I recently got Phantom Liberty DLC and got the charged projectile launcher perk. Since I have gotten this my charged projectile launcher shot no longer has explosion visual effects. The default shot still does have the effects.
EDIT: Reinstalled the game seemed to fix it.
Are you using any mods?
No, used one mod awhile ago to get rid of the relic malfunction glitch but other than that none.
I’m not able to reproduce the issue. I see a projectile and resulting explosion.
Are you in a new game since 2.01 or is this an older save game that predates the updates?
This was a save I started prior to 2.01 and before I had the DLC.
If you say you can see it I wonder if that mod inadvertently disabled the effects for the launcher as well. I will try to verify the game files tonight.
