The incredible ineffectiveness of Remote Detonation against Marauders
0This is NOT a pro-lock on video, I did this because I heard some talking about using remote detonation against marauders. According to the damage chart, which to be fair hasn't been updated yet, remote detonation should do 320 damage against marauders, which is blatantly not happening here. Honestly, that would have been decent against groups of 4 or more marauders (multiple marauders is the topic of a future guide I want to make), but I tried fighting 12 or so marauders at once with it and, believe me, I think I used something like 200 remote detonations during that fight. My right hand can tell the tale.
The reason is that splash damage scales with distance, but only starting from a certain range. It's less frequent with stickies and rockets (even though it can happen regardless), but with RD due to its very own nature it is fairly easy to detonate a rocket when the target is already outside of the "magic box". The explosive array upgrade only adds more noise and inconsistencies to this.
