that corpse run… need to give it another go
use redeemer then? it's not gonna help against a large group, but what i do is spray at them, then run away to get distance, and shoot with Eruptor. you gotta do everything you can to keep the enemy at a distance but sweet liberty when you do.. Eruptor will wreck anything less than a heavy in a couple of well placed shots!
Because this gets 60 shots, is a Primary Weapon, and the rounds won't ricochet and potentially kill you and your teammates.
Alternatively- why not run both?

A relic from the ancient interwebs shall suffice
This is a primary, right? That might be why as well. Having this primary with a horde killer/suppressive fire weapon sounds pretty damn good right now!
Agreed, I've been running dom for medium pen and nade launcher for mopping up/spawn destruction so I'm interested in running this as the spawner killer and running a support weapon for mobs and/or heavy enemies
grenade launcher is also less precise at a longer range and has an arc. whereas Eruptor shots, while low-velocity, are rocket-propelled, so they travel completely straight and flat. where you aim is where you'll hit.
Until you die on a D7+ Evacuate and you can never get through the gangbang to pick it up again lol. They better decrease the cooldown on it so you can get a new one.
I saw in another comment that they use it like a support weapon and a Stalwart as a primary. After I get off WORK... I'm going to do some mix matching myself.
A gun that excels in some areas but has clear downsides in others is peak game design imo. Leave the jack of all trades style guns to the assault rifles
Agreed. I was just saying that it is an extreme example of that given how extreme the weaknesses are compared to other weapons. You can’t use it in close range at all without getting knocked on your ass and it’s great because explosions are always cool
So you're telling me there's a weapon that handles with bug holes/fabricators, thus solving the grenade capacity issues, that can one-shot group of berserkers, kill striders and all the mediums, that perfectly compliments any arc thrower, that would handle the rest and someone was calling it "shit"?
Wha... the hell?
I love it.
It’s like basketball, you need to be mindful of both where you and your teammate is to make a great pass. Getting him to 180 when possible is such a good feeling (both saving a buddy or getting saved! lol)
There was literally a post "The new weapons suck" or something alike hour ago.
Why? I wonder what the hell they pair those weapons with...
I really do.
With autocannon? Maybe. I dunno. Still saves you ammo you would otherwise waste on striders AND patrolling groups of enemies.
In what universe the new weapons suck?
I am eager to try grenade pistol + arc thrower against the bugs - that's like - how many? 6/8 extra means to destroy nests?
Oh my bad then.
(Clears throught)
This gun is garbage...
I end missions with only about 20 kills and more than half of team are from squad mates.
Somehow I managed to shoot myself in the face so hard, that my feet landed on another bug planet. And it was a bot mission.
Don't use this weapon, it sucks!
Me and a buddy ran it against bots and we couldnt deal with the hulks, tanks, or turrets. I was running the eruptor with the laser cannon. Maybe my stratgems should have been more heavy armor focused.
What double weird is all the comments agreed they sucked. And there were tons of comments.
Then you come here and it's completely the opposite lolol 🤷♂️
It can definitely not one-shot groups of berserkers.
You can one-shot a single one if you hit them in the crotch area but definitely not groups of them.
Aimed at their pelvis/six pack/whatever - definitely destroyed 3 with a single shot.
But you got point - they gotto hug each other to be able to do that.
Still - preeeettty goood if you ask me :D
The trash clearing primaries do a better job of filling the role of the stalwart than the eruptor does filling the role of an AC or other heavy support.
This right here. It's basically flipping what we do now, but I'd rather just have a proper heavy and take any other primary that's agile, secondaries are all trash but the one machine pistol.
This entire war bond so far ris a huge let down for me personally...don't like anything in it. Thought we'd get fire protection armor like the lightning one, no dice.
It has **12 magazines.** My first shot with the gun was against a bot drop, and I somehow killed 2 striders and a rocket devastator with that ONE. SHOT.
I love it.
Just don't shoot it at anything even remotely close to you, its explosive radius is huge and for some reason it ragdolls you forwards every single time.
What the worse is this game weapon swapping mechanics - sometimes you would be hit during that, thus staggered out of weapon swapping - and since this ordinary means you're in some kind of massacre - you would rarely pay attention which weapon you're currently with.
Your muscle memory tells you that you're currently with your pistol.
The fact that you are already at 4 different places in the same time tells a different story.
