High-Explosive Ordnance

Overview

A magazine perk that makes projectiles larger and faster. It trades magazine size for a bigger blast radius and slightly faster projectiles, which suits area damage. It is a magazine option on grenade launchers such as Outrageous Fortune, Doomsday and Blast Battue, and on High Albedo, a sidearm.

The Acantha-D is a common example of a weapon that benefits from the bigger blast.

Stats

• Blast Radius +10
• Velocity +5
• Magazine Rating -15

The magazine loss is the cost of the bigger blast.

Tips

• Use it when area damage matters more than reload frequency or total rounds.
• The alternative magazine option on grenade launchers is High-Velocity Rounds, which increases projectile speed and reload speed instead of blast size.
