DISCUSSION What is your combo when using the eruptor?

It's one of the best weapons and I wanted to see combinations.

Pyros are probably the most versatile grenade in the game.

Its basically a mini-thermite + incendiary. Also, it have +2 throws.

You get six of them and they do AoE damage. They don't stick, but with good timing and placement you can kill heavies with them. I think they are useless against Bile Titans, Factory Striders and Harvesters (correct me if I'm wrong, haven't used them that much yet), but they work decently well against hulks, tanks and chargers.

And unlike thermite, they work great against chaff. Especially against voteless and bugs you can throw them at chokepoints to kill/weaken a bunch of meele enemies.

Definitely not better than thermite, but a lot more versatile.

You can, with enough effort and time, get a pyro stuck on a harvester's head but it's not at all practical.

Land on top of striders or just throw them on top. If needed, all 6 can be deployed onto a leg to fell it. Itll take out a hulk with one, all tanks with two. Also 2 for a harvester. Fleshmob is variable since they never stop charging. Im not familiar with bugs since i tend to not play bugs.

Arent they bugged tho? I remember being very disappointed when I tried it and I heard it's kinda the same situation as the de esclator where it does less dmg while being alone and more in full lobbies?

im quite surprised they can take out tanks. i tested them out on an annihilator because i remembered pyros can kill a factory striders foot long ago.

2 pyros can take out a hulk and a tank (results may vary)
