The AR-32 is the new eruptor

When the crossbow first got buffed the sentiment in this sub was that the eruptor was not good enough to compete and was a useless weapon. Whereas a small contingent of players saw the load-out variety it provided and allowed it as an option regardless of the state of the weapon.

In my humble opinion the AR-32 is the same. It’s got medium pen and a more useful stun than the liberator concussive. It’s what the concussive wishes it was.

Sure the time to kill isn’t amazing, but you don’t take it for time to kill. You take it to get predators/berserkers off your ass. To stop a rocket devastator to lay into your position. To stop a flamer hulk from running down your teammate.

It’s the primary weapon substitute to stun grenades. Just like how the eruptor was the primary weapon substitute to explosives. It’s more than good enough for the load-out variety it provides, unlike the liberator concussive.

Complaining that a gun with medium pen and a useful stun is not doing enough damage is honestly a skill issue problem. If it did any more damage what would be the point of the liberator penetrator?
