Fun fact: you can wear a PUCS suit and stuff your pocket with a Volatile Fulgurium Rod and become a walking Chernobyl disaster, Great video as always.

[@Asirilin]

I did kill an entire station with 18 volatile rods i had i didnt know they were radioactive

Small thing to note : Recently the PUCS's radiation resistance got nerfed from 100% to 90%.

[@foxygamer1297]

I play with baro overhaul mod which changes the existing talent tree for all characters and adds a new one, its an awesome mod. Engineer can choose a talent that gives him extra %50 rad protection while wearing pucs or hazmat suit so its okay for me

[@gordonfreeman1163]

Devs really hate the PUCS

[@Owch-]

Its funny how the volatile rod seems to have a lot more depth than the actual gun. Seems highly underrated, I can imagine some engi clown using them and putting them in very hidden places to make radiation to the whole crew :D

yee, volatile rod has some prank potential

You can’t hurt guardians with this gun I think. When I first crafted this I thought I was unstoppable, when to a ruin shot a guardian did like 2 damage.

[@InitialDesu]

Maybe guardians have radiation and heat resistance or some sort of armor

[@gamerproductions5469]

@@InitialDesu Yeah guardians have a huge resistance to heat, because the alien guns are the same. They just like the RFA do like little to nothing

[@ApplePieAlive]

I mean iif you really wanna maximize ur defenses against radiation without a PUC you can always Stack Rad resistance with any other diving suit and a hazmat suit. I personally using the disposable one because it kind of looks like an actual hazmat suit

[@Sonlirain]

So, with the newly nerfed PUCS, do hazmat and PUCS resistances stack? Or is using volatile fulgurium a thing of the past unless you're sporting plenty of antirad and stabilozine?

[@manakzar7148]

You can stack them

[@googloocraft12]

@@manakzar7148 can you have 100% resistance?

[@manakzar7148]

@@googloocraft12 I dont think so, but it goes so high that you barely get any radiation and you heal it passively when you are away from the rods. If you have 4 or less rods at a time, radiation sickness should stay under 25% so you wont get any effects from radiation. Thats how we ran it in our last campaign, only issues were with escort missions because they dont wear pucs

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

@@googloocraft12 You can stack resistances, but they are not additive. They have diminishing returns. If you combine the PUCS, which has 90% radiation resistance, and the Hazmat suit, which has 60% resistance, you don't end up with over 100% resistance. You get something like 96%. You can get close to 100%, but you can never quite get 100% flat. Same goes for all other damage types. An Exosuit has 70% gunshot resistance, the Gunner Uniform has 10% gunshot resistance. Put together, they do not give the player 80% resistance. Instead you get about 73%. Hope this helps.

[@Co60-Ni60]

The volatile fuel rods should be glowing blue not green and should only glow in water unless there radioactive enough to kill you instantly

[@StellarisEnjoyer]

Those volatile fulgurium rods are just spicy and expensive chem lights

[@oopsloops8380]

This is my favorite. Hand held Pulse Laser with rad damage, and cheep running cost! If there One stack of high quality Thorium fuel rods are even enough. You should have many thorium left over by the time you get this gun.

Get inventory full of volatile rods and become rad-troops from wh40k

[@Noah_3885]

so, its not reliable. good to know. i'll stick to the auto-shotgun.

[@cibrig8719]

How is it not reliable? I feel like it's fairly reliable. I run it with arms dealer, which basically makes the ammo it uses free. Sure you could use it for the reactor instead but a masterwork uranium rod has as many shots as a revolver, and then when you run out you can turn the rod into a depleted rod for use in an actual revolver, or coilgun, or smg. Damage is good and it feeds your other weapons cheap. Don't bother bringing it to ruins, though, the guardians don't care about burn.

[@Noah_3885]

@@cibrig8719 thanks for sharing your opinion! :) I do agree with you, but I still think its not reliable.

[@kingcupcakes5171]

Any engineer not using this is doing a disservice to the crew. They're self sufficient so they're not competing over resources but it also supplies everyone else with ammunition the more fuel gets used. Uranium fuel rods stack to 8 which means with masterwork you get 48 shots plus 6 in the barrel for only 2 inventory slots, 234 if you decide to bring volatile. It acts as both a weapon and a tool which pretty much makes this the *most* reliable weapon out of everything else. The only scenario where the gun isn't reliable is if your target is up in your face and sticks like glue or against guardians. Otherwise it basically lets you delete targets from across the abyss for free.
