Pulled Eruptor into higher difficulty missions (against bots). Still feels great for the most part, but it does somewhat struggle when you have enemies that want to get in your face and don't go down quickly or risk being killed close by. Jetpack troopers were a problem and I imagine it gets way riskier on bugs if you're not running a support that can handle close range. It doesn't seem to work against heavies either, at least not from the front. I just got the bounce icon against hulks. I'll probably keep using it for a while and see how it plays out.

Unlocked the Exploding Crossbow and tried it out in a low level mission as my last for the night. It feels like a sidegrade, worse Eruptor. Faster rate of fire and the bolts explode on impact every time (Eruptor shots may bounce), but it's harder to aim with the gravity drop and seems to do less damage than the Eruptor despite having a higher damage rating. Gravity drop kicks in real fast too; it's not a long range weapon. It also doesn't seem to be able to destroy fabricators and can't open container doors.