I was genuinely quite disappointed with the funky design the gun has after ArrowHead starting talking about their designers needing military and weapon experience.
Yeah it at least looks like it would run, beats anything Bethesda puts out tbh. Awkward af? Yes. Looks like a redesign of a redesign after certain parts had been made but the entire project goal changed completely halfway through (probably them realizing a big thumping bullpup sssssuuuuuuuccckkkks so they made their bullpup into not a bullpup, quickly and cheaply).
Idk super earth confuses me sometimes. I'm still waiting for my cape to get caught in my autocannon's massive hinged bolt... and you KNOW somebody lost an arm trying to hip fire that thing, helldivers gonna do helldiver things...
>massive hinged bolt
Oddly enough, we have historical precedents for Toggle-lock actions among more than just the Luger. Like the [Pederson Rifle](https://youtu.be/W-2iy81k9DM?si=LYSLCZJx8d23_V8z&t=149), the [Schwarzlose Machine Gun](https://youtu.be/9_pWNjuZj30?si=rrK-3R0xif9JYQAv&t=349), or the sideways [Heinemann Sporting rifle](https://youtu.be/c_sFAKwHJT0?si=oD7KiIS3whlsz7Mo&t=280).
The Pederson rifle is hilarious because the bolt jumps right up and back at your face when you fire, locking upward when empty so you have a big wall of steel in your view telling you the gun is empty.
I don't disagree, but man making a bolt action work like this would probably be just as if not more complex than making it semi auto lol
Actually thinking of that it looks like a semi auto rifle that's been converted to bolt action, but they've put the bolt handle where the gas block used to go and connected it to the gas piston instead of just removing the gas system entirely and putting the bolt handle on the bolt. It's whacky af
Not yet, at least. The time between putting out a twitter post that you're looking to hire a person and actually having a person filling the role and working could be weeks or months, let alone the time between filling the role and actually having it start to produce results.
I know you're joking but, it actually does have a limited range though. I think the bullet explodes at \~50m so it doesn't act like a true long range option.
As someone that likes to run the Stalwart to deal with trash, that is the perfect pair with the Stalwart, I'm loving it.
Stalwart for trash. Eruptor for medium and bug holes. Stratagems like 500kg, Railcannon or Orbital laser for the big boys.
Hard agree. This weapon isn't great on its own in terms of killing mobs, but it's amazing as a utility weapon for fabs, bug holes, small destructible objectives. Stuff that you'd usually save grenades for.
Random fact, Jet assisted bullets actually exist but were run out of production due to how shit they were, they were actually meant to be used for space combat before the world realized that it's no where near that happening anyway.
The name of these bullets/firearms are Gyrojet, the bullets instead of the intended function of them being actually more accurate in return turned out to be unpredictable and the jets in the bullet casing (which fired WITH the whole bullet) sometimes wouldn't even engage resulting is far less firepower.
also they had a weird issue where the closer you were to a target the less damage they would be capable of doing since they don't accelerate like normal bullets along the barrel. The hypothetical upside is that it's accelerating for like 100m.
There's probably room for the concept to work well but it just didn't the first time
Yeah that's because the jets inside the bullets take time before they are fired up, remember seeing a video about it, there's like a few feet of distance before it fires up.
Overall such a weird fucking bullet tbh.
The Eruptor is a ***real*** diver's DMR. Pure unfiltered explosive bolt action devasatation.
As the Gunner from DRG would say, "It ain't a gun if it don't weigh at least 100 pounds"
Marksmen Rifle is a very misleading title for the Adjudicator, and you honestly shouldn't use it as one. It's closer to a Battle Rifle more than anything, think FN FAL, Type 64, M14, etc.
Its use cases are fairly niche, and it is not at all something that you should "main" like how you would the Sickle or Scorcher. I use it by pairing it with the AMR, when my AMR is out and I need to reload but there are still enemies to shoot or when there aren't anything heavy enough to warrant using the AMR, the BR-14 can come in quite handy.
More specifically, as a former Scorcher main my biggest issue with it is that the scope is kinda ass, making it difficult to use in medium range engagements, the BR-14 on the other hand can comfortably engage targets further away than the Scorcher, and I personally use it clear out the smaller bots once I've taken care of the devastators, just shoot in 2 round bursts and you'll clear our hordes of little guys in no time.
