What's going on guys. This is VinylicPuma and I'm back with another Fallout 4 video and today I'll be going over what I think are the Top 7 Best Ballistic and Energy Grenades and Mines in Fallout 4.
You'll notice I omitted the Faction Explosives. If I added those to this list, the Artillery Grenade might be 4 or 3 while the Vertibird Grenade might be a 5 or 6. If you liked this video, leave a like. :)

[@Grimsly3736]

the scavenger in me is screaming at you for not looting the bodies

[@Lion-jm2oj]

prospector*

[@Grimsly3736]

Lion right

[@dylanharshman712]

Same I feel that way anytime I watch his vids.

[@cameronfenkarek]

Especially the legendary’s

[@salmonhead6668]

the liberty prime going into the air "super man" (iron giant reference)

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Myrna in Diamond City Surplus sells lunch boxes randomly but fairly regularly.

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Francis Cermak Hm, didn't know that. Sounds like I should stock up :)

[@1810jeff]

The baseball grenade bounces off walls more efficiently so it is much more of a tactical grenade if your opponent isn't directly in front of you

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Jeff Solis Hmm. Didn't notice that. That would make it useful indoors.

[@FranTizUndici]

+Jeff Solis Extremely tactical and only for experts. In indoors fighting it's very difficult to control the launch and the place where she goes, most of the times she bounces to me again and i take the damages :(

[@HotlineCity]

Pulse Grenades can DESTROY enemy power armor pieces with ease

[@trainingben.]

It's quite awful when you realise the bottlecap mine uses bottle caps to shred and rip at victims flesh as if anyone who has felt the edge of a bottle cap will know that they are quite sharp and I myself wouldn't want one ripping at my skin anytime soon..

[@nucleus691]

The fact that they require steel and NOT bottlecaps to make but when they explode you can collect all bottlecaps.

[@kaned1827]

But lunch boxes are rare

[@nobodyxiii3792]

Nucleus I just with level 42 and i just found my 34th lunch box theyre pretty rare lol

[@jefftanner690]

Frags are the same

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

@@nobodyxiii3792 bottle cap mines are more common than lunch boxes, now that's saying something....

[@thegraphixsword735]

it sounds like he says violent puma gaming

[@1810jeff]

I never understood why you couldn't craft the nuka grenade if all of the ingredients necessary for them are available ex tin can, abraxo cleaner, nuka cola quantum

[@seanmasterson2630]

They made nuka nades more powerful because I is a mini nuke

[@seanmasterson2630]

Maybe they will add it in DLC because they did talk about Children of all m I think

[@DarthCruciare87]

+Jeff Solis I have a mod, can't remember which one, that allows you to craft them like any other grenade. This is why I go PC Master Race over Console Peasants any day of the week.

[@seanmasterson2630]

But mod r coming to console!!

[@fledbeast5783]

+DarthCruciare87 🖕🏻

[@ERBanmech]

Remember with bottle cap mines you can mass produce vault tech lunch boxes if you have the contraptions DLC which adds ways to manufacture things

[@5TailFox]

I'm not surprised you put the Bottle Cap Mine on this list, at all. I once one-shot'd a Behemoth with one.

[@Lucifer-fu9ei]

I one shoted a legendary sentry bot with it

[@aussies4trump176]

+Shawnee Longbow I 1-shot myself with one :(

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

+I am Groot ! ... a lot.

[@shanehudson3995]

Got the Mirelurk Queen at the castle with one.

[@5TailFox]

Shane Hudson Wow.

[@cooper-dj7jc]

I wish the mechanist DLC had added a mechanized pulse mine which worked like the pulse grenade and tesla rifle but also sent out a pulse that lowered enemy defenses

[@lightningbrigade257]

Great video. It's nice when a narrator has a nice voice and doesn't mumble. And it beats the hell out of listening to a robotic voice that gets on your nerves. Keep up the good work.

[@johnmccall4528]

Honorable mention goes to the MIRV grenade. Thankfully I have a mod that allows me to craft em. The damage number on the tin is deceiving, just like the damage number on a MIRV launcher. These things are truly devastating though they probably should not be used indoors.

