On top of that, the rifle gets the barrel extension while the launcher gets nothing at all.Įven the Boomers seem to think it svcks even with their Explosives skill at 92 and their Melee weapons skill at 17, their AI seems to determine that their melee weapons have a higher DPS than their grenade launchers, and equip their melee weapons instead.Īccording to DPS calculations in the GECK, full clip + reload time for the rifle is 41 damage. Does anyone else find the grenade launcher rate of fire rather lackluster? Comparing weight and rate of fire, the grenade launcher just is 'meh' compared to its predecessor, the grenade rifle.