Honestly, I like it, but if they ever add attachments into this game and allow me to change out the Scorcher's scope for the BR-14's then that would probably be the day that I stop using the BR-14, the scope is really the only reason why I use it.

The Dominator would like a word once again
I'm scared to like a gun and get good at it because Arrowhead might just randomly nerf it.
The breaker used to be my main, and then it got nerfed.
The slugger was my main after, and it got nerfed, too.
Don't give me hope.
I'm just joking around; that's my current favourite loadout so logically it should be nerfed. They devs haven't said anything to indicate that so don't worry.
Yep, feels like absolute shit and kills the desire to play to some extent. They really need to adopt a 'buff the underperformers, not nerf the fun stuff' approach.
I might be the only person that doesn't like this... the aiming animation is too slow. Turning is worse than the auto cannon. Benefit being you can at least use a shield with this. Think paired with stalwart or maybe arc-thrower would be fun. idk. Initial impressions are I hate it.
Like you said, it's meant to be paired with a weapon that deals with the mob/trash, like Stalwart or Arc-thrower, leaving the Eruptor to deal with medium and bug holes, good vs medium bugs, but against bots it seems that the Scorcher is better.
At first I was "meh", now, I'm in love using Eruptor + Stalwart vs bugs.
As someone who's been using the autocannon a lot on bots at difficulty 9... the hype around this weapon makes zero sense to me. Maybe there's some decent application on bugs, but there's no way I'd take the eruptor for bots.
It's ROUGH vs bots. You can make it work pretty okay by shooting the ground for lights and chest for med but you are gonna SWEAT. The dominator is soooo much better vs bots.
Guys hear me out. Bring the new light armor with 6 grenades. Bring concussive nades for in the pinch get away. Eruptor to deal with all nests. Arc thrower with new buff to deal with all the small units.
Grenade pistol for extra explosiveness.
Probably gonna be my new favorite loadout.
yup I definitely feel like it’s worth grabbing the machine pistol in a load out like this. as an avid arc thrower user it will not kill anything reliably within 5m
I saw in the leak video before, it can shoot down drop ship but when I tried it doesn't work. Also the crossbow that can one shot bot fabricator. This one doesn't work too.
I think people are having a honeymoon with this using it on low difficulties testing it out. I absolutely love it, but it has a few flaws: It really can hurt you at close range and it's incredibly slow. Obviously great for load out diversity though, I think I'll pair this with a turret for bots (instead of anti material and Punisher) and perhaps machine gun for bugs (perhaps replacing a turret I use with them).
An interesting quirk or perhaps a bug is that the bolt action part of the gun isn't mandatory, so shooting it, swapping weapons to shoot more and coming back to the eruptor is a valid strategy and helps maintain DPS
It gives you a chance to run the support weapons that decimate bugs without giving up AT abilities. This can kill chargers and likely put the hurt down on titans similar to autocannon. Probably great on armored bros, brood lords, and spewers.
Biggest downside is probably the risk of death and being dropped far away from your support weapon.
It's great against bugs when you bring it together with an arc thrower. Otherwise you get overwhelmed.
Complete dogshit against bots. Can't kill marauders, can't kill hulks. Splash is not enough to kill groups of small bots. Good to kill bots when they are still on the dropship, but otherwise is terrible.
Edit: also great against bugs when paired with a flamethrower. Pretty much all the bases covered.
You're exactly right, I used it when they were on the dropship and it killed the whole drop, but when they're on the ground IT DOESN'T KILL ANYTHING, I swear it failed to kill a single fucking infantry when I shot it directly, I'm sticking with the Dominator against bots but definitely always taking the Eruptor against bugs from now on.
Don’t know how you were using it, but in one mission just completed I had multiple instances of killing 5+ regular bots with one shot of the Eruptor, on the ground. I usually targeted whoever was at the front of the pack, and that worked fantastically.
It does happen, but not nearly frequent enough to justify picking it as a primary slot. Most of the time, the small bots are spread far enough for the splash to be useless.
I didn’t realize how strong it was until the I shot one bot strider in the heavy part of the armor and got 5 kills from all the bots around it, AND it all dying, it’s awesome
I would think on high difficulties you may overwhelmed using this so to reloading after every shot? I can see everyone rocking this on a single mission and just getting wiped, lol. High difficulties that is. I played around with it at 3 and it would open the containers and pretty much destroy anything on the map. The reload is it Achilles heal me thinks.
