Weird. Mine do minimal (100~) more damage then snipe... Never seen it hit for 1.6x a snipe.. Thanks for that btw, I guess I was totally wrong.

Explosive probe is a dps loss compaired to a MM speced snipe. Take it off your bar at 40+ and never use it again.

On story quest level 24 and still only have my two companions (Chick and robot) anyone know when we get third and onward?

Hey Bro, George Lucas here. Sorry our Suppliers have dissapoint you. Will pick them better next time bro. Lovingly, George Lucas
