Best bloodied heavy weapon that isn't energy-based?

[dentalfloss]

I'm near level 400; just switched to bloodied. PA and heavy weapons, maxed demo expert. I have the grounded mutation, so energy weapons take a slight debuff. Right now I use Foundation's Vengeance, but the spin-up is a little annoying.

.50 cal

Prefer .50 quad explosive ftw :). Quad is pretty easy to roll but exp. hmmmm

Nuka Launcher is a favorite, especially since it deals with reflective skin mutations handily. Also, it hits like a truck.

I suggest trying a Bloodied Explosive .50 cal.

I haven't done a good deed in over a week and I'm going through withdrawals. So, I'll give you the one I have at no charge if you want it. The third attribute is 100% Faster Movement Speed while aiming. It has a Prime receiver on it now, but you can remove it if needed.

If you do want it, please post your in-game here, then send me an in-game friend request and when we're both online I'll come find you to give it to you.

My in-game name is the same as here, ronr42.

You're welcome.

Send me the in-game friend request and if you can get in-game now, I'll come drop it off real quick.

Cool. I misspelled. It's TH8A2. You can have any item from my shop for free.

Thanks but I don't need anything right now.

I'll fire up the game and come find you.

Just did an Eviction Notice with that thing. It tears level 100 legendary greenskins to pieces.

Glad you're happy with it. :)

*For a little more punch, try adding the Adrenal Reaction Mutation if you don't already use it.

[dentalfloss]

Oh yeah, I got that too. Insane damage.

Bloodied 50 cal is a great heavy weapon option. Would not trade mine for anything. One of my main weapons i am always using on my PA character.

I don't do PA or Bloodied. I rolled that one while trying to get a VE for a friend.

My one and only character is a tank that uses a TSE .50 cal :)

I think I may not even need my Demo Expert perk. The wiki says that it only affects damage when explosive is the primary dealt. I do so much damage with the gun that I don't feel the need to use missiles or grenades anymore. So maybe I just freed up 5 perk slots.


The perk increases the damage dealt by all explosions by 20% with the first rank, with subsequent ranks each adding 10%, up to a maximum of 60% with rank five. It affects most thrown grenades, mines, explosive weapons and weapons with the Explosive legendary effect. However, it only affects the primary damage type of a weapon. For example, a grenade that deals two types of damage only has its primary damage increased. This also means the perk does not affect the damage of pulse mines and pulse grenades, as they only deal secondary energy damage.

OH>>>>>>>>You definitely want to keep Demolition Expert slotted in.

Needed with any weapon that shoots explosive rounds.
