Why is the fatman so bad?

It splits its damage between every enemy or something, and makes it completely pointless. It can't even one shot a radroach if there is more than one of them in the room, whilst a laser pistol can just fine.

I have ran against groups of 4+ and it helps chew down their health while my others one-shot them. I kinda like it. Against weaker enemies like radroaches it will flat out kill them with one hit.

It still deals high damage so even split up it's dealing more damage then that laser pistol.

You will see it even more when there is only 1-2 enemies left.

Sending an ae weapon like this with 2 automatic weapons is the go-to for a 3 man quest group usually or you can use this for defending your vault as only gun damage matters but don't send 1 dweller alone with it on quests or exploring the wasteland and get a event with them.

Or you can just use them inside your vault, where weapon type doesn't matter and it does good damage.

They work in Vaults?

I always saw the carrier just run around the room (Storage room - Wherehouse). I assumed it wasn't contributing.

I send mine out on quests with 2 others (Hardened Gatling and Hardened Flamethrower) and it works good.

Animation doesn't matter at all in vaults, all dwellers(and enemies) in the room deal damage over time.

Yeah, using one person with AoE weapon for 3 person quest crew is useful.

Cool learned something new today....think I will take the rest of the day off.

The fatman is pretty dissapointing. I have the MIRVs and by the looks of it they have a terrible rate of fire. As for DPS (damage per second) you are better of using normal weapons. On top of that, it almost takes 5 days just to craft 1 MIRV.

Nice English man.

I also hate the Fatman group of weapons, for a different reason.

I just can't abide that the wielder will face away from an enemy and drop the payload far away. Even with a "Guided" Fatman.

The MIRV is a good weapon, by the numbers. One of my teams has one. I still don't like it compared to almost any other weapon type.

Im craating my first missle launcher now, hope thats better than a fatman.