[@trent7010]

I personally love synth relay grenades i buy like 30 at a time and theyre pretty cheap and in no time I have an army of synths whenever I want.

[@bone_zoner]

Zach Petoya or just use the vertibird signal flare and get a chopper to shoot whatever you need dead

[@nathandowney6481]

I used homing beacon nukes to clear out Nuka World, and clears out the remaining survivors with Hallucinogen grenades and synth relay grenades. The combination of the grenades work very well to my surprise

[@bebopknux5857]

Damm ViylicPuma back at it again.Keep up the good work!

[@robertkaselau8186]

Baseball grenades will not be heard nearly as much when coming into contact with floors or walls, allowing for a stealth-nade-attack.

[@tonydabaloney]

I have a luck perk maxed out on this play through, which is a first for me and I have picked up 3 grenades I've never seen before. I have 2 smart grenades, 4 mini nuke and 4 mirv. I've only used them in practice with quick saves. The smart won't hurt you if you drop it at your feet,but does same damage to foes. The mirv shoots off 6 or so more when thrown for cost of one. Also found mini nuke mines, not nuka, but mini nuke. I've just started this last play at x-mas and played different than I had before. I've played it through at least a dozen times before ,but never seen these. Love the game. 2023 and at 70yrs old still gaming. Been gaming since King Kong was a spider monkey!

[@dodothedankest9089]

You should do a video about best/worst explosive weapons! Love your vids BTW!

[@spartan5271]

He is most likely dead

[@ryanmchugh4502]

Am I the only one that has never seen the halluciagen Gernade??

[@gyt1485]

Yes

[@nicogonzalez484]

Ryan McHugh No

[@lordchungus4744]

Ryan McHugh never heard of them but I'm going back to try to find the recipe for them

[@fpsking7294]

Ryan McHugh no ive never seen it

[@exaid0556]

No

[@SinerAthin]

Fragmentation Grenades are so fun on survival setting. Throw them into a room, and EVERYONE in there dies! (granted, if you are caught in the explosion yourself, then yeah.... you're not gonna have a good time xD)

[@NightroxicGG]

keep up with the good work puma and btw can i somehow duplicate armor on a ps4? Dogmeat glitch wont work for that

[@ZenodudeMC]

Says institute rifle sucks, gives one to nick

[@euclidentity6318]

Better than a pipe revolver

[@ricotheexmongolianslave692]

the best grenade is mini nuke

[@jamesw.6520]

Synth grenades

[@snipereagle675]

Are awful

[@exaid0556]

I used them only to finish off a Railroad member during battle of Bunker Hill so i could get his coat

[@oblivion4k267]

I love your power armor

[@thefactory6106]

the worst thing about the Hallucinogen gas grenades is that it only works up to level 50, higher leved enemys are to strong for the gas grenade to have any effect on them. you can use dogmeat to duplicate more of every grenade and mine, among other things. :)

[@MasterEeisenwolf]

There is a mod for Xbox and PC if you want unlimited HalluciGen gas canisters. The mod is called Duplicating Crate. each crate you craft has a different amount that it will Duplicate. But there is a trick to get more. If the crate makes x256 and you put 1 item in you get 256. But if you add 40 into that crate you get 10240 of that item. It will Duplicate any in game item and any DL moded items. It basically works off the same concept as the old skyrim glitch but in a craftable wooden crate.

[@snipereagle675]

Puma you should do a video on what you consider to be the best meat/ drops, from the various creatures in the common wealth

[@chiefexecutive]

Cool vid.

[@dedestructorz8314]

My favorite grenade is the molotov because I can easily stack like 300 of them and just burn everything

[@jolochua6026]

i love the synth relay grenade

[@rootless_flies8]

9:25 Liberty prime just deleted that man 😂😂

[@MicheleBohmke]

I love blowing stuff up in Fallout 4!

[@frankmohrbutter1620]

Also, might i add that wasteland wanderer buff the damage of these grenades also. it stacks with demo expert to make frag hit for 375, and plasma grenades his for 375 plus 150 ish energy damage. can get specific values of all grenades if requested

[@frankmohrbutter1620]

Also to be noted if you dont have time to wait for the fuse to blow, target the grenade in vats. great for making them explode above a target hiding behind cover.

