Annabelle>Enola Gay? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Dec 10, 2009 1:15 pm

Every time I use this weapon, no matter what, I seem to always take some sort of splash damage. Never happens with any other form of explosive. Is this weapon's splash damage super amazing or do I just svck with this thing? I do have the perk which gives me protection against it, and works wonders, but just wondering. Thanks.

The plane that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. There was a huge explosion.

The B-29 that dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WW2, bringing an end to the largest war in history.

This thread was about Splash Damage... I looked up the Annabelle in the GECK. It appears to have about 3/4 the range of a Plasma Mine; (unless I'm reading it wrong ~which could be. I've not modded explosives yet).

Are you running any weapons mods that might be affecting it?

I love what this thread has turned into. Has anyone answered the question about annabelle?

It would appear not. That being the case, here goes:

No, OP, you do not svck with it, it just has a sizable blast radius and does a lot of damage even without the Demolition Expert perk. If you are using HE rounds the radius increases, which might be what's happening in your case.

A number of posts have been deleted and edited as the thread was going in an unfortunate direction. Let's stick to the topic as it relates to the game. Thanks.

Mods don't work on custom named weapons.

@General Masters: Ahh okay so it does have some good radius. How much more of a radius does it have compared to a regular missile launcher?

To me all the explosives have a ridiculously huge blast radius compared to Fallout 3.

I am sure that is use to maintain their damage potential even if they did explode right next to victims feet.

But there are perks for explosive users to protect themselves, I don't see it being a problem.

Sure they do... I could have changed anything about it while I was examining it's properties. (I've made custom uniques before.)

I never said it was a problem, it just seems that I keep injuring myself when I use it.(I've taken the increased splash radius perk)

A missile launcher is a long range weapon go figure.
