Any primary weapons that destroy bug holes?

[ZealousAbsurd]

I was looking at the steeled veterans warbonds and saw 2 of the 3 weapons are explosive.

A buddy of mine said the explosive liberator does not destroy bug holes but isn't sure of the jar-5 bolt shooter so,

Does the jar-5 destroy bug holes? Are there any primary weapons that destroy bug holes?

[MagikarpMagi]

Probably not. The AMR doesn't, but it explodes open storage containers that have stuff in them, so I would assume if anything could it would be them.
(I know you said primary)
I wonder if the liberator blows open the storage containers as well?

[Trauma Loop]

No. Only grenades and 3rd slot weapons can destroy bug holes/bot factories

The only one that MIGHT is the Scorcher, but that is on the final page and I do not have it yet, so have not tested. I CAN confirm that Liberator Explosive and Dominator do not.

I have tried extensively. It does not.

I think the PLAS might? I don't know for sure, it's great on eggs though and it is an aoe, and it can kill chargers. That said, I don't think it's as good as it's competitors, namely the slugger and breaker, but for it's niche case uses it's useful. So if anyone has tried it on bug holes, does it work on them?

Unless it requires you to get an angle to shoot down and actually hit the end of the bug hole, no.

I have every item you can possibly get, along with every upgrade in the game.

No primary gun in the game destroys a bug hole. Not a single one.

And before you ask, there is no pistol that does it and neither will melee attacks.

Only certain support weapons, grenades, or stratagem will.

[Zeddy]

Scorcher can't do bug holes, but at least it can blow ammunition depots.

Have you tried leading a charger to a hole?

[Kemakol]

Leading a charger into a bug hole works

[Diligent Diamond]

Dropping a supply pod and some other pods will also close a hole.
Weapons that can open containers for loot though are a bit more numerous... the slugger shotty and support laser cannon can open containers to save on grenades.

Grenade. They teach you that in the tutorial.

I know reading can be quite the challenge, but if you really put your mind to it, you can do anything <3
