High Explosive Ammunition, commonly known as HE Ammo, or simply HE is a very unique ammo mod. It increases weapon damage by a paltry 3%, but offers much to offset this. It adds a burning effect that causes targets to take 5% more damage from attacks, AND applies 50% Fire Vulnerability, effectively increasing the damage dealt to the target from fire and explosives by 50%. This makes HE ammo incredibly effective for Demolitions, as it synergizes with his Mines, Satchels, Armaggedon, and will stack with his own Fire Vulnerability. It also works well with high splash weapons such as the XM814 Heavy Machine Gun and Crowbar. Best of all is when used in combination with the Flamethrower MK-3, Laser Rifle, Stinger MK-3, as it is essentially a passive 50% damage boost. It is best to avoid giving it to character with low/no splash weapons, particularly Marksmen greedy for any Ammo Mod they can find. Using HE ammo on a weapon with no splash severely depletes its effectiveness.