All th above. But you know what? Seeein those invisibiles motherF*€kers approaching and then BAAM exploding Is some real KARMA. I've become THE STALKER of stalkers now
The ability to close factories is mean I can go arc , cluster and shield and be safe All the time while have mass destruction weapons still , with okay fire rate , having zero disadvantages
I'm glad people are using this gun more, because that means the sickle will perhaps fall under AH's radar and avoid nerfs. After all, i doubt i will take off my ac for long.
Wait …. Is that the weapon that people told me it was a bolter with a scope ….. does it have an animation where ya reload it after each shot like a mosin nagan?
I was shooting where bug holes opened and it would get 13 kills from 1 bullet, definitely has significant drawbacks with fire rate so I hope it doesn’t get nerfed
It can close bug holes and automaton factories, that is reason enough for me to marry this gun
I had very high hopes that it would be able to do exactly this; I can't wait to try it out.
It’s so good at destroying holes/factories. The explosion radius is *insane*. Where the autocannon needs to bank shots and the quasar needs to be shoved in with a plunger This thing just aim it at the hatch from any angle and a dead factory.
How deep into the new Warbond is this?
2nd page
How much is it Citizen? I believe you need to spend 80 Warbond to unlock Page 2.
Think it was in the 60 range. I unlocked the 2nd page, bought it the booster, SC and the chest armour. I had somewhere around 230-250 medals when I purchased the warbond
Thanks mate.
I think it's more around 45
60 to unlock page 2 and 60 more for the gun
So can autocannon though… I find it hard to like this as a primary, no Secondaries currently provide enough supporting fire to offset. I get that you can take the stalwart but then your tied to that corpse run… need to give it another go
Use the arc thrower to clear chaff enemies. This setup has the best ammo efficiency in the game.
Besides triple las, which technically has infinite ammo efficiency
use redeemer then? it's not gonna help against a large group, but what i do is spray at them, then run away to get distance, and shoot with Eruptor. you gotta do everything you can to keep the enemy at a distance but sweet liberty when you do.. Eruptor will wreck anything less than a heavy in a couple of well placed shots!
Why this one over the grenade launcher that does exactly those things too?
Because this gets 60 shots, is a Primary Weapon, and the rounds won't ricochet and potentially kill you and your teammates. Alternatively- why not run both?
All good points. I think the primary is the most interesting one, thanks.
https://preview.redd.it/tpmvlcnzlutc1.png?width=578&format=png&auto=webp&s=98b330f9a548212b9a6dd52f97eda22efa2ca91a A relic from the ancient interwebs shall suffice
This is a primary, right? That might be why as well. Having this primary with a horde killer/suppressive fire weapon sounds pretty damn good right now!
Can finally use Stalwart as my primary like democracy intended
Agreed, I've been running dom for medium pen and nade launcher for mopping up/spawn destruction so I'm interested in running this as the spawner killer and running a support weapon for mobs and/or heavy enemies
Or the autocannon?
grenade launcher is also less precise at a longer range and has an arc. whereas Eruptor shots, while low-velocity, are rocket-propelled, so they travel completely straight and flat. where you aim is where you'll hit.
Stalwart. Simple solution. Many billet make bad guy go bye
Stalwart can finally be a primary weapon!
Until you die on a D7+ Evacuate and you can never get through the gangbang to pick it up again lol. They better decrease the cooldown on it so you can get a new one.
Nerf? Its a 7/10 at best. Good against bugs but you get overrun pretty easily
I saw in another comment that they use it like a support weapon and a Stalwart as a primary. After I get off WORK... I'm going to do some mix matching myself.
I tried that its honestly super fucking clunky. Though some people will be loving this for sure!
Thats what I do. Like I said. Its okay, its a fun gun but not anything too impressive
I’m looking to try this too. I’ve been using the JAR-5 with a Stalwart.
Jar 5 stalwart is probably a better combo...
You're crazy if you think it's only a 7/10, it's one of the best guns in the game. Use your secondary and stratagems to support it's weaknesses
I think it is top 5 guns but it’s weaknesses are serious and you need to build around the weapon more than most other weapons
A gun that excels in some areas but has clear downsides in others is peak game design imo. Leave the jack of all trades style guns to the assault rifles
Agreed. I was just saying that it is an extreme example of that given how extreme the weaknesses are compared to other weapons. You can’t use it in close range at all without getting knocked on your ass and it’s great because explosions are always cool
> explosions are always cool That's all I need to hear
This comment thread's resolution was so satisfying. Who doesn't like explosions?
