Glitches

 * When you target anyone in VATS with incendiary rounds and exit VATS they will catch on fire, even though you don't fire the weapon. This will work to ignite entire groups of enemies simply by cycling through them and exiting VATS. (Patched)
 * If incendiary rounds are added (in high amounts) through console it may crash/freeze the game on PC.
