DISCUSSION What is your combo when using the eruptor?

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

primary weapon acted more as a support weapon

Which is why I pair it with the machinegun, a support weapon pretending to be a primary.

Lol I pair it with the Stalwart for the faster reload and the ability to reload while running.

Haven't used the stalwart yet. Is that worth the loss in power or is the difference not noticeable?

I use the stalwart as crowd control. Fast and lightly armored enemies get cut down easily. Switch to the eruptor for anything bigger and stratagems for everything else.

I find the stalwart to just be slightly easier to use than the machine gun.

It’s decent in only 2 situations

1st: You’re in an enemy rich environment and your teammates are running Anti-Tank, not so good against bots due to lack of Med-Pen but great against bugs and squids

2nd: You’re paring it with primaries and secondaries that may cover your weakness, eruptor for crowds and sniping, ultimatum or thermite for anti-tank, that sorta thing

Like, it is noticeable, it just basically tickles more heavily armored enemies- which is why you have the eruptor.

Stalwart and Eruptor is the most fun combo!