[@LazyClay1]

Hey PumaGaming, how come u never do a video on what u considered to be the top 10 rearrest ammo the game?

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Dominicanking340 I might do one. We'll see.

[@AravindPradhyumnan]

I gave my follower a nuka quantum thirst zapper and have died several times when she tried to use it on roaches.

[@m60pattoncovidiot29]

Nuka is my favorite

[@botmes4044]

You forgot the Nuka Quantum Grenade. Nuka Cola Quantum is so easy to find in Nuka World, and the grenade has the same ballistic damage as the standard Nuka Grenade, but can actually be crafted.

[@chakaislife3046]

This video was made before the nuka world dlc

[@mattps.3040]

I've murdered myself so many times with bottlecap mines

[@dragon8tor442]

Vinylic do you think explosive tech will return in borderlands 3 for all weapons?

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Dragon8tor We'll see.

[@marshroverv5632]

In the automatron DLC nuka grenades and mines are super easy to get using the eyebot pod. They are pretty much the only grenade I use now.

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+marshrover V I've noticed 2m EC ammo is also a little easier to get as well.

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+marshrover V The Eyebot pod was a really great addition.

[@marshroverv5632]

2mm EC is already way too easy to get with the scrounger perk, don't need to waste eyebot deploys on it.

[@7tales357]

2mm was easy, I have 300 on a level 60 character without scrounger :P

[@andygarcia4962]

7 tales I have 435 its most common when you are near or at military bases

[@lorddeath2326]

What combat rifle customizations do you use?

[@edwardbrock3807]

I wish the cryos gave a damage buff while frozen

[@redeye4516]

3:01 iron giant

[@terryfredrick5149]

got a couple nuka naids , maybe I will use them when I hit the glowing sea. which I'm level 52 and haven't even been there yet lol

[@JWhatL]

You'll be fine, most things there are level 20ish

[@7tales357]

you can go though it with a level 30, with a minigun it's not that hard XD,I did it with a knife

[@legnd300]

With the new survival mode, I've managed to hit lvl 76 by the time I got the glowing sea quest, granted I did play far harbor, but it's a lot more fun and better prepares me since, after all, it is survival mode

[@legnd300]

Enemies actually get tougher as you level up as far as I know, so they should always be on pa with your character's current level, especially if it's farther down south of the map. It makes no sense to encounter level 20 enemies while there are level 50 enemies before that

[@Loogiz]

#PumaCounts

[@tacticalwaffle2520]

i wish there was a bottle cap grenade my personal fav is quantum nade i wish it blew sooner though oh well

[@alexanderchippel]

How do you see the arc the grenade takes? Is it a perk, or is it only on console?

[@Psykwsths]

Ye its a perk. I think its the second rank of demo expert.

[@alexanderchippel]

Psykwsths Yeah I ended up Googling it, but thanks anyways. I would've thought it would be part of the perception perk itself, like at 7 or 8.

[@seeer3240]

Are you using the Spray and Pray in this video?

[@SergeantQuackersThe2nd]

At least Grenades are worth useing now when you compare to Fallout 3 and New Vegas which Grenades were basically useless in both games (that is I think 😕)

[@SergeantQuackersThe2nd]

*this is what

[@wwefan12211]

+James Platt holy hand grenades in fallout new vegas??

[@SergeantQuackersThe2nd]

+FTF Tay There is a very limited amount of holy hand Grenades but general grenades and mines are mostly useless

[@MarquisSmith]

Grenades are much better this time out, but it didn't really matter in New Vegas anyway, as most explosives builds would use one of the grenade launching weapons. Man, I miss those things.

[@wwefan12211]

James Platt very ture

[@adeadbeaver2877]

My favorite thing to do in Fallout 4 is to throw synth relay and gas grenades into cities, eat some roast, and melee the city to death.

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+MrMarkedMantis Tru dat.

[@1lucia]

Isn't it weird how of Console and PC players, PC players are the one that have acces to Console commands.

