Most likely running Grenadier for the increased radius along with Demolition Expert for the damage

Grenadier is a must-have for any regular explosives use; otherwise you're wasting half your gas. "Rooms" in west-tec are just the right size to hit the most if not all mobs with the most powerful area of the blasts provided you're not running around by the goo vats though I don't remember for certain if all mines affect through the grated second-level walkway or just nuka products. With rank 5 explosives expert and and rank two grenadier you still won't be one-shotting mobs, though; you will probably need to use Adrenaline or another damage perk/effect to manage that. It could be also that they're stacking the mines so what you're seeing is two explosies, not just one.

**also, make sure you have bloody mess, of course. Then there are temporary buffs such as magazines or bobbleheads as well

Nukacola-Grenades and nuke-mines does ghost damage, meaning they hit through walls and floors so you can clear large rooms with thise, as nukacola grenades needs nuka cola in order to craft i think people went with mines as they only cost a few normal materials to make :)

Edit: As the others pointed out Grenadier is a must aswell as demolition expert, bloody mess is another good choice for sure also adranaline, maybe even tenderizer :)
ahh ok might try this with a max intel and xp to see if i can spam xp

It depends on what you farm more. Mines take nuclear waste while grenades require the colas. If you know where they spawn it's much easier to incorporate collecting colas and frags so that's more likely at later level, grind heavy players. Nuclear material can usually be found just my using energy weapons but otherwise it's much more of a hassle than cola farming.

So, if you wanna go this route it's a lot more difficult since mines don't have the range of grenades. Also mines can be picked up by other players and you can only have two active at a time - a third mine causes the first to detonate, which permits for a fun "Gingerbread Man" style of combat. You can't really spam with mines like you can with grenade-launchers, fat men, missile launchers, etc, but you can certainly regret your component waste later if you want to.
Aluminum, frag grenade, and a cola are the price of a grenade.
2 circuitry, 3 copper, 3 lead, 3 nuclear material, 5 screws, and 10 steel for a mine.

Always equip Super Duper to reduce the hefty cost of crafting either single use item and crafting in bulk has shown to increase production.

*Another excellent explosives type is Pulse, but it won't have the radius you're looking for.

ill give the grenades a go since i can reasonably craft them for now

Dead Raider permanent objects are great for farming frags, something like a 25% chance of that being the loot; around the Top of the World and the cutt-throat areas have a lot of these. Blood eagles and super mutants are best for dropping them as loot, especially if you get the drop on them. Have fun :cqlol: :ne:
