you were wrong. the chance to get ammo is just much smaller but when you do get a killed enemy to drop a core or find one in an ammo box, it´ll be a 75% one so it´s a lot of ammo at once when you remember that it´s 375 shots that core is worth, even more should you run Power User INT perk. Edit: quick tip for Mirelurk Queens, their legs are their weak spots if you´re just free aiming. it helps loads c:
@@beastabuelos6421 i´m on PS5, i just whipped out one of my Ultra Gatling Lasers and it works just fine for me, counter went to 750 from 375. you certain it doesn't or are you trying it on the Gatling Plasma in which it will not work on?
Tip for get cores/ultracite cores, normal or plasma ones: do expedition and at the and, before talk to Lennox, equip the weapon you want cores and get out. You will receive 4 cores (works with Daily Ops too but the way it ends is different). And I prefer use normal fusion cores because it is rechargeable.
To answer your question yes a low fusion core always crafts into a max ultracite fusion core, just same as plasma core crafting. With super duper crafting more like 12 cores not 9 listed. Also for anyone using this build power user perk card is useful, gives your fusion core ammo double quantity with rank 3, so 1000 shots not 500 shots.
Maybe it's not the most effective, but honestly who cares about that in this game. The only things gonna give you any trouble are world bosses. As long as you're having fun.
I love how everyone had a problem with explosive energy weapons when they were technically illegal but now that you can craft it and get it as a drop everyone is fine with it and don’t give me the oh well it was nerfed and not as good when I made a build for it and it’s just as op if not more than it originally was specially with the science perks giving energy damage boost now but I love it because in the end I got what I love back
Are you high? The explosive effect on this new version has about the same damage output as explosive on a ballistic weapon. A legacy bloodied explosive Gatling plas could kill the queen in under a minute. This ain’t doing that lol.
Explosive energy weapons are so awesome. Energy weapons typically higher base damage and rates of fire synergize well with explosive. Not to mention the new unique effects specific to weapon type. Bethesda did really good on this part.
unless it’s pepper shaker, sometimes it breaks server in a way that enemies cannot be damaged by you, nor you can reload or swap weapon, this effect ranges from 10 to 30 seconds, but it is an experience for sure
I just had a VE Ultracite Gatling Laser with -25 AP Cost drop from Eviction Notice and remembered you made this video! It’s been a great morning because I also had the Anchorage Ace drop from Neurological Warfare!
Im trying out the two shot bow with the last shot and faster reload with flame arrow and it does crazy fire damage really liking it. You can't really do manual aim cause it only goes very short distances but in vats its great. Can usually one shot smaller crowds with demo expert and grenider.
I am using this weapon. Only difference is that I have resistance while aiming. I'm also running a Gamma emitter ( forget which one but I Bought it from a train station vendor ) the explosive damage does proc the fire onto additional targets. The amount of HP returning to me is crazy right now. Also fun fact I discovered. If you use the Perk card that extends the life of fusion cores it does affect the gatling laser's ammo capacity. I went from 500 to 1000 shots per core.
I'm just happy that I can hand my friends mods I make from the legendary plans I know because many of them don't have OP gear like others do and can finally get some XP without having to be on the OP players team I'm about to mass produce mods and give them to low levels so they can too. I'm kinda tired of having 40mm and Nuke grenade spammers making everything fly in every possible direction often meters away from an events barriers making it damn near impossible to find the corpse to loot.
@@somthingawesome918 yea everyone I run with has been having issues on that too what's weird is some people are having issues crashing a lot but I actually haven't been crashing as much as I'm use to. I know the game engine is well chugging like a model T but I swear part of the instability in some servers vs others is those loot piles of random things just laying around in event areas mostly I use to collect a few dozen legendary items or more a day even got a secret service left arm it's all just laying there in piles not i a bag or something don't own any secret service plans at all. but I haven't really been seeing to much of that since Tuesday.
PSA to remember to use Power User so you get 1000 ammo per core since it works with Ultracite Power Cores, specially if you're going Heavy Energy Weapons with Stabilized
Hi, Could you help me with the answer please. Is it true that now Explosive second star is better than 50% crit damage for Plasma Caster?? I heard that the were some changes with the damage
Thanks for the vid! Does anyone know what happened to explosive damage!? I’ve been unable to get to the bottom of it 😢 It is not the same as it was pre-patch, damage-wise.
The fusion cores have been bugged since the beginning; once they reach 1 or “zero” they just stay in your inventory. It’s so annoying it makes me not use my favorite gun for a while. You have to manually go through your cores and discard them… with normal cores it’s ok because you can just put them in your changing station but for the ultracite you have to discard them manually.
That happened to me with a zealots gat plaz that was explosive i changed it to a junkies and yes its way fun . I like that the exp is back on energy im also glad they are not op like the legacies were but def one of my new fav i don't have an issue with splash damage but I am running oe t65 with 2 pieces explosive resistance so idk if its really that much
@@chris5942 that's fair. Another good option would be anti armor for a full health build, but if you do decide to go bloodied again you should definitely try it out. My friends and I have had a blast with it so far
On ps I feel like explosion is lacking there is area but no dmg cant do any self damage even with a 20% dragon used to crit transfer stackers now we cant 😢
It's sooo very flashy, it'd pummel my eyes if more than 4 people were using during an event (yeah, there's worse, I know :P ) Just...I must be doing something wrong - how's your AP bar barely decreasing at all? Or it's just me, VATS addicted, that am used to watch it drain at an insanely fast rate? :P
You should try plasma flamer with pulse capacitor and explosive mod. It's really great although to make it work you need to install the pulse capacitor after the flamer barrel.
It seems fine until you have to look through 150 ultracite cores and they just give you that very inaccurate marker instead of a number of shots left I. It:)
Grenadier doesn’t work for non-innate, explosive-modded weapons. But it does work with Gauss weapons (because explosive is innate weapon trait). Content creators tend to miss this one, because, well, their “job” is playing Fallout 76. You do occasionally get an enthusiastic waiter who blows your mind with an off-menu order tweak, but it’s not the norm.
@artemiy8925 yes it did. I use a 2 shot explosive lmg. After the update that applied grenadier to the explosive effect, the explosions got much bigger. Whether or not that is still the case, i don't know. But you are spreading misinformation
@@mrthor3061 because you can overcharge ultracite plasma core with a high int crafter, quad has always been buggy and has never worked, because quad was never supposed to drop on core weapons. Why a lot of heavy gun users would aim for anti armor, vamp or bloodied.
I really want to get one but i dont rwally want to spend a ton of matts to buy the plan for the ultracite plan xD But it does look like a lot of fun! I put a explosive box mod on a plasma gun to test something...and its a lot of fun as is ... sadly what i tested didnt work..but the plasma with explosive is still loads of fun :p
Let's talk later my man, I got lucky and learned the anti armor mod so i can craft you few. I should be home later today. What's the best way to get a hold of you?

