Blast Radius

Blast Radius is a ranged weapon stat that is available only to Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers. It increases the size of the projectile's explosion.

Damage

A higher Blast Radius stat allows a guardian to hit more enemies with larger explosions. Damage falls off further away from the epicenter of the explosion, in other words, enemies further from the epicenter take more damage.

Grenade Launchers

Grenade Launchers lose impact damage with a higher Blast Radius stat with more of its damage budget allocated to the explosive portion. This interaction is notable when using a perk like Spike Grenades which increases damage output for the impact portion only.

Rocket Launchers

Blast Radius does not affect a Rocket Launcher's impact damage nor its total damage output. It simply increases the size of the explosion and the damage taken by enemies further away.