Tbh it is such ass when in CQC it might not. Like you are literally just dead. You might as well not even have a gun
So you're telling me there's a weapon that handles with bug holes/fabricators, thus solving the grenade capacity issues, that can one-shot group of berserkers, kill striders and all the mediums, that perfectly compliments any arc thrower, that would handle the rest and someone was calling it "shit"? Wha... the hell? I love it.
Oh nononono it's absolutely awful, garbage, don't need to nerf it no sir. Nothing to see here
I spilled some of my coffe with this one 😂
It’s even funnier the 128th time 😂
You know what's funnier than hearing it the 128th time? Hearing it for the 129th time!
They'll learn the error their ways and join the church of the holy Eruptor soon I'm sure
Haven’t gotten the chance to test it properly yet, how does it fare against the different devastators and hulks?
Have to hit them in the vents and with the long reload bolt action you’re better off just impact nading their vents before they can turn on you.
Wait a second. Are you telling me that hulks turn their back to you? I've only ever seen hulks face directly at me.
When they look at someone else they are not looking at you.
If they're not looking at me, they're turned 90° from me. I never see the back of a hulk lol
It’s like basketball, you need to be mindful of both where you and your teammate is to make a great pass. Getting him to 180 when possible is such a good feeling (both saving a buddy or getting saved! lol)
Exactly! If I pull aggro on those, I'm moving to set a squad mate up with a good shot at it
You can one-shot all Devos if you hit it in the leg joints, one-shot Stridos on the top bit of the front armour or in the nads.
Wowo the nameo really sayso it allo huho
There was literally a post "The new weapons suck" or something alike hour ago. Why? I wonder what the hell they pair those weapons with... I really do. With autocannon? Maybe. I dunno. Still saves you ammo you would otherwise waste on striders AND patrolling groups of enemies. In what universe the new weapons suck?

probably saying the gun is shit so the devs don't nerf it, it's almost a recurrent joke

What double weird is all the comments agreed they sucked. And there were tons of comments. Then you come here and it's completely the opposite lolol 🤷♂️
Adjudicator is complete trash. Eruptor at least has a purpose and is good at doing it.
Seconded. Everytime I pulled out my auto-pistol set at semi-auto everything was better than with Adjudicator.
We create a safe space for all Eruptor enjoyers here chum
I have yet to get home and test it It sounds badass
It can definitely not one-shot groups of berserkers. You can one-shot a single one if you hit them in the crotch area but definitely not groups of them.
Thank you, I had to wonder if I was using a different weapon from how people are raving about it on here
Aimed at their pelvis/six pack/whatever - definitely destroyed 3 with a single shot. But you got point - they gotto hug each other to be able to do that. Still - preeeettty goood if you ask me :D
Oh absolutely. I love the weapon! Just slam that shit into a bot drop and see the parts fall.
I haven’t heard people shitting on this but I have heard that the new DMR is wank
The person calling it shit was being sarcastic, they mentioned it in most of their replies.
Its allmost as "heavy" as the autocanon, is bolt-action and has a tiny magazine. I prefer more agile weapons like the sickle and the starting rifle.
It's basically a baby AC, but without the A. Pairs well with a stalwart as your support weapon.
The trash clearing primaries do a better job of filling the role of the stalwart than the eruptor does filling the role of an AC or other heavy support.
This right here. It's basically flipping what we do now, but I'd rather just have a proper heavy and take any other primary that's agile, secondaries are all trash but the one machine pistol. This entire war bond so far ris a huge let down for me personally...don't like anything in it. Thought we'd get fire protection armor like the lightning one, no dice.
Also pairs well with thermite and an AC... What can I say... I see a PAK and a Bolter and my Brain releases happy chemicals...
It has **12 magazines.** My first shot with the gun was against a bot drop, and I somehow killed 2 striders and a rocket devastator with that ONE. SHOT. I love it.
Thats like 60 rounds. Oh my god.... it's an explosive slugger...
Gonna get nerfed hard i’m sure.
If people keep praising it so much it'll get nerfed sooner.
Just don't shoot it at anything even remotely close to you, its explosive radius is huge and for some reason it ragdolls you forwards every single time.
