Achievement
I’m sure the author of this article meant well, but the strategy listed is absolute overkill if you’re simply trying to knock this achievement out. There is no need starting a new game and add points to a skill you’re otherwise not going to use.

Obviously if explosives is a skill you use often then you will get this achievement through the course of the game, but if you’re like me and rarely use them, its still pretty easy to get it. I never needed to buy anything, I just used what I picked up in the game. In fact I did it with mostly Frag Grenades and a few rounds from the Grenade Rifle and my explosives skill is only 34. The skill requirement for both of those is only 25 so they’re perfect for knocking out this achievement. Keep in mind, once you have the skill requirement for a weapon met, raising it any higher wont make you any more deadly with that weapon.

Armed with only frag grenades you obviously don’t want to be going up against super mutants and death claws, if you try you will most likely get your ass kicked. Stick to softer human targets. Fiends, Powder Gangers, Jackal and Viper Gang members make perfect targets. One grenade and they’re done. If you get lucky and they’re grouped together you can take 2-3 out at once. Having never used any explosive weapons throughout the game, it took me about 4 rounds through Fiend territory and stops at some hangouts of the other groups mentioned and I had the achievement. If you haven’t cleaned out Vault 3 yet that’s a perfect place to rack up a lot of explosive damage. Just remember in close quarters like that you will most likely inflict a lot of damage on yourself as well so be prepared. You can use this exact same strategy for the melee and unarmed achievements as well. Just my 2 cents. ReapTheChaos 12:03, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
