So, a well rolled Erentil FR4 can kill at 27 meters.
See that? 27 meters. Granted this is with great perks meant for mapping like that, but dang. 27 meters.
If super damage resilience gets reduced and this kill range isn't changed, the Crucible is about to be filled with a whole lot of voops. I don't even want to imagine that.
Edit: I only tested to about 30 meters, but apparently a good user can get it to reach our even further to something like 50-70 meters.
Also, realize I didn't scream for a nerf. I literally just opened up a conversation about the Erentil and how it could be a problem now or down the road, as conversation and feedback are literally the point of the forums.
Nerfs are not the only option and a nerf is not the point of this post.
Edit 2: My friend got a roll from Banshee with Tap the Trigger, Firmly Planted, Liquid Coils, the scope (forget the name), and a range masterwork. A stationary target was killed at 70 meters and a moving target was killed at 40. Moving target was a hunter at 8 mobility using stompees. He strafed while ADSing and while not. He also tried running in a straight line across Dead Cliffs. Died consistently at 35-40 meters. (Little bit of variability built in in case he didn't move in a perfectly horizontal fashion.)
Last Edit: To those saying these tests don't matter at all, here's a link to a poll. The results line up almost directly with the test under Edit 2. Granted it's still growing, but there ya have it.

2 RepliesThe one good thing about Erentil and why it isnt already slaughtering everyone is two holdback reasons. 1. Its basically impossible to farm. This is a more irrelevant case than the months prior, with menagerie, but since that is dead, its not commonplace. Due to it being so hard to obtain before, ie gunsmith packages, only the few who managed a god roll from the gunsmith - myself. 2. Its a good gun. A great gun. But you must stack one very important meta caused problem. Almost all other fusions are terrible in pvp. Few exceptions, but Erentil hangs as the best. Shotguns are king, followed by snipes. Shotguns in specific are the most similar to fusions, with erentil being a more ranged weapon. But when you stack on the multiple things going against getting an erentil, you must stack on the unnatural nature of the fusion. Generally, a shotty ape has probably never taken a fusion into pvp, and will possibly become instantly disgusted with the the weapon and go back to their comfort zone, the shotgun or sniper. Only people who see the gun for what it can be see that it can be more. Youtubers do assist with this, and definitely increase the number of people wanting erentils, the aspects fighting it will never make the erentil king of crucible, unless a major change happens.