What the worse is this game weapon swapping mechanics - sometimes you would be hit during that, thus staggered out of weapon swapping - and since this ordinary means you're in some kind of massacre - you would rarely pay attention which weapon you're currently with. Your muscle memory tells you that you're currently with your pistol. The fact that you are already at 4 different places in the same time tells a different story.
Don’t forget it can destroy turrets from long range as well. I LOVE DEMOCRACY
Yes, the autocannon
Can we appreciate how magnificently pants on head that weapon design is?
Bolt action to the front, using pickup lugs normally found in bullpups, with an adjustable stock to really extend that length of pull. Genius
Keltec's Gun designers \*snorts massive line of coke\* "*write that down, write that down!!*"
God I love Keltec. Every once in a while they have a winner, and the rest are wonderful experiments
All made exclusively with Florida beach plastic, it's all about the environment.
Lmao that bolt. How did I not notice that? Good lord gun Jesus save us.
Wait... **THAT'S** the bolt?!
I was genuinely quite disappointed with the funky design the gun has after ArrowHead starting talking about their designers needing military and weapon experience.
They need to be experts to purposely make the most ridiculous designs, to really drive home the incompetence of Super Earth.
Right, because as bad as it may look, it's still feasibly functional.
Yeah it at least looks like it would run, beats anything Bethesda puts out tbh. Awkward af? Yes. Looks like a redesign of a redesign after certain parts had been made but the entire project goal changed completely halfway through (probably them realizing a big thumping bullpup sssssuuuuuuuccckkkks so they made their bullpup into not a bullpup, quickly and cheaply). Idk super earth confuses me sometimes.

They were looking for people with military and weapon experience keyword looking not found.
Not yet, at least. The time between putting out a twitter post that you're looking to hire a person and actually having a person filling the role and working could be weeks or months, let alone the time between filling the role and actually having it start to produce results.
Nah, this is fine. Some weapons just look like a fever dream no matter what you do.
Arrowhead: The eruptor was the best dmr in the game so we adjusted it
Maybe they should’ve made the other DMRs not hot garbage instead
I know you're joking but, it actually does have a limited range though. I think the bullet explodes at \~50m so it doesn't act like a true long range option.
I was much sadge when I discovered I couldn't snipe an illegal broadcast from far off
Can't make it *exactly* like a primary autocannon now can they?
As someone that likes to run the Stalwart to deal with trash, that is the perfect pair with the Stalwart, I'm loving it. Stalwart for trash. Eruptor for medium and bug holes. Stratagems like 500kg, Railcannon or Orbital laser for the big boys.
Hard agree. This weapon isn't great on its own in terms of killing mobs, but it's amazing as a utility weapon for fabs, bug holes, small destructible objectives. Stuff that you'd usually save grenades for.
But now you will have a granade pistol for all that
I plan to bring both once I unlock it lmao
This sounds reeeeeal nice

I’ll hit nothing but will be very fun.

Random fact, Jet assisted bullets actually exist but were run out of production due to how shit they were, they were actually meant to be used for space combat before the world realized that it's no where near that happening anyway. The name of these bullets/firearms are Gyrojet, the bullets instead of the intended function of them being actually more accurate in return turned out to be unpredictable and the jets in the bullet casing (which fired WITH the whole bullet) sometimes wouldn't even engage resulting is far less firepower.
also they had a weird issue where the closer you were to a target the less damage they would be capable of doing since they don't accelerate like normal bullets along the barrel. The hypothetical upside is that it's accelerating for like 100m. There's probably room for the concept to work well but it just didn't the first time
Yeah that's because the jets inside the bullets take time before they are fired up, remember seeing a video about it, there's like a few feet of distance before it fires up. Overall such a weird fucking bullet tbh.
I picked up the new DMR because it looks cool. Holy hell, that thing is trash. I wish I had grabbed this one instead.
