I don't know about that. The teams that had an Incinerator were a royal headache. Not only did they hurt like hell, but the flames obscured your sight and made long-range engagement difficult.



I'm sure you noticed, but the chance for devastating criticals goes way up if you make a hard shot without using V.A.T.S. I could pick off large enemy parties without getting shot at because I was hidden too far away for them to even search. Rather comical, really.
