The Explosive Module is a lower weapon part used only in Dead Space 3.
Description[]
It adds an explosive charge to the last shot fired. It is known to work with: Heavy and Compact Telemetry spike (Excluding the Chain Gun) Heavy and Compact Rip Core and Survey Charges.
Unlike the Electrocution version, the Explosive Module can work on all shots starting with the last shot fired. Therefore, this module can be used repeatedly until all shots are exploded.
This module works well with the River Shotgun, because it technically shoots multiple rivets per shot.
Appearance[]
Effects[]
Rivet Gun: It adds a ricochet effect to the last spike fired.
Rivet Shotgun: It adds a ricochet effect to 1 spike at a time, allowing for a wide spread minefield.
Grenade and Rocket Launchers: Adds the ability to detonate grenades and rockets in mid-flight.
Javelin Gun: It's similar to the Javelin gun's special upgrade in DS2.
Line Gun Mine: It explodes the mine early.
Compatibility Requirements for Grenade and Rocket Launchers[]
By default this module doesn't work with Incendiary Grenades, Grenades, or Rockets. Rate of Fire upgrades must be added to the Survey Charge to make it usable. Mk II weapons require less Rate of Fire upgrades due to the upgrade from the tip.