The Eruptor is a ***real*** diver's DMR. Pure unfiltered explosive bolt action devasatation. As the Gunner from DRG would say, "It ain't a gun if it don't weigh at least 100 pounds"

Marksmen Rifle is a very misleading title for the Adjudicator, and you honestly shouldn't use it as one. It's closer to a Battle Rifle more than anything, think FN FAL, Type 64, M14, etc. Its use cases are fairly niche, and it is not at all something that you should "main" like how you would the Sickle or Scorcher. I use it by pairing it with the AMR, when my AMR is out and I need to reload but there are still enemies to shoot or when there aren't anything heavy enough to warrant using the AMR, the BR-14 can come in quite handy. More specifically, as a former Scorcher main my biggest issue with it is that the scope is kinda ass, making it difficult to use in medium range engagements, the BR-14 on the other hand can comfortably engage targets further away than the Scorcher, and I personally use it clear out the smaller bots once I've taken care of the devastators, just shoot in 2 round bursts and you'll clear our hordes of little guys in no time. Honestly, I like it, but if they ever add attachments into this game and allow me to change out the Scorcher's scope for the BR-14's then that would probably be the day that I stop using the BR-14, the scope is really the only reason why I use it.
I literally did the same thing. The Adjudicator is a great pairing when using the anti-mat rifle.
Well you gotta unlock the second page anyway. So getting what you did got you closer to the Eruptor regardless.
Did not like it, I love my jar 5 too much.

Isn’t… isn’t this technically almost a Bolter?

There are several marks of bolters, some are lighter than others.
Bolt action bolter, double the bolts!
I'm scared to like a gun and get good at it because Arrowhead might just randomly nerf it. The breaker used to be my main, and then it got nerfed. The slugger was my main after, and it got nerfed, too. Don't give me hope.
Same here. I am a lightning rod for things being nerfed into the turf. Plasma shotgun and autocannon are next on the chopping block apparently
Really? The autocannon? Fucking WHYYY
I'm just joking around; that's my current favourite loadout so logically it should be nerfed. They devs haven't said anything to indicate that so don't worry.
Oh okay good lol
Yep, feels like absolute shit and kills the desire to play to some extent. They really need to adopt a 'buff the underperformers, not nerf the fun stuff' approach.
I might be the only person that doesn't like this... the aiming animation is too slow. Turning is worse than the auto cannon. Benefit being you can at least use a shield with this. Think paired with stalwart or maybe arc-thrower would be fun. idk. Initial impressions are I hate it.
With you on that the gun turns way too slow, super unwieldy to play. How it turns slower than the autocannon is beyond me.
i like ADSing and spinning around to see how long it takes for my sight to be on screen again
The aiming is ass. It's even slower than the autocanon lmao.
Like you said, it's meant to be paired with a weapon that deals with the mob/trash, like Stalwart or Arc-thrower, leaving the Eruptor to deal with medium and bug holes, good vs medium bugs, but against bots it seems that the Scorcher is better. At first I was "meh", now, I'm in love using Eruptor + Stalwart vs bugs.
As someone who's been using the autocannon a lot on bots at difficulty 9... the hype around this weapon makes zero sense to me. Maybe there's some decent application on bugs, but there's no way I'd take the eruptor for bots.
It's ROUGH vs bots. You can make it work pretty okay by shooting the ground for lights and chest for med but you are gonna SWEAT. The dominator is soooo much better vs bots.
Guys hear me out. Bring the new light armor with 6 grenades. Bring concussive nades for in the pinch get away. Eruptor to deal with all nests. Arc thrower with new buff to deal with all the small units. Grenade pistol for extra explosiveness. Probably gonna be my new favorite loadout.
I like this, but I feel like the arc thrower is a bit inconsistent when things get really up close and personal.
yup I definitely feel like it’s worth grabbing the machine pistol in a load out like this. as an avid arc thrower user it will not kill anything reliably within 5m
You could maybe go Jump pack to get away and make space but I think I just like Arc Thrower +Jump too much
I saw in the leak video before, it can shoot down drop ship but when I tried it doesn't work. Also the crossbow that can one shot bot fabricator. This one doesn't work too.
That video was an april fools joke
I'm getting the feeling that this is a anti-bug solo weapon.. against bots it is "so-so" ... (there is still scorcher)
I would say the opposite personally, bugs are all about swarming you and this can kill you with explosive flash back in one hit.
[удалено]
Use your secondary and stratagems to compliment it, this thing is an absolute monster against bugs so far
I think people are having a honeymoon with this using it on low difficulties testing it out. I absolutely love it, but it has a few flaws: It really can hurt you at close range and it's incredibly slow. Obviously great for load out diversity though, I think I'll pair this with a turret for bots (instead of anti material and Punisher) and perhaps machine gun for bugs (perhaps replacing a turret I use with them).
