Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that appeared in the downloadable episodic pack The Lost and Damned for Grand Theft Auto IV. The grenade launcher is about as effective as a pipe bomb, but has further range. It is best for removing cover, such as a car, however, the grenade does not land in a particular spot, making it less accurate. This is a very powerful weapon, but it is unpredictable and you can accidentally fire a shell at your feet and not notice until you die. Unlike the Rocket Launcher, the cartridge does not explode on impact. A 7 or so second fuse is what detonates the cartridge. While not accurate in most respects, this will kill enemies, blow up cars, and remove the rotor from helicopters.

Trivia

  • It was originally going to make an appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City but was taken out without any explanation.
  • Whenever a grenade from this hits the rotor on any helicopter, the helicopter will either instantly lose its rotor, lose its tail, explode, or start smoking.
