Fat Boy or Hyper Propellant?

[par]

I've used hyper propellant for a while now, but is fat boy better for high haz levels due to aoe, or should I stick with hyper?

Fat Boy will wreck havoc upon your foes.

Good impact damage, massive aoe damage, massive lingering aoe that puts sticky flames to shame, what more do you want? I don't need more than 4 shots when i get to kill what i'd spend hundreds of ammo on with another class.

Fat Boy does not care about you radiation resistance, grunts. What's that, you are immune to radiation? Take that 400 aoe damage hit the size of half the cave anyway.

Lose 50% direct / AOE damage / Armor break for equal amount in heat, but not in fire damage? for a 10-20dmg/s dot damage?

Ewwwwwwww

Technically clean sweep + AOE dmg alone is enough to oneshot grunts, seem a bit of an overkill to gear for persistent damage in dot instead. Guard wouldn't die to either no matter what except hyper / nuke so I don't really see the point?

I love seeing skilled players use them with great effect. Get good with both and enjoy yourself.

Lotta people get angry at Fat Boy Engies cause they are like -but I want to play too- :*(

I get mad at fatboy engies becuase they keep nuking the comms relay/fuel cells/drill dozer.

The heat has no dropoff with distance, iIrc. So with fire you oneshot any grunt, out to the min-damage distance, effectively increasing the AoE.

Fat Boy, anything else you might as well take the Breach Cutter

Fire also has the bonus of reducing friendly fire damage so you can bomb your friends with a clean conscience.

Just try it, I use it for a reason; as do all the pro Engi's.

No falloff, reduced FF, heat spreads between burning targets. There are so many advantages to it in practical usage that aren't immediately apparent when theorycrafting with numbers from a wiki.

Besides, it's a grenade that shoots out of a gun and makes fire; what more could you ask for?

No. Dont do that. Grenade launcher sucks when build for pure aoe compared to breach cutter. Only way to use grenade launcher is either hyper propellant or fat boy.

Also, never use fire mod for grenade launcher, it will make your weapon perform worse.

I hope you're not serious? Lol.

They both need more ammo. GL in general is not in good shape rn, ammo buff would be really welcomed.
Damage-wise they are fine. Nuke is a bit disapointing but hyperpropellant is really good. But again, needs more ammo.

Don't know what Chibs has ever done to you, but I don't think he's being sarcastic either.

I'll give you this; Chibbity seems to like weird and off-meta weapon builds. That's not anything against him. But if you're talking about weapon builds with him, prepare to go, "Huh?" at least a few times.

Oh and, I've seen him in-game too. His weapon builds work. Like he said, if you're just looking at the math on-paper, you're not seeing the whole picture for how the weapon actually perform in-game.
