I keep hearing conflicting reports from the community about whether the explosives bonus for the Min commando suit applies to the Swarm Launcher and no one seems to be able to provide definitive evidence for either opinion.
I and many others speced into the Min Commando suit specifically because we understood that the min commando's explosive bonus would apply to swarm launchers.
Can a Dev please confirm whether the min commando's explosive damage bonus applies to Swarm launchers.
Thanks. |

afaik Swarms are listed under Explosive in the SDE and as such the Minnie Commando would apply to SL as well.
Can't you test with two different suits to make sure?

Well, it shoots a swarm of missiles, which seek and explode on contact with enemy vehicles, followed by a small explosion and some explosion noises.
Nah, it's not an explosive weapon.

It is explosive. It shoots missles so i assume it would be explosive. |

It makes sense that it is explosives, but in most SL or Min commando related threads different people are posting opposite opinions/declarations. I want to see proof: either someone who has reliably tested it against a vehicle, or a posting/chart/announcement from CCP or one of their devs.
Not sure how i can reliably test it myself. I can't think of an opponent on the field that would sit still while I switched fits and hammered his vehicle. |

According to the Dev Blog, the Minmatar bonus applies to all explosives light weaponry, this likey including the swarm launcher.

It can't be an explosive weapon. It has a splash radius like a Railgun does, so it's clearly a hybrid weapon. But it's got shorter range than the rail-based Forge Gun, so logically, we can conclude that it uses Blaster tech.
Unfortunately, the damage bonus is being applied incorrectly, because as a Blaster weapon, Swarms should have a bonus to damaging shields instead of armour.

My passive bonus to nanohives doesnt always work on my CaLogistics. I can always tell because they dry up as soon as I toss them down.
Side note, damage profile notwithstanding, The Swarm is a Caldari Weapon. Wiyrkomi is a Caldari corporation, and they manufacture the Swarms I blow sh*t up with on a daily basis. I know the lore is fukt in DUST, but if the Minman gets a bonus to swarms, the swarm should be changed, or sold by Boundless or some crap.

There is ALSO a bug where nanohives only distribute about 60% of what they should before they explode. Had it happen a few times to me. (was not a suit with nano related skill)

#TL;DR#
Yes it does apply.
#/END TL;DR#
And here are some SDE answers.
The Minmatar Commando skill applies a 2% increase per level to the following combination of tags (gun + suit combined):
- tag_weaponclass_explosive (from gun)
- tag_light (from gun)
- tag_dropsuit_commando (from suit)
- tag_minmatar (from suit)
The two involved types:
Both items above contain the correct tags for this bonus to apply.
If it isn't currently applying, it must be down to the passive skill bug. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

Check with eve online. Caldari don't just use railguns, they are notorious missile users as well. |
