Grenade launchers Spawn on Heavy scientists. They can't be researched or crafted.

The grenade launcher has an internal magazine of 6 rounds, and can choose from 3 types of ammunition:

  • 40mm Shotgun Round
  • 40mm HE Grenade
  • 40mm Smoke Grenade

While Shotgun Shells can be bought in the Bandit Camp, the other types of ammunition as well as the grenade launcher itself can only be found on Heavy scientists.

40mm Shotgun Round[]

Using the 40mm Shotgun Round, the grenade launcher becomes the most powerful shotgun in the game, combining up to 270 damage per shot with a big magazine and high fire rate. Similarly to the remaining shotguns, this ammunition has a headshot multiplicator of 1.25x, so it's best to aim for the centre of mass.


40mm HE Grenade[]

Being only obtained from Heavy scientists, this valuable ammunition can both be used to raid as well as to deal Area damage.

40mm Smoke Grenade[]

Similarly to the Smoke Grenade, this ammunition quickly creates a smoke screen. Thanks to the grenade launchers high fire rate, one can quickly deploy a wide smoke wall, denying sight over a wide angle.
