When I use explosive weapons, such as rockets and grenades, to reduce the health of enemies, am I losing or reducing the amount of loot these enemies will drop, or does loot destruction only apply to killing blows with explosives?
Answer
Explosive weapons (such as Launchers and thrown Grenades) will only destroy the equipment of a target when they are the killing blow. If they only injure a target with an explosive weapon this causes no damage to their equipment and they will still produce a corpse if later killed. They are even still available for live capture.
A quick explosive to destroy cover followed by a hail of gunfire is an effective take down measure, and won’t cost you any of the materials you could expect to obtain.
