Explosive Ammo - Read if You've Never Used it

[Getty]

It should go without saying, and I was stupid. But the explosive damage will effect structures, yourself, and your mount. I think I'm going to switch back to normal pistol ammo for my carbine (I actually carry 2 now due to the low durability of the carbine) while on exotic runs, nearly killed myself twice and my Moa got banged up too.

Well...yeah.

Yes, and in the spirit of this thread, let me pass along more useful information:

I'm glad your prospector survived the "explosive" round trial... :)

I had no idea that the "explosive" rounds would be THAT dangerous...
I may test the "explosive" round at a range...
To^ estimate the BLAST "radius"...

Testing^ may reveal where it's safe for my prospector to stand before firing...

Thank you for posting this thread :)
I have learned...
"Explosive" rounds may be just for major "boss" fights...

If^ fired from a safe "distance"...

It's not very far away where they won't damage you, it's mainly an issue when you're doing a radar scan where you frankly shouldn't without defenses, due to bad LOS of where the creatures will come, and one gets right by you/your mount. I'm lazy and don't set up any defenses for radar scanning, just blast away with the carbine. I wish there was a way to pick up hedgehogs instantly and I may use them more, picking up 20 sounds annoying. :D
