Explosives Expert Covenant in Vanguard Zombies
With this perk, your explosions will deal extra damage to the enemy without affecting you as much. While the Ray Gun splash damage remains unchanged, the explosion damage from Splatterfest and Energy Mine has increased. The three tiers of upgrades for the Explosives Expert Covenant are as follows:
- Rare: Explosions deal 50 percent more damage to the enemy and 50 percent less damage to you.
- Epic: Explosions deal 75 percent more damage to the enemy and 75 percent less damage to you.
- Legendary: Explosions deal 100 percent more damage to the enemy and 100 percent less damage to you.
With the addition of these two special perks, there are currently 17 Covenants in Vanguard Zombies. Players can buy and upgrade these abilities from the Alter of Covenants by spending Sacrificial Hearts, the items that you get after completing objectives.
