Pay N Spray

I finally found back Cricket are looking for her. 5 fusion core to sales, that's pretty nice.

Is Pay N Spray worth it ?

A giant waste of ammo compared to Overseer's guardian

Pay and spray is worth it with the demolition perk. You will destroy everything .... including yourself if you get too close to it. It's easily considered one of the best legendary weapons in the game.

Doesn't matter on base damage as it's performance is determined by the explosive damage. So even a 10mm pistol with explosive is amazing.

The only automatic weapons that are better are the two hand made rifle uniques in Nuka World; "splatter canon" and "problem solver".

It's called Spray 'n' Pray. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Extra fun when you have the demolition perk, or you could give it to your companion (along with a bunch of grenades) after you get the Inspirational perk. Then you won't have to worry about your companion's accuracy again.

Keep in mind that they'll probably end up getting into a lot of firefights with random Brotherhood of Steel patrols given all the explosions and collateral damage.

Early game yes it is. You can get it as early as reaching diamond city. I found her just beside diamond city entrance recently. SMG is a bullet drain however, true to its name you are pretty much throwing money for each magazine. That is true for most automatic weapon. Exploding bullet is fun and they are very strong early especially against ghouls. Easy to cripple their limbs with it.

how much dmg does the explosion do?

15 base damage if im not wrong. Can be boosted with demolition perks and it is explosive damage meaning you have self damage if you shoot too close and you dont need to hit your enemy for the explosion to deal damage.

Spray n' Pray is a fine weapon since it is relatively cheap to buy, available in the early game, doesn't need VATS to be effective (AoE) and the ammo is easily found/looted in abundance.

And if you have a companion that LOVES to run in front of you (Looking at you Curie) it will drop them in a heartbeat.

Crouching (sneaking) before an encounter usually keeps all companions from running in front of you, unless already engaged. ;)

Edit: in any case, they are incapable of dying and useful for distraction.
