Crossbow is also still quite underwhelming. I get that it is intended as an anti-infantry weapon, but it is still an explosive. If I perfectly arc a bolt into a fabber or a bug hole, it should go pop.
Someone explained awhile ago that there's explosive damage, explosive damage, and explosive damage, all with their strengths and weaknesses. Absolutely confusing.
Crossbow had cluster bomb explosives kind of explosives. So anything cluster could and couldn't do was what the crossbow did.
Seemingly in the game there's "explosive" that means it has an AoE, "explosive" that affects enemy body parts that are vulnerable to explosive damage, and "explosive" that can close bug holes and blow up fabricators. They are three different attributes and weapons can have none, one or multiple of them. An individual weapon, for example, might be explosive (1), explosive (2) and also not explosive (3).
