Is the Seeker Mine weak?

[Alpacalypse]

I'm at level 14 and I can't even kill a level 9 with it. Is there a specific mod for it that makes it do more than just weak explosive damage?

In general, the offensive perks seem incredibly weak. Why should I use the useless mine or slightly less useless bomb launcher when I can deal tons more damage with Smart cover and Booster Shot (first aid mod)?

yes its horrid. im level 30 with 47k skill power and it still sucks. misses most the time too because enemies dodge it.

Better off using the remote mine imo.

I knew it wasn't just me. They really need to buff the damn thing, because it feels like a Sticky launcher with less damage and less range. Can't believe I wasted supplies getting it smh

check you skill power as this does have a Large effect on damage, that being said i was not pleased with the standard mods. The cluster turns the mine into multiple but the seem to do little to no damage. The "airburst" mod i liked but it does away with the homing effect. turning it into an incendiary granade. The poison one i just could not get to work but these are just my expirences so take them as you will.

Yeah, I'll stick with booster shot and smart cover. No weak explosive damage can trump the damage and health boost.

Seeker mine has awesome dmg with napalm mode....But the problem is that the mine trigger too early, missing most of the targets. But the dmg is more than good.

I've found it only takes out enemies that are a lower level than me -- any that are at or above my level, it just tickles them. The sticky bomb seems to do more damage. That said, it's handy as a distraction, to buy yourself some time in a fire-fight, especially with the cluster upgrade. There's also a talent called Chain Reaction that increases its power when taking out a close group of enemies. Plus gear and mods that can boost it too.

Turret, mine seeker, sticky bomb. All those skill are req high Electronic to do a huge damage.
Event you have high electronic those damage arent enough to damage the enemy in PVE.
Better use those skill with mod and change it to give effect skill. like stun, burn or tear gas. At least with those effect, the enemy will be stop for a sec (even a boss) and you can hit them freely.

Seeker gas OP though

Not really, it's just great. The explosive mods to it are kinda fun noodly imho
