And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats. And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

My favorite grenades are actually Honest Hearts's firebombs. I kinda have a thing for molotovs, and I also have a mod installed called "Being on Fire Hurts a Lot", which stuns living enemies while they're burning. It's a nice immersion piece. I love the MFC Cluster grenades, but for in-lore reasons I hate using thing. Since they seem so hard to manufacture, it feels like I'm slowly throwing away technology that the Post-War world may not be able to get back so easily and I feel guilty doing it.

I love the Fat Mine, since it's an improved holdout weapon. It's hilarious sneak-killing Benny in The Tops lobby with a nuclear blast. Runner up for me is definitely the MFC Cluster; being able to so effectively make a minefield, instead of having to try and predict enemy movement with other proximity explosives, is so fun. They're also my go-to "big boy time to kill something" weapon in Dead Money.

[@Mr.Ford3350]

MFC clusters are so incredibly fun to use. Sometimes they'll bounce around and land in random places with maybe one or two explosions damaging your target, and other times you just say "to hell with it" and throw your entire handful at a deathclaw and you watch in awe as they get fucking disintegrated in front of your eyes

[@Richard-jx5xg]

I ran an explosives/unarmed build recently in New Vegas and I love using missile launchers, specifically Annabell, because of two types of ammo: HV and HE. I sometimes encounter enemies in the distance and seeing a high velocity missile go soaring at them in the blink of an eye feels special. The high explosive works well with a perk that I have where the radius of explosives is increased so as long as the missile is in the same general area of what I'm aiming at, it will hit.

[@66billygunn]

My lord I can't I just recently found this brilliant gem of a game on PS now and I'm hooked.

[@arrayknight9691]

For anyone who loves explosives, get the ragdoll mod for new vegas and kill an enemy with an explosive. When I first turned it on on a knew run I had to turn it off because my merc grenades rifle kept launching powder gangers to black mountain from good springs, and destructible environments are also fun. Explosives are probably my favorite weapon type in the game. Nothing like a big boom to kill your enemy's in one blow. Also probably the best for a chaotic play thru. Also thank you Caedo! I've been having a lot of more fun with explosives cuz now Ik what which ones to get

[@Firebird-he3sz]

Cherry bombs may be a pain to find, but by breaking down rockets (and converting missiles to rockets then beak those down) you will end up with more cherry bombs then you know what to do with…and more conductors then you ever wanted. And during my play throughs, that’s all too many ‘cause those bastards are heavy and their only good for either making one of the other rocket variants or to sell as conductors are more valuable than the rocket that it comes from. Just need a science of 30 to convert missiles to rockets and a repair of 50 to break them down.

[@Mr.Ford3350]

The Mad Bomber perk singlehandedly made the use of explosives the most fun part of the game for me

[@jackstecker5796]

As a general rule, I don't use many explosives. Usually I just booby-trap the crap out of my houses, and sell the rest. Of course, if you find yourself near Harper's Shack, might wanna watch your step

My all-time favorite playstyle in new vegas so far has got to be a Mad Bomber Explosives/Shotgun playstyle.

I knew about the C4 in the pocket and been using since the beginning, also incendiary grenades have the same sky flinging effect even when shooting it before the enemy chucks it at you Love that they hold it out arm stretched thinking you are the target but instead I'm vats at it with 95% looking at the real target Hotkey buckshot and throw or fire multiple explosives is also my favorite.

[@manofdarkness5483]

At first I wasn't planning to give a mad bomber perk at all but now I'm going to get that thing

There’s an unlocked chest by ranger milo east of novac in the ncr road block, I always stop there for c4, c4 is the best explosive in the game personally. If you hotkey 9mm ammo and use the goodsprings shake down exploit on Chet for 9m you can use 9m ammo to duplicate c4 for venders.

Honestly I’m not completely sure if getting the Holy Frag Grenades is worth the hassle considering there are only three available in the game. Then again, I don’t normally use explosives in most of my playthroughs so I guess it’s not bad to have. Edit: Thinking about it, I just might save them for the battle of Hoover Dam. Especially against Legate Lanius and his cronies. I like to role play my Ranger build that he only has those three grenades as a state-of-the-art weapon.

[@zomgpirate]

An explosives-based character was one of the last for me to play as, because explosive weapons were cumbersome and expensive, so I instinctively learned to sell all explosives that I looted for extra caps.

The Mad Bomber perk makes all kinds of explosives readily available for you to chuck to your heart's content without having to worry about your supply.

Honestly, I stop bothering with any explosives once I have the anti-material rifle - the explosive rounds are stupid powerful.

One way of earning Boone’s experience point in order to trigger his personal quest is by killing sillus, the captured legion centurion; and as far as I know the only viable method to accomplish that while not failing the interrogation quest is to stealthily plant a c-4 on him, exit and talk to Boyd to finish the quest, then detonate it outside of the cell.

Tin grenades are sick. They may not be as strong as MFC clusters for general-purpose "yeet 'em and delete 'em" combat, but two or three well placed tin grenades will kill most anything right up until mid-game
