pre prototype bfg. too grandiose.
the current prototype now does less damage but more explosive damage.
it does 35direct damage with 20 piercing, subject to skill bonuses and headshots. it bounces from target to target, flowing plasma (minor heat dam) and dropping 1 copy of its ammo at each target.
Each ‘bfg ammo’ dropped at the foot of each monster hit will emit corrosive radioactive gas, more plasma, and has a 15℅ chance to rip a medium sized hole in reality. after 2 ‘turns’ (essentially 0-1 combat turn) it turns into a new item that explodes for 60 power and 4 shrapnel.
shrapnel has a random vector and can 1shot a PC without armor.
this can easily deal hundreds of damage to a target. ive seen over 100 damage dealt by the shot alone. but 50-80 is average for a brute.
so yes. i think a hulk could survive it. but the more clustered the enemy is the more damage it does
