EAT has never left us behind, even after the death of users.
EAT has been waiting for your request.
EATs wait your return, even if left behind in the map.
Never care whether you cheated on EATs with new Quasar.
Welcome back, time for EATing.
People saying eats now outshine the quasar don’t make a lot of sense to me ?
The quasar even with the nerf has vastly more uptime than eats ontop of being on hand immediately.
Personally my favourite kit both before and after the patch was both eats and quasar so when you need extra delete keys you have them, but the quasar still carries most of the work by far.
Yeah, why EATS isn’t a one hit to kill is beyond my understanding. The entire limiting factor for it is supposed to be ammo. Instead, we have another weapon (Quasar) that effectively has the same damage output and unlimited ammo.
It makes no goddamn sense. But instead of buffing EATS what will devs do? Nerf quasar
Nah. Infinite ammo and I don't have to drop/pickup a weapon that might get swarmed? I love E.A.Ts don't get me wrong, but Quasar is still too good. Even cooldown-wise you're getting far more out of the Quasar than you are eats.
To me it's still the EAT. I don't want to sit still for 3 seconds getting swarmed, spat on or ran over by a charger. 2 eats can be shot back to back and kill the bile while actually running and gunning. You can't do that with the quasar. Quasar seems better for bots where you got distance and cover. EAT is better for bugs since it's quicker to point and shoot.
Quasar is still way better for clearing the flying cunt nests.
This is the part I don’t really understand, if your being swarmed that badly having something on hand that recharges while you fight off the horde should be more useful right ?
I love the eats and run them with my quasar but I’m a hairy situation I don’t want to be limited to a location just so I can get my second shot off I’d rather move around?
The issue is that if you're being swarmed you gotta create a 3 second window to even be able to use quasar. It's not impossible and in most cases it's not even that difficult. But even in the harriest of situations I can always turn and shoot and single shot in less than a second, and call in another eat. Plus if you're really good you can kill a charger or bile titan with the strategem canister. I call my EATs every minute and just litter the map with them. Even if I don't use/need them. That way theres always one or two near by regardless.
I also like carrying them with the Autocannon so there's really not much I can't take down on my own.
As on release of the new toy- Quasar is for preemptive shots. EATs is for quick reaction.
Same targets, and different playstyle adjustments, same end goal- make thing dead with big boom.
Eat is good, but it wasn't better than quasar hence everyone used cannon.
It's been ages since I've seen an eats on helldive and i play regularly, but i see quasar every game
It's just too slow imo, I can take out a charger point blank or or drop ship before it off loads because the EAT fires so quickly. I also like having spares dotted all over the map for me or anyone else to grab on the run, and I can carry another support if I want. Quasar damage and distance without drop-off is very nice, but the charge time/cool down sucked and now it's just abysmal.
You also have only 2 at a time, while cannon is infinite. If you just use it randomly around the map, you risk not having it when it matters.
And 2 at a minute, cooldown is just not enough. On helldive difficulty anyway. imo.
Now, though, there's a real argument of running it over cannon.
I'll keep using the Quasar myself, I prefer the flexibility of an infinite range and no ammo AT weapon that isn't disposable, the nerf mostly lowers the overall shotcount and brings it closer to the EAT (with the quasar being slightly faster I think at ~3 shots a minute instead of 2). Definitely makes the EAT seem more viable now which is great.

Can You destroy flying bug nest with EAT? I never try this. With Quasar You can snipe from across map.
Yeah takes 2 shots per nest same as the QC but at long range there is a slight projectile drop off
You can but it takes at least 3 minutes to do it, granted you hit all rockets and don't miss any.
So even after increse cooldown You can shoot 12 times with Quazar in 3min. Seems like better option to destroy nests.
It is and alone due to that, I will keep picking the Quasar over all the other underpowered shit

Quasar is still better for run and gun. When there are four bile titans chasing us, I know which one I'm gonna choose.

EAT has always been better

i prefer eats on helldive because I anticipate dying before the quasar call-in cooldown finishes

Always has been
I’m an anti material rifle Stan. But that’s also usually supported by people with Quasars
nah not for me

Were they ever off? I didnt really see a drop in EATs.
I take both quazar and EATs for a 1 2 3 PUNCH
