Loadout Description

Rotary Grenade Launcher

This rapid-fire GL has a holographic targeting aid that shows where the grenade will land.

Gameplay

This weapon is a typical grenade launcher. It shoots grenades that fly in an arc trajectory and bounce 3 or 4 times before exploding. They explode immediately if they directly hit an enemy or a breakable object. They deal usual damage, they'll kill a Battlelord in 4-5 direct hits. They also have pretty standard splash damage. It has a relatively slow rate of fire, but doesn't need to reload. Like most explosive weapons, Rotary Grenade Launcher is ineffective against heavy armoured targets. It can also blast open cracks in the walls.

By pressing Alt-Fire, you can use the Trajectory Calculator, which shows you a projection of where your grenade will go and where it will explode. This is particularly useful if you aren't sure of your shot. It can also assist you in aiming at a distant target. However know that enemies will react if the projection lands directly onto them.

Since its grenades can bounce, this weapon is useful for taking out enemies from behind wall angles without showing yourself. You must be careful in enclosed areas though, not only because of splash damage but also because the grenade may bounce back at you. Like most weapons of the type, it is good against groups of enemies or lonely mini-bosses thanks to its power and splash damage. However its slow rate of fire by default can be problematic. The upgrade erases this weakness.

You will gain 10 grenades per pick-up and you can hold up to 50 in total.

Upgrades

GL ROF Mod

This upgrade will increase the rate of fire of the weapon. This makes it more reliable when facing groups or mini-bosses, especially since there's no reload to take into account. This upgrade will also change the weapon's chassis color to bright red. Costs 150 polymers.
