PC Explosive damage

[Bhaaltazar]

I dont know if explosive damage is bugged or am I doing something wrong.

Pipe Bombs says:

Ranged damage 0

Block dmg 0

Explosion radius 5

so they do no damage at all?

Than I also I checked rocket launchers and explosive bolts on crossbow. They are very ineffective - so my question is did TFP intentionally "nerfed" the explosive weapons or are they just bugged at the moment?

I never used much of them, since they damage blocks, but I was about to pick pipe bombs as quest reward just before horde night and i noticed that.

Did you invest in the explosive weapons perk?

50% chance to stun at L1

75% chance to cripple at L3

100% chance to dismember at L5

Explosives are extremely bad yes.

I did rocket launcher tests last night and results were very random, sometimes I could OHK Zs, sometimes I needed 2 rockets(regular Zs, not ferals or better).

Just check the XMLs.

Explosives aren't 'bad', they're just *slightly* weak.

90 Damage by default for pipe bombs and unaffected by Perception isn't enough to outright kill a zombie, but nearly so.

Mines are just as bad. The only mine worth using is the airfilter mine, as it's the only one with damage over 100 (185) The standard pressure plate mine is the most cost efficient, though, at 75dmg. Still.. duct tape. That ♥♥♥♥'s expensive.