[@ricotheexmongolianslave692]

i miss dynamite from new vegas

[@thelonewolf6209]

Yeah

[@toaster5753]

How do you turn the green guide thing someone tell me pls

[@toaster5753]

How do you get the hellucegen gernades

[@dannycrow9742]

And a grenade weighs 0.5 while the baseball grenade weighs 1 pound unit

[@mrmoostash5051]

I see in power armor on the top left is says stimpack used but you don't pull anything up to use it, how do you do that

[@ryanmchugh4502]

It's a mod called medic pump that dispaches a stimpack when you are a 20 percent

[@thychozwart2451]

Mr Moostash power armor doesn't have an animation where the survivor sticks the stimpak in his chest because the Sole Survivor would have to push through steel and whatever other materials power armor are made of

[@highqueefyt2825]

I killed a Mirelurk Queen with the nuka grenade

[@jakewakelin5035]

I think the cryogenic grenade should act like the Molotov

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Jake Wakelin Could be interesting. I wish it actually froze enemies as opposed to slowing them down.

[@EfftingES]

When I throw grenades, I dont get that green light for aiming, how do I activate it? Its pretty hard to aim withouth that.

[@ricotheexmongolianslave692]

Filipi E.S demolition expert rank 2 or 3

[@ebonyhound967]

Hey Puma I see you like the T-51 power armour a lot, a good idea could be to get a mod that allows you to have X-01 power armour that looks like Different armours 😊

[@rowanB6074]

what gun were you using in the background

[@statusofaplum]

combat rifle with suppressor

[@rhyswyatt2905]

Plus the legendary effect explosion

[@thelonewolf6209]

Explosive Combat rifle

[@Dremeli]

Pulse grenade was great in Fallout 3 but it's quite a letdown in 4.

[@BuddhaOwl]

Were can I find that winterized power armor mod that happens to not be a vehicle?

[@boomboomoops7454]

what and you can just make it

[@BuddhaOwl]

+BOOMBOOM oops I can just make the operation Anchorage armor?were?

[@embreon4382]

3:01 Liberty prime: I MUST GO NOW MY PEOPLE NEED ME! Player: wtf...?

[@highqueefyt2825]

What about the nuke mine?

[@jay4022]

where do you find granades I've got some businessto attend to

[@boomboomoops7454]

what about homing beacon

[@alterablebark54]

I have a pulse grenade.. I'm on console so no console commands and I don't have demolition expert or science at all. i'd assume I got it from looting but I don't know. also if anyone need a Vault Tec Lunchbox, there's one at Pickman's gallery

[@nucleus691]

he meant a different pulse grenade cuz you can fin 2 pulse nades in fort hagen wich you wont miss....

[@tishalicup9807]

can someone tell me all weapons that all automatic weapons i really need to know if the spray and spray is automatic or not

[@cthomas5359]

the spray and pray is an automatic sub machine gun

[@tishalicup9807]

+Caige Yearton so it counts as automatic

[@TheDeadWannabe]

+Tisha Licup yes.

[@tishalicup9807]

+Vlack thanks :) now all i need is to find out all automatic weapons

[@TheDeadWannabe]

+Tisha Licup Combat rifle with any automatic receiver, assault rifle with any automatic receiver, plasma rifle with automatic/improved automatic barrel, laser rifle with automatic/improved automatic barrel, Sub Machine Gun, Railway Rifle with automatic receiver, laser musket with automatic legendary effect, pipe rifle with automatic receiver, and that is all, things like the minigun dont count, as they only work with the heavy weapons perk, same goes for any automatic pistol, they would benefit from gunslinger. Hope this helped.

[@chloelouve8762]

What gun does he use in the video?

[@VinylicPumaGaming]

+Lyra Hearthstrings It's an Explosive Combat Rifle with a Suppressor. I've called it the Super Spray N' Pray

[@chloelouve8762]

+VinylicPumaGaming well damn... Looks like I'm grinding fallout legendarys for awhile

[@doomylol3636]

Whoever was throwing the Molotovs in the beginning , moves are weak bruh.

[@juliandelgado2081]

¼l(pil)[

[@hoi3dd]

What`s the point of shooting on the background instead of showing us the weapon you talking about? Dislike.

[@exaid0556]

I used Molotov's for 2 reasons: 1 - no cooldown, 2 - I'm Russian🇷🇺
