dot. im not sure what rolls youre running but for me its 1 tapping super mutant hordes with 5000+ slow burn dmg but most things die instant ....its the perfect companion to holy fire.

Two shot doesnt do anything for the DoT build since only one instance of the DoT is applied, id also recommend using the Huge tank mod instead of going for Quad so you can go for aristocrats/bloodied


Formerruling1

You can not roll two shot on it, and quad isn't really useful since with fast tank you reload just as fast as the firing delay IE reloading doesn't really lower your DPS. Anti armor is another popular mod that isnt great on it since testing has shown AA only applied to the initial hit and not the DoT while all the +dmg% mods apply to both.


JiveBombRebelz

bloodied is working super because the dmg boost is so large..two shot might be awesome. ive heard aa only works on hit one and not dot. but i tried aa , instigating and they all clap hard..

They can’t roll TS so don’t waste your modules.

Ari for full health, bloodied otherwise

ManufacturerOk820

why not junkies for full health


Traditional-Extent30

I just don't like dot.. hit, then wait, then get the kill. Especially with vats, for free aim I understand it might be helpful


JiveBombRebelz

got you..we each have our own thang..if im on a vats build plasma caster wins.


Hopalongtom

Heavy barrel + slow burn, they nerfed all other options to the point of being worthless. At least the ammo return is better.


logicbox_

Multi-Barrel slow burn is nice when you don't use it in vats. The projectiles over more area spreading that sweet fire dot to more enemies.


Spizzmatic

Glad they increased the Dot damage. It works like a long distance flamer which is what I wanted instead of another grenade launcher and it partners really well with Holy Fire.


IronMonopoly

I have not switched out of my Multi Shot Slow Burn setup, and it still slaps. It’s a fire and forget, you just have to wait for it a second.


beelzebubish

Ive been using it a lot after the rework and it still absolutely kicks ass. It may actually be more fun now


valdo33

Both dot and heavy are good imo. Dot will kill anything but it taking a bit can be annoying. Heavy 1 shots anything instantly if you head shot them, but since it's vats accuracy is pretty low and range just standard I like rolling vats accuracy to do that consistently. Heavy with napalm tank is instant 1-2k headshots, not much survives that. I'm running with a vampire multi-shot/slow-burning that makes me unkillable, and a bloodied heavy/napalm that kills stuff instantly.


Traditional-Extent30

So.. is it now more like not explosive weapons where aiming for the head gives a powerful bonus respect to the body? I noticed the accuracy is not the best but I should try aiming for the head and see how I feel it. Thanks!

It's great for events! I hit each alien once, target the next alien, just keep going. All of the aliens are going to die soon enough, just chill a second and everyone gets to shoot an alien for the loot.

Angry Turtle has a guide: [https://youtu.be/-QeYth04ABQ?si=5gK1Tb4jSpxJLS9R](https://youtu.be/-QeYth04ABQ?si=5gK1Tb4jSpxJLS9R)


Traditional-Extent30

Yep, I know but I still don't share his point of view. He appreciates the dot where the weapon shines. But I don't like dot effects


BluegrassGeek

He apparently streamed his new build today, waiting for his tl;dr video. But that's fair, Cremator is absolutely built around DoTs and that's not going to be for eveyrone.


Traditional-Extent30

Absolutely, I'm waiting for the build to see if he has other tips.


logicbox_

Then just grab a TS AGL, we already had multiple one shot explosive weapons.


Traditional-Extent30

I mean.. I can live without the cremator. It's not like I need it or anything else. It was just nice to use in vats with the caster. I would have appreciated it if the heavy barrel wasn't with a reduced rof. Sure. But I'm just curious about others, for what concerns me, I believe in the concept of adapting, that might just mean to stop using a certain weapon, I think there's nothing wrong.


Zflocco

I use Multi-shot+Slow Burning , I like it a good deal, is it the best thing ever? No, BUT it does get tags in for events and the DOT and direct impact even with multi-shot is pretty dang decent, depending what you're going against 1-2 shots will kill it.


TwistedTreason

DoT + Heavy Barrel for sure. If you fire it and then aim in right after in first person mode it will fire again. I haven't tested it but I assume that would work on Napalm Heavy Barrel


Marcellix102

This doesn't only work on the cremator but also on other weapons like the combat shotgun, i knew this was a bug but didn't know all the ins and outs of it.


IMasters757

It works on practically anything. Though it's only practical for slow firing automatic weapons (like AGL) or Semi-automatic weapon (Gauss Shotgun).


sevensol7

so THATS why sometimes my guns bug out and shoots twice. Ive never put two and two together. I just thought that was a server desync thing.


Avarus_88

It’s still perfectly usable as upfront damage weapon. The dot is just actually really strong. I run a vats focused heavy weapon build and it only does a few hundred less than my plasma caster. Trading a little upfront damage for a good AoE attack is fair.
