What's your thoughts on Explosive Rounds?
Is using explosive rounds worth it? I know it takes some of the damage off of your main shot and spreads it out.

7 Repliesnoobs cant handle this blessing and think it lowers the precision and firefly damage lol

4 RepliesYes. With a full auto scout, with Firefly and explosive rounds. Money.

I love em
-
Takes away damage and ruins perks that require precision kills. Hate them

2 RepliesThey are bad, I'll use my 365 FateBringer as an example. With Field Scout, I do 1900+ crit damage. With Explosive Rounds, I do 1300+ crit damage and an extra 300 spread out to the body of an enemy. That's ~300 less damage total. IMO not worth it. The only time I'd recommend it is for a full auto Deadshot Luna + Firefly.

Michael Bay would have been proud. On the topic I use to get splash damage on pesky dregs and such that hide behind cover.

Good for pve for mobs things like that pvp you really dont want that
-
2 RepliesWho cares. You fire explosions.

Was using them in PoE 34 on fatebringer and it did seem to take out groups of 2 or more vex quicker. No data to back it up though. Used it to see if it would help bring down the detainment bubbles quicker. It didnt.

Thanks for all the feedback I don't actually use them I had a friend tell me they always ran explosive on everything when available. But like many of you have said it make a critical harder to hit which kind of negates my outlaw perk.

I love it!
-
Good in certain situations when enemies are hiding around corners.

I like them. Have a Badger CCL with explosive rounds. The rounds do a small amount of splash damage so they can hurt enemies even if they miss and hit a nearby wall or something. Good for hip firing at close range. I can finish off enemies with low health if they're behind cover just by shooting the ground next to them. Not positive, but I think they might count as grenades because I have a helmet with "grenade kills recharge super" and I see the recharge bar incrementing when I kill stuff.

Lame and useless

Edited by PureGewalt: 5/28/2015 4:22:39 PMits good on elemental weapons that are used on shields, explosive rounds give you +50 % damage on non precision hits like body/shield. shooting shielded knights and captains with an 300 fatebringer feels like using an 450 fatebringer.

1 ReplyWould only use if on an Auto Rifle. Lol.
-
It's okay for waves of Thrall and stuff like that, but otherwise I don's use it.
-
Not a fan. I prefer the critical damage from precision shots. Explosive rounds tend to negate those. Love firefly though.
-
Never liked it on a HC as it goes against the nature of what a HC is trying to do (be precise). Same goes for Scout Rifle. That said in PvP, anything that disorientates your opponent is a good thing, and maybe this is where explosive rounds shine best.
-
Depends. Not on fatebringer or anything else with outlaw.
-
The higher the impact, the larger the explosion. So really it all depends on the gun
-
Pvp it disorients them, on the receiving side all you see is a bright flash.
-
I think so yes
