Allows you to deal more damage with explosives, defuse bombs, and avoid losing your digits when they go off.
Similar to Lockpicking, there are a lot of traps and mines out in the world you can use to powerlevel a leader to speed up the overall squad level progression.
The damage bonus and resistance applies to all Explosive damage type. In other words, it will be affected by all weapons that do such damage, whether the weapon comes with the damage type or modded to said damage, and will not affect