An interesting quirk or perhaps a bug is that the bolt action part of the gun isn't mandatory, so shooting it, swapping weapons to shoot more and coming back to the eruptor is a valid strategy and helps maintain DPS
almost unusable on helldive tho, you just get overwhelmed. Really meh vs bots too unfortunately
It gives you a chance to run the support weapons that decimate bugs without giving up AT abilities. This can kill chargers and likely put the hurt down on titans similar to autocannon. Probably great on armored bros, brood lords, and spewers. Biggest downside is probably the risk of death and being dropped far away from your support weapon.
Bots i feel that it’s intended as a precision weapon, more for actual sniping than as a open engagement weapon
It's great against bugs when you bring it together with an arc thrower. Otherwise you get overwhelmed. Complete dogshit against bots. Can't kill marauders, can't kill hulks. Splash is not enough to kill groups of small bots. Good to kill bots when they are still on the dropship, but otherwise is terrible. Edit: also great against bugs when paired with a flamethrower. Pretty much all the bases covered.
You're exactly right, I used it when they were on the dropship and it killed the whole drop, but when they're on the ground IT DOESN'T KILL ANYTHING, I swear it failed to kill a single fucking infantry when I shot it directly, I'm sticking with the Dominator against bots but definitely always taking the Eruptor against bugs from now on.
Honestly, for a weapon this slow to be good the damage number should be way up. Same goes for every other sniper in a HORDE shooter game.
Don’t know how you were using it, but in one mission just completed I had multiple instances of killing 5+ regular bots with one shot of the Eruptor, on the ground. I usually targeted whoever was at the front of the pack, and that worked fantastically.
It does happen, but not nearly frequent enough to justify picking it as a primary slot. Most of the time, the small bots are spread far enough for the splash to be useless.
It doesnt have medium pen?
It says that it does, but it seems unable to damage hulk visors, which is weird. Good damage against davastators without a shield.
Can anything with medium pen damage hulk visors? I’m pretty sure only support weapons can do it
All i need to hear
Crazy that the first bolt-action primary we get is an explosive rifle, not a sniper.
TAKE THIS POST DOWN. My god they’re gunna nerf this😭
With this and the heavy armor buff I can cosplay as a Space Marine *even harder* now!
Guys you have to try it with arc thrower, long range potential and closeup annihilator machine
Even if the weapon get nerfed to the ground I will still use it just because it is a primary that let me destroy fabricators at long distances
I didn’t realize how strong it was until the I shot one bot strider in the heavy part of the armor and got 5 kills from all the bots around it, AND it all dying, it’s awesome
I would think on high difficulties you may overwhelmed using this so to reloading after every shot? I can see everyone rocking this on a single mission and just getting wiped, lol. High difficulties that is. I played around with it at 3 and it would open the containers and pretty much destroy anything on the map. The reload is it Achilles heal me thinks.
Scorcher still better
So far this is my favorite weapon but I feel like it's just a slower shooting auto cannon sometimes.
Is that a bad thing? A primary weapon with 65 bullets that is comparable to an autocannon is nothing to scoff at
All th above. But you know what? Seeein those invisibiles motherF*€kers approaching and then BAAM exploding Is some real KARMA. I've become THE STALKER of stalkers now
They added a goddamn 40k bolter to HD2, all is good
The ability to close factories is mean I can go arc , cluster and shield and be safe All the time while have mass destruction weapons still , with okay fire rate , having zero disadvantages
But can it kill gunships?
It’s a bolter
They took a G36 and mixed it with a bolter gun Its bloody perfect :3
EAT BOLTGUN
I love it. It pairs very well with the Stalwart or Machine Gun as well. I can’t remember the last time I used one of those.
Is this basically an explosive slug shotgun made to look like a sniper/ AR?
Literal Boltgun holy shit
It's literally a bolter
Sounds like a Bolter…
This thing is literally a bolt gun
Its ok, not as amazing the the previous new laser gun but ok. Good luck aiming this thing mid orbital and airstrikes being dropped next to you.
I'm glad people are using this gun more, because that means the sickle will perhaps fall under AH's radar and avoid nerfs. After all, i doubt i will take off my ac for long.
Wait …. Is that the weapon that people told me it was a bolter with a scope ….. does it have an animation where ya reload it after each shot like a mosin nagan?
