Ergo Sum in PvP, a short story.

Hello Friends, In the last 2 months (and 7500 defeats) I have become an Ergo Sum main. Here's my complaint, great sword, very OP, extremely underused, and very underestimated. Few complaints, ammo is NOT generated unless you generate progress on special ammo bar (ie primary ammo defeats or ability defeats). Now THAT as an Ergo main is fine and dandy; keeps it FROM being overused imo. Here's the downside in the current sandbox; all other specials pick up ammo from crates AND kills EXCEPT Ergo. Ergo is ONLY from bar progress. Ergo also does not SPAWN with ammo nor carry ammo over on death (unlike again, the OTHER special weapons. So I don't know if this can be fixed, or if its intentional. I would LOVE to see more people using Ergo Sum, its VERY overpowered in the right hands, but if it is to be brought into spec with other specials, it needs to be nerfed. Thats a whole....nother....conversation. I included a LINK to some gameplay with Ergo Sum. You can make your own opinions on the matter. The video is from Episode 3, so keep in mind you wont have an idea of the AMMO bug; but you will be able to see WHY its so powerful for PvP. Thank you for taking the time to read and digest this. - Skrimp Edit: I would like to add, that it DOES allow you to 3 peak in PvP IF you have ammo ( I do my BEST to not intentionally use this feature). You cant 3rd person peak without ammo, you cant ready the sword in Comp or Trials without ammo, so thats at least a balancing aspect. I would just LOVE the ability to HAVE ammo in the same quantity as the shotguns, snipers, fusions, & GLs.

  • I'm going to have to disagree admittedly, speaking from my own experience. As someone who's used the weapon, honestly longer than the majority of folks in the PVP environment. I think it should honestly stay the way it is currently. As is, it's a great weapon when earned, but also that your mention on the crates missed a big point here. Ergo does pick up special bar progress from crates, almost half a bar. Truthfully, I do not think the weapon needs touched in the current environment unless special was made even more prevalent.
