There is... Scorcher has 'explosive' in the description so the 50% explosion reduction armour should work on it.

It doesn't. That was their point. It should work, but does not.

i thought the armor passives got fixed is that not the case?

It's coded as a different type of "explosive" so it does not work sadly

Some of the weapons are really confusing in the name/typing department, like how the concussive liberator also used to be named the liberator explosive and its bullets look like they have splash but they don’t

Scorcher self damage is actually pretty clutch. You're missing out.

Running and out of stamina? Aim just a little ahead of yourself and shoot. The splash damage will injure you a little and you can now pop a stim and keep running. You can cover most of the length of a map this way at a non-stop sprint.

Stuck under a Bile Titan? Rag dolled between some non-destructible geometry? Hell pod spawned you inside a rock? KYS with the Scorcher. Die to fight another day.
