Did Burst Bombs get buffed???

Is it just me, or did Burst Bombs get buffed? I remember a single burst bomb doing about 20 damage (100 health total) in the firing range, but now they do 60 (!!). If it's true, then this sub weapon is waaaaay more useful as a splatting option.

No, they were always capable of those numbers. Burst Bombs can hit for 3 different base damage amounts: 60 (direct hit), 35 (heavy graze), or 20 (light graze). Personally, I wouldn't count on getting many direct hits, but if you do get them, they're definitely powerful enough to splat if combined with more Burst Bombs or shots from your main weapon.

I heard ver 2.0.0 made them more reliable to do a direct hit with.

Really? I'm still landing direct hits that apparently aren't actually direct hits. Not sure if it's lag or something.
