Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV's episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. The grenade launcher fires 40 mm grenades greater distances than a person throwing a hand grenade and is about as effective as a pipe bomb. It is best for removing cover, such as a car, however, the grenade does not land in a particular spot, making it less accurate. The grenade detonates on a seven second fuse. Grenades can be fired at and bounced off walls to reach tricky targets. When engaging long range targets, the player must arc the shot (aim higher than the target) in order to compensate for gravity. It is primarily a ground weapon, however the Grenade Launcher can be used against helicopters if the player is on a high rooftop.
The Grenade Launcher is the only weapon from The Lost and Damned to be available in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It features an interesting improvement in which the grenade explodes on impact if it hits a vehicle or person. Also, the time it takes for the grenade to explode has been shortened to about 4 seconds.
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.
