Why does increased Blast Radius continue to reduce damage on Grenade Launchers?

Can that be a change we get? Just streamline GL damage regardless of stats? GLs are the only weapon type that lose damage based on stats that aren't explicitly named as tied to damage.

  • it doesn't decrease, it splits between the actual object you shot being impact, and the explosion, being the blast radius

      Blast radius doesn’t reduce the damage on GLs GL damage is split between impact and explosion damage. Blast radius is explosion damage

        • Didn't they recently reduce it to be mostly negligible? iirc Blast Radius was only a big deal when accounting for Spike damage, but Spike damage was reduced to be like 4ish% more damage in the patch that just came out

            A greater blast radius stat USE TO decrease the damage/dps of grenade launchers both heavy and breach loaded(special) along with rocket launchers. However they changed this so its no longer the case, they do a static amount of damage regardless of the blast radius.
