raise lone wanderer, give stuff to a companion, or level strong back if you can't carry it also its fun to use and arcs like a grenade launcher so it is closer than the missile launcher but that is also a good replacement as well if you have something against the cannon.

A 30 pound grenade launcher... not. Might as well just pack the Fat Man around all the time.

yeah the point of the suggestion is to have a light "cheap" long range explosive option.

Making the fatman fire grenades could be interesting too. Those are both easy solutions. But it's not the best solution.

Heh, sorry, but FO3 and FO4 are NOT the Fallout esthetic. They are Bethesda's extremely lame interpretation of said esthetic. FO:NV is much closer to the true Fallout esthetic than anything Bethesda could cobble up.

No, the best and most sensible solution would be just to make the grenade launcher part of the game again.

Definitely!

yeah we need grenade launchers, though it is unlikely unless DLC or mods. oh wait modds will happen.

lol legendary explosive missile launcher for the win.

Nah. With an Instigating Missile Launcher, you never need more than one shot. Evah.

missile launchers are a bit OP.

Ya think? Too bad they're so heavy. Gotta start wearing power armor. Wonder if Strong would have a problem if he never saw me enter or exit it but I just wore it all the time?

auto targeting missile launcher aka, I want everything in that area dead.

Also shush on the compainion stuff don't want this moved into spoilers.

Though think the topics is pretty much dead not much more to talk about other then, there needs to be grenade launchers.

A good question actually. With the introduction of pipe weapons there could have been a wide nozzled pipe assault rifle that you could have switched out with grenades or something.

Think outside the box.

Aim at a structure behind the raider, or mod with a targeting computer and aim high.

They were useless in NV. Where's my napalm artillery that makes everyone I kill explode in plasma?

Instead of firing flare, I would rather see a smoke grenade or illuminating rounds, perhaps even an airburst grenade sort of thing. Already have the flare gun for the minutemen.

Useless, as in you didn't have the perks to support it, or useless as in you couldn't figure out how to use it? I think they worked fine, and was something else than the usual stuff otherwise put in games. IN FO4 they would work better, since enemies runs for cover, and it is a great "flush them out weapon" (just as they will try to run away from handgrenades thrown at them)

That's a technique of course. And one I have used when the opportunity presents, and I'm actually carrying one. I was looking for a bigger box though. One that has something that might be...oh, 35 lbs lighter? Same goes for the thing we're calling an "assault rifle."

But, I have to say, the Missile Launcher is easily the best sniper rifle in the game.

sad but true.

bumping cause bored.

Lol, barely a Fallout aesthetic to it at all.


Lol, FNV not a Fallout game, Falloutesque.


Gotta love drawing your definition of what makes a Fallout game from the one outlier (Fallout 3) in the series. Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, and New Vegas? They're all Falloutesque too. Fallout 3 was the only Fallout game until about two months ago. Too damn funny.

I guess they figure it would be too OP if the grenades could actually hit something before they ran away.

I'd love to angle a grenade launcher up and rain hell down on one of those raiders running to cover.


That just sounds satisfying. Like that bit with the ship and the cannons, only on a smaller more accurate scale and whenever you want it.

People always underestimate the grenade launcher, and cause of games like CoD people think it is just a noob weapon that shouldn't exist. Thing is the grenade launcher is a strategic weapon that is used to flush enemies from cover, bust bunkers, and even take out high threat targets it is not a power house do to the fact that a missile or rocket would do more damage, it is a power house in the fact that it can hit things a rocket can not.
