Question about Grenadier on legendary weapons with Explosive/Gauss weapon
Do the weapons benefit from the lv 2 Grenadier perk?

i've been searching around and i've been seeing old discussions about it since 2020.. so I wanted to know if, Grenadier perk applies to explosive/gauss weapons up to this day.

No. Only thrown grenades.

No it does not increase explosion radius of explosive guns. Only applies to thrown grenades.

However a little known side effect of Grenadier perk is that it will increase the arcing distance between targets when using a tesla rifle. It shouldn't based on the perk description, but it does.

Makes Rad rumble crazy easy to tag so many ghouls with it arcing down hallways massive distances and still tagging as yet unseen enemies.

Wait so the increasing radius of explosions perk doesn't work on legendary weapons with explosive rounds? But it's noticably bigger no?

Grenadier perk does nothing for explosive bullets. Or fatman, grenade launchers or missile launchers. Only hand thrown grenades.

The perk has been completely broken in the past for hand thrown grenades and offered no increase in explosion size at all. According to the wiki it is a broken perk. For all I know it could still be bugged now. I stopped using it for grenades when it was clear it was a broken perk.

I only equip it for the times i am using a tesla and need to tag lots of enemies.
