Explosive Weapons | Fallout 4 Wiki

Explosive Weapons in Fallout 4 are different from your standard firearms as they are one-use only and deal high-impact explosive damage at or around the target. Explosive Weapons have a maximum range of 93 and act as if they hit an invisible wall when reaching their maximum range. One of the notable features of Explosive Weapons is their ability to deal AoE damage, making them particularly effective against groups of enemies or even heavily armored enemies. Most of the time, the explosive damage can bypass conventional defense and inflict significant damage. These weapons are generally extremely heavy and require a great deal of Strength to wield. Any explosive that can be thrown is considered a grenade, whereas any explosive that can be set as a trap is considered a mine.
