HATE THIS NEW UPDATE

[vladbikpaja]

They just destroyed my favorite way of playing. Demolition Expert Perk not boosting dmg on balistic rifles who have on self Demolition perk ( Projectils explode for +20% weapon damage ) Why did you do that Bethesda, that style of playing was not super powered. Those rifles with Demolition perk on self now they are so weak without boosting from Demolition Expert Perk. Damn you.

Well; one, it's not intended; or two, they disagree with you. Who knows?

It was, actually. Speaking from experience. It was THE meta build. Explosive automatic fixer.

My guess is it's a bug since I could of sworn Bethesda was hyping up how the 20% explosive damage can get boosted by expert for more damage.

the perk card seems to broken so yeah..

I like how we got a bunch of bugs and no milepost quest or caravan mechanic. Such a chit update couldn't even release the content.

[OGPG]

Yep. It's either a bug or a stealth nerf, but whatever it has completely ruined my PA Heavy Gunner build.
Thanks Bethesda

From my testing demo expert is not working on anything with an explosive 2nd star effect. Only on explosive launchers and grenades.

It would be kinda stupid to make a big deal of allowing explosive effect back on energy weapons and simultaneously nerfing demo expert working on anything except explosive launchers and grenades. Time will tell if it is a bug or intended.

So, the after testing, the demo perk at least in the stat screen is broken but still works. I used a ari/E/90rw gatling and noticed without the perk, my damage was around 150+20 against feral ghouls and scorched near the rusty pick. When I equipped the perk my damage was 150+ 35 against said enemies using the same weapon as before.

Further more, despite affecting the damage of the hellfire rocket launcher, the item card shows no increase to explosive damage when using demo expert and only an increase to fire damage.

Further more, it seems the combat shotty has received nerf since my damage went from 30×8 to 21×8 with all shotgun perks equipped with best in slot weapons mods for said shotgun.
