I think you can use the grenade pistol offensively, just take stun grenades and a build that likes stun grenades, and it will be like having both stun grenades and impacts. You get 2 grenades per resupply, after all. Of course the impacts can't be used for a main source of damage, they are best used opportunistically. My main problem with it is that its actively bad with the eruptor. Eruptor is basically a grenade launcher and can fill the same role, and it's so slow to reload and horrifically bad in close quarters that you NEED the autopistol. Eruptor is also, by a LARGE margin, the best primary against bugs and bots. Against bugs the only caveat is that you need a support weapon or jump pack to deal with enemies up close. Actually playing against bots with something like eruptor and AMR (good combo don't sleep) makes the autopistol feel like your primary weapon. Its what I run around holding. I can't imagine playing with a secondary that has 9 shots.

I am glad you enjoy it, but I personally vastly enjoy the diligence far more. While I am not exactly into the battle rifle style, I still easily do with the diligence when I need to because it one taps bots to the body. The adjudicator just doesn't have the damage I need. That is my problem with the gun, the damage is to low. You don't need medium armour penetration to break through the smallest bots, and it takes more than a full mag to drop a medium bot. In my experience, taking the time to line up two headshots is faster and more ammo efficient. In the end, to each their own, though I do love the look of it!

I like the penetrator but it doesn’t pack enough punch for me to use it on bugs who generally have heavier medium armor targets that seem to have a higher health pool or in general have less weak spots. This is where the judicator shines. From my experience you can kill a bile spewer in 8-10 shots to its medium armor face and the leg and head shield warriors in 5. Allowing you to take on medium armor bug patrols no issue while the penetrator doesn’t have the damage output to finish them off completely but has good stability for bots who have more exposed weak spots in the front

The Eruptor easily steals the show with this one. It's insanely powerful per shot, and has decent ammo capacity. The explosive nature of the bullets and the slow handling doesn't allow you to use it in close quarters engagements without risk of killing yourself, and on the same note you can't realistically shoot near your team mates either. Because of how powerful it is as a primary, it opens up a stratagem slot for something else that can cover for it's close range weakness or inability to cover your teammates.

Both are meant to hit like a truck. Battle rifles/DMRs are often chambered in 7.62mm and assault rifles (M16/Liberators) often in 5.56mm.

"What makes me a good demoman? WELL IF I'D BEEN THAWED OUT LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I AM DOIN' THEN I MIGHT BE ABLE TA ANSWER YA!" I think the vigilance might be fine with a recoil drop to 30 and one or two extra magazines carried. Or, far more generously, 30 rounds in a mag. But the big one is the combination that each shot is not worth enough to make it likely that you will only be shooting things once or twice, but then the recoil makes shooting it a lot at anything like full speed impractical. Truly a worst of both words like you said, but it wouldn't take too much tweaking to get it out of that rut and make it respectable. The grenade pistol isn't "it only carries 9 rounds" it is "it carries a whopping 9 rounds, or two of your thrown grenade pouches." Then from there, it restores like any other grenade from supply pickups and causes ammo pickups to also restore two of its impact grenades. The choice to equip it is "spend your sidearm equipment slot to have a generous quantity of extra powerful long range impact grenades that restore from ammo pickups, but have to be reloaded between throws."

See a lot crying about the new DMR but I found it to be the best in type with a damage per hit and RoF usable (semi auto, full auto is a Nono) against EVERYTHING. The recoil and handling of DMR in general need an overhaul so attacking one weapon for that is pointless. Could use more spare magazines but combined with the simple cross scope it’s remarkably well balanced. when you compare it to all the other med-pens it’s double danger per hit with similar ammo to the lib-pen (so WAY better vs enemies you need med pen for), same damage per mag as the counter sniper but far more aim/controllable, pun-plasma stuns and has decent sudoku AoE but adjudicator is point n click, slugger fires 7 times slower (over-killing trash mobs), Jar/eruptor are simply beasts but landing those shots is HARD work vs small fast enemies like hunters or that slim MG robot you REALLY need dead but keeps flinching your aim away from his body (or that rocket devastators head). I was half thinking the “it’s bad” complaints were half assed versions of the memes about “eruptor is bad”. vs “vanilla” guns it does around 80% of their damage per mag with comparable or sometimes superior DPS (pinpoint, most shotguns understandably hit VERY hard but spread that damage around beyond ~25m) while also having a variable zoom scope. Alas the thermite is the exact OPPOSITE to what i wanted from burning magnesium and rust. No fire, no DoT of note and it finishes with a boom, so it sticks to an enemy then they run at you then it goes boom AND THE ENEMY ISNT DEAD (tho odds are good you may be). Utter trash Eruptor is a beast with lots of spares ammo but a lowRoF and a self-sudoku level of AoE. Not got the rest yet.

I'm still a few medals off from getting the pistol and crossbow, but so far by the sound and look of it, I *might* get the pistol, and that's about it. The Adjudicator felt bad enough to me that I ran it for one mission and haven't touched it since (seriously, at that point I'd rather run the Lib Pen or Diligence CS, more likely the latter), the GL pistol sounds useful but mostly just for destroying stuff (which the Eruptor can do just as well), and the Crossbow, despite some of the kinder words I've heard towards it and the numbers, just looks absolutely pitiful to me. I'm not even gonna bother trying my thermite grenade until it gets buffed/fixed, so it looks like the only things I'll be using from this Warbond are the armors and Eruptor - and the Eruptor is mostly just for fun, because I honestly think I'm better off using the AMR as my long-range weapon and supplementing it with EATs and Eagle Strikes than I am taking the Eruptor and supplementing it with the MGs or Arc Thrower or something. The main pro it has over the AMR is that it can destroy holes and fabs, but you still need something else to handle tanks and turrets, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk, I enjoy it but overall I'd personally say the weapons from this Warbond seem like a flop to me. Especially the thermite grenade; I was so hyped for that...

