Characteristics

Since "Grenade Launcher" ability benefit from Explosives skill, it is highly recommended to convert this rifle to Explosive damage. Make sure that converting this weapon to any damage type will be twice as expensive as converting any other weapon, since one conversion mod is already used to craft it. Damage can be increased by using damage type conversion mods, making this weapon to benefit from various bonuses, as well as +99 Armor penetration, which negates target's armor completely.

Physical damage maximization example +8 Damage from Titanium-Cobalt Barrel +8 Damage from Toxic Linkage or Crippling Linkage or Razor Linkage +33% Ranged damage from Sadomasochist quirk at the cost of +33% Received damage +35% Ranged damage from Awareness at level 10 +25% Ranged damage from Threat Intelligence helmet modification at the cost of -6 Armor Applying all bonuses (+16 Damage +93% Ranged damage) leads to the following result: 123 - 142 x3 (369 - 426) damage in weapon stats. The damage dealt to targets will depend on the armor they are wearing and the armor penetration rate on your character.
