I've never had much problem with Meltdown, but I think I just realized why the majority of people around here dislike the perk so much, and I just realized why >_>

Those guys had low HP, and I completely FORGOT that Meltdown can cause chain reactions. Not surprisingly, I met my end. I thought I would kill the one guy, absorb the damage and pop a Stim. Not a smart idea to do, just wearing a Follower's Lab Coat :sadvaultboy:


Do you guys refuse to use the perk, or do you put up with it?

That wasn't Nails was it? Which character met his demise?

-Gunny out.

Actually wasn't one of my DiD characters, as you could tell by the modified Laser RCW.

The chain explosion was a beautiful sight to behold though!

I've never had a probelm with it. But then again I don't have it on PC to put 20 guys in one room...

As long as you are always aware of it, and don't use energy weapons in situations like that, I never have any problems with it. It's wise to buff up a secondary weapon skill for close range, so you can swap to a big handcannon pistol, or SMG, or shotgun, or Pushy, or whathaveyou.

I took it once, then console'd its ass out.
Too risky man.

I never make energy weapons a primary weapon source, usually guns. I also have melee pretty high too, but hardly use it. But I definately use guns most of the time. I usually use energy weapons to snipe with the YCS thing, and maybe some rifles.
