Nerfed Helios One Rangefinder

Post » Wed Feb 10, 2010 5:59 pm

Kind of disappointed in Euclid's C-Finder as a high-damage weapon. I wanted to kill Legate Lanius in style on my Pro-NCR runthrough, but ended up reloading and killing him with a Holy Frag Grenade and Sniper Rifle with .308 JSP instead. The microwave beam from Helios One took only like a quarter of his life and fried half my followers and NCR drones instead. Yet the HFG took half his enormous life bar, which means they have equivalent, if not greater DAM and DPS than Mini-Nukes.

I think it may have something with the time of the day, at night it hardly hurt a radscorpian, but at noon one day it killed 2 super mutants

I do think it's too weak, but also since you can fire it every day I think it's a good thing that the holy hand grenades are more powerful.

Didn't help that it was 10 PM by the time I made it Lanius either... Would've incinerated him at 12-3 3PM mosdef.