While its damage and recoil made it a poor choice for gunfights, I found that its cleaner scope and ridiculously forgiving sound profile more than made up for it by allowing for very effective stealth play. It felt as quiet as the Scorcher, if not even quieter. Infiltrating bot bases was super easy to do so long as I was careful to land headshots on the infantry lookouts, and I could get away with firing the weapon from extremely close up without raising any alerts. The full auto mode was something I pretty much only used on Berserkers and occasionally Devastators and Hive Guards that I needed to dispatch especially quickly while retreating. Otherwise I would stick to semi-auto fire and just try to go for headshots.

Spend more time with eradicator. I run it like the post patch dominator. Would also be comparable to a slugger, I think. I don’t use it for horde clear. I used it to eliminate medium bugs. That’s the ideal niche. If that’s the niche, you need a horde solution and a heavy solution (bugs). So, rover, and quasar. Let the rover eliminate the littles. If a medium shows up hit it with the eradicator. Heavies get quasar. Almost any bug dies to a single hit, and often multiple of them that would otherwise take multiple shots a piece. Hunter? One shot. Nursing spewer? One shot. Stalker? One shot. Brood commander? One shot. It has a huge impact on the fight. Plus, you can open containers and close bug holes with it. Level 90. I only do full clear and only play difficulty 7,8,9. Eradicator. Redeemer. Incendiary grenade. Light medical armor. Quasar. Rover. Airstrike. 120mm barrage. For holes you have: 4 grenades, 65 primary rounds, airstrike that close 2-3 per throw, and 120 that will solo anything fewer than 10 holes. Plus the quasar recharges. For breaches you have grenades with fire, airstrikes, 120 if multiple in an area, and also a primary with an 8 yard radius that one shots almost all bugs. Plus a rover that will go to town. For hordes you have the constant work from the rover, plus the grenades for patrols walking through choke points, airstrikes, and for clearing a large space the 120. For mediums you have the eradicator. The rover works on some, but that eradicator will eliminate them well. Plus airstrikes in a pinch and the 120 works to clear a large space. For heavies you have the 120 for multiple in a small space, airstrike which is killer after the new ship module upgrade, and the quasar. Don’t forget about calling in a second quasar to hot swap between them and fire rounds twice as fast.

I was playing on Helldive and using the autocannon, and the thermite saved me a couple of times when a hulk was chasing me and I was out of ammo in my autocannon didn't have time to reload.

Crossbow seems like let down. Feel like it doesn't do alot of damage. Can't close big holes. Projectile is really slow. Seems to have alot of draw backs.

The adjudicator is a battle rifle at least it feels like. Felt like I was using the g28 from bf3 The thermite grenade I was hoping would allow me to open up a chargers leg to allow me to kill them Love the eruptor

The Adjudicator drops devastators in 2 headshots, It should be treated as a marksman rifle to get the most value out of it. Its a solid weapon, nothing amazing.

The crossbow should close holes and fabricators. Why it doesn’t is beyond confusing.

its sad that the adjudicator is so horrible, i was expecting it to basically be a semi-auto only AR with a heavy emphasis on precision and tracking, but the recoil and handling are so poor that it just isnt usable for that role at all and is instead every bad stat from the ARs and DMRs combined.

I think puting the adjucator in the DMR category and not in a dedicated "Battle Rifle" one was a mistake. The gun still would be a let down but at least it would feel a little less bad since it's supossed to be a bigger caliber assault rifle and not a dedicated marksman gun.

The termite grenade is definitely bugged. After testing it for hours i had a rare situation where it killed a cannon turret with a single throw. So yea, when it works it works, the problem is that 9 out of 10 times the DoT damage doesn't do anything even when you are the host

It would be cool if we had options for different optics for every gun, atleast the primaries. I feel like it would improve the variety of weapons used a lot.

@takibo you really should try gas strike onto bug breaches. i use this in all difficulties. consistently will kill anything below hive lord that comes out of the breach until the breach ends

Honestly I wish the adjucator had a better scope. The recoil ain’t bad since you use semi auto mainly but the scope is so bland

I feel like the marksman rifles would benefit from high damage multipliers when hitting weak spots on enemies.

The new granade had a flare effect in my experience, I throw it on the ground and it seems the enemies are chasing it instead of me. I might be wrong on this. Can you help me test and reply to my comment?

I think the crossbow is meant for bugs. killing lots of small enemies. Its struggles to kill something like a devastator or spewer

Thermite made needs to be one and done for chargers and hulks, two to kill a bile titan. Anything less and there is no point in running it over the other options.

I heard the penetrator has a better headshot multiplier in line with the dmrs. Is that true? Does it carry over to the adjudicator?

Crossbow is just a worse grenade launcher Thermite grenade is the worst grenade so far Adjudicator is the combination of the worst traits from ars and marksman rifles Eruptor is a great rifle but having the bolt close when you run out of ammo makes no sense, leave the bolt open and ready to reload Eruptor also has a lot of shrapnel when it impacts, so shooting enemy legs makes a nice explosion that can net you 3-13 kills Pistol grenade launcher is nice utility weapon, especially for closing bug holes The passive only reduces shuttle drop down by 12 seconds in the 2 min wait time, barely worth it
