Strategy And Tips
While the Grenade Launcher seems very potent at first, you'll soon realize that it's not as useful as it's counterpart, the Pipe Launcher. Because they explode after a certain amount of time, you have much less control over the grenades; something you need to effectively use grenades in the first place.
Since you don't have to make a timed grenade explode manually, they're great when you need to shoot a grenade directly at an enemy. Since they explode fairly quickly, it's very possible that the target will suffer a little bit of splash damage, even if he manages to avoid the grenade hitting him directly.
Be careful; the Grenade and Pipe Launcher share a magazine. Once you're done using the Grenade Launcher and want to switch to the Pipe Launcher, give yourself a second or two to reload before switching; it'll make your life much easier.
