0.o I think I just fell in love...

[RazorEXE]

Explosives damage on top of plasma? No prob. Take Adamantium Skeleton and Duck and Cover and you're practically invincible.

[Kikeesperto]

WEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYTT­T!!!!!

[Eplex555]

I have this perk,its good,very good,but sometimes really annoying,u basicly cant use energy weapons near anyone,if it explodes,it fucking cripples all of your limbs.

[TheMsMETALscorpion]

[elamo66]

[Scanda4]

[Bandersnatch187]

@Scanda4 Q-35 Matter Modulator

[Arbyther]

Yeah its pretty good, but it has one VERY big downside, if the enemy is too close to you then the explosion does GIANT amount of damage to you aswell

[youlolmuch]

@Arbyther yeh thats why i didnt get it

[SuperHaloreachguy]

[itinkgirlzhot12]

i wonder what this perk would do if i use euclides-c finder

[ryry3553]

QUAD!

[bobombthekoopa]

everyone be carefull when choosing meltdown.it easily kills you or friendlies,making enrgy weapons hard to use in close up spots which i find myself doing a lot.super mutants with sledghammers,deathclaws,pretty much any vault makes it very hard to use energy weapons a lot.this was on non hostile people who were close to eachother

[headshot22331]

@bobombthekoopa thats what power armor is for, same for stimpacks :)

[bobombthekoopa]

@headshot22331 u obviously dont play on hardcore,when stimpacks heal over time.and power armor doesnt matter much because meltdown is very strong

[BeatlesSydBarrett9]

Oh shit that's what it does! :D I was expecting like a small goo pile that emits damage rather than radiation! :D

[blackdragon5007]

Gatling Laser+ Meltdown=FTW

[pivotpatrick]

@blackdragon5007 Gatling Laser + Meltdown = EPIC RAEP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boxdynomite3]

this perk is a curse so dont get it cuz in close quarters, YOU GET HURT FROM THE EXPLOSION

[insight1337]

@boxdynomite3 That's why you must plan ahead and have some sort of close range weapon. Ideally you want melee or unarmed. The problem is not enough perks to make you char all round good. I am thinking about installing perk every level mod..

[boxdynomite3]

@insight1337 well I'm primarily a sniper so I thought that would be great splash damage but the close range encounters get me off when caught with an energy weapon

[insight1337]

@boxdynomite3 I solved this problem by taking guns instead of melee. Because I have trigger discipline trait, I shall use automatic weapons. Minigun is a great close range weapon. Basically, the only disadvantage of meltdown is being unable to use close range plasma weapons like multipas rifle which acts like a shotgun. As for the gauss rifle, this perk is blessing.

[boxdynomite3]

@insight1337 well i'm lvl 35 with 100 energy weapons so theres no changing with that character

[WoRlDFare2]

@boxdynomite3

Cant be 35lvl???

[jjjjj3452]

@WoRlDFare2 you can if you have the dlc

[DavidAnthonyRuiz]

you should put there "WTF BOOM"

[lamoboy]

hmmm i wonder what will happen if i use telsa cannon with this perk? :D

[Chunkmunk11]

@lamoboy All hell will break loose

[TheBrailo]

@lamoboy

[Devastationable]

omg i should crank my energy weapon :(

[Lockerboythethird]

Kabloooey!

I wonder if this perk becomes even more awesome if taken with the bloody mess perk.

[dannybaker1]

Meltdown + Plama caster = 1 hell of a fun game =D

[unholychild2117]

this perk with a guess rifle= most best weapon ever

[lamoboy]

@unholychild2117 u mean gauss rifle

[C0ckTa1LPRIX]

@lamoboy yh but theres a special

[heavenlypimp]

does any1 know if this works with the unique gauss rifle YCS?

[Amainville93]

@heavenlypimp I know your comment is from 6 months a go, so you've porbably already figured this out, but no. If I recall correctly, it only works with plasma weapons, and the YCS is not a plasma weapon.

[EmperorHelix]

@Amainville93 No, you're wrong, it works with ANY weapon under the skill "Energy Weapons". Enemies will even go meltdown when killed with a Flamer. Good perk, but in close quarters, it's too risky. Better to ignore this perk for something else, like Laser Commander.

[TheCrimson7272]

wonder if it works with archmedes 2 O_o

[GECK1609]

That's sexy

[DrkrZen]

Daaaamn, I didn't expect Meltdown to do anything like that. My next playthrough, I'm definitely making an Energy Weapon build with that perk.

[TechnoExploder]

FREAKING NICE :D it's a good thing i have energy weapons :D

[Daniel36099]

its a good and bad perk

you can end up killing you'r companions and

the flamethrower can make this explosion which is kinda Dumb

[ItsNOYFB]

Holy shit that's fucking aswome thanks for showing that ill be the first to give you green thumbs up! i was just leveling up and im getting that perk now that's for makeing a beliver out of me. :)

[OreillyORLY]

@ItsNOYFB

I have pwned Caesar and all his followers(except of 2 guys staying too far away) in his tent just with to shots with my Pew-Pew, those dickheads thought it would be a great Idea pushing me in the corner... EPIC Devastation!

It's easily my favorite Perk, looks best with Gauss Rifle, Tesla Cannons or Plasma Rifles(regular or the special plasma rifles like the Q-35)

looks bit weird on laser based weapons(technical and color wise tough)

very fun Perk.