The spin down before reload is much longer in 3rd person. After you're done shooting, tap the fire button and than reload. Works every time

To be frank, its even harder to loot you stuff than normal anyways. Bodies/ meat piles have been disapearing alot during most events since the update

I had an Ari/E/25lvc Laser drop from an event yesterday. It's pretty nasty, especially with the burning effect of the Refined Beta Tuner.
I turned a vampires pepper shaker into explosive and it was way too glitchy to use.
It's so nice, to get back my legacy Gatling plasma.
No, it's not like it used to be, but it's nice to have it back.
Where did you get the ultracite beam focuser? I've been trying to find one but have had no luck.
Scrapping Ultracite Gatling Lasers.
im not too fond of heavy guns as it doesnt really output alot of damage but its cool to see energy guns having explosive bullets again
Hi, Could you help me with the answer please. Is it true that now Explosive second star is better than 50% crit damage for Plasma Caster?? I heard that the were some changes with the damage
I haven't tried an explosive plasma caster, so I don't know the answer.
Bloodied, explosive and durability use the receiver that adds fire damage max rank grenadier
i made a laser pistol trying to imitate the RCW laser from fonv, is fun, added the quad has 110 shots, gonna add explosive too XD
Thanks for the vid! Does anyone know what happened to explosive damage!? I’ve been unable to get to the bottom of it 😢
It is not the same as it was pre-patch, damage-wise.
I just want that black themed Union PA paint
tried to use this on a bloodied build with beta wave tuner attached and it instantly kills me 😂
Yeah, I can't put up with spin-up weapons, I just find them too frustrating.
Been trying to get the 2 shot mod for my ultracite beam split explosive rifle. It’s so much fun with the hair trigger.
It seems like Grenadier has been softened in DMG and deff. Radius .
I have a vampire’s pepper shaker and Gatling plasma, which should I put explosive on because I only have one mod so far
With this update im so overwhelmed with what to make 😱😱. Love it tho
After you stop shooting tap the trigger again.

Yep. Had quite a few empty cores in my inventory.

Nothing that affected damage.

Why not go with power user perk card? You would have more ammo per core
I don't have room for it.
So theres a good idea of them adding spin time reduction with 4th star. Anyone?
Did the vampire effect get nerfed in the latest update?
I just wish we could use ultracite cores for the power armor :D
Just got one of these, biggest drawback for me is the weapon condition. Break insanely fast
I put explosive on my plasma rifle/flamer/pulse capacitor 2 shot. A tagger with no spinup. It sucks as a killer.
Bloodied makes a world of a difference on that setup. With the right build it shreds through any enemy
