I don’t deny that erentil is a formidable weapon in crucible and has been for some time. There’s another side to the coin though. I believe it is much more prevalent in crucible due to the extremely high requirements for Randy’s throwing knife scout rifle (medals in particular). It’s widely known that the cold fusion medal is one of the most efficient medals to earn and since the erentil is so effective at getting them it becomes a more common choice. I’m currently working on that step myself and also using erentil for it. Without it the progress becomes a slog that I much rather have my time spent in other parts of the game. Normally I use primaries, well, primarily when I play crucible but this fusion has become a necessary evil to accomplish an inflated grind. If this step were not as heavy or present at all I doubt folks would abandon the gun outright but I do think it’s percentage of usage would go down considerably.
