Why take pressure wave over incindeary compound when it reduces damage taken from rocket jumps? (as well as heating you in glacial strata)

because then it would have basically no armor break? this was explained in the description lmao
although i should clarify that im using armor break to hit pretorians in the weakpoint without running around them while they try to turn to attack me

Armor break is bugged, and rj dmg penalty makes it so that you literally can't kill grunts within 1 shots threshold on splash (not direct) making your engi doesn't have good crowd clear and plus incendiary compound heat will lit grunts on fire and kill them even if they're at the edge of the splash. This mod choices would be kinda fine if you're using pack rat or clean sweep.

Every point you make is correct, so please don't suggest using pack rat to newer players when compact rounds exist and are a direct upgrade.

i wasn't aware that armor breaking was bugged, what's wrong with it?

Some armor break mods work, others don't, others are in-between. For the PGL, armor break only works against health-based armor (like a praetorian's - some armor has a certain amount of health, other armor has a chance to break on taking damage, like a grunt), and even then, it only works if you DON'T hit the praetorian directly. Not worth it on the PGL.
