You didn't give the M79 Grenade Launcher enough damage. : Fallout: New Vegas

You seriously need to up the damage on the "Grenade Rifle" As a former M203 / M79 Gunner in the U.S. Army I was really happy to see the screen-shot of old "Thumper" Now that I'm playing the game... not so much. It might as well be firing BBs for as much damage as it does. I'm sure some modder will bring this weapon online with its real life counter part, but why was it given such low damage to begin with?

This.

Really a lot of guns are pretty underpowered. So don't feel like your the only one complaining or angry.

you can easily fix this with modding, but yeh it does kinda screw up the balance if weapons are to high powered example: oblivion

Sorry you feel that way, but game balance has to be served. It's pretty clear the grenade rifle is meant to be a mid-tier explosives class weapon and the first weapon an explosives specced player gets they can reliably aim. You'll just have to get your skills up and/or get a damage boosting mod if you're on PC.

Its a GRENADE launcher.

That means it shoots GRENADES

It does less damage than the 10mm pistol... that's not balance, its idiocy.

Where did I say I wanted it to be OPed? Nowhere. But I dropped a GRENADE at the feet of a feral and it only took two of its health bars away. Sorry that is just wrong.

Rename it the Marshmallow launcher, that's about how much damage it does in its current state.

Yeah it did seem underpowered for me (I was doing more damage with the varmint rifle), but that's because it relies on the explosives stat, not the guns stat.

It works great for me. Up your explosives?

I wish there was an option that made weapons do a realistic amount of damage, and ammo less abundant. The fact that I had to shoot an NCR Ranger 8 times in the face from 5 or so meters away with a .308 round is blasphemy.

Yes lets have realistic damage, 1 shot to the head kills you...
Its a game, if it was realistic it wouldnt be fun.
Also increase explosives.

On the contrary... there are those of us who quite like that, and enjoy playing the game modded that way.

So bullets are a 1 hit kill ? A guy with a knife can stab you and make youbleed out ? Rads just kill, not drain stats ? Sorry but a few mods wont make it realistic, and realism wouldnt be fun.

Stop stating your opinion as it is fact. Some people enjoy to play tactically. Let them play tactically while you run around sponging up bullets like its halo.

Well, the fact is that the game is not a tactical shooter. It is an RPG. Guns taking 5 shots to kill something much higher level than you is not blasphemy, it is canon. If you want a tactical shooter, there is a large abundance of them available.

If you want it to be more powerful, why don't you edit it in the G.E.C.K or something?
I mean, that is one of the reasons they made the G.E.C.K after all. To change things about the game you didn't like.
