[edit] Overview
The Grenade Launcher is a medium range crowd control weapon available to the player when they train for commando. It features a medium rate of fire, high damage, medium range, and a variety of damage types. It has a 10m AOE (area of effect) but cannot hurt you if you are within the blast radius.
Tips for Using RPG Launchers:
Max Launchers if you are serious about using RPGs for the long term. The boost in damage and stun chances make them invaluable for crowd control.
The target of your RPG receives full damage from it, including damage bonuses on you (barring resistances and immunities). Anything hit by the AOE effect receives one half of the listed damage on the RPG launcher, with no bonuses added.
With fast bead times and slow rates of fire, RPGs can be used in a more mobile fashion against enemy groups than other weapons. Lock onto a target in the group, crouch to get full bead, fire, then run to a new position before crouching and firing again. Use this to duck in and out of cover to keep enemies that don't get stunned by your RPGs from firing back at you.
If you're trying to run away from enemies, fire a few rounds from a sonic RPG at the ground near their feet. They will still get hit by the AOE effect, which will either stun them in place, or knock them back if a critical hit occurs.
Think of RPGs as a different style of shotgun. Fast bead times let you maintain similar mobility to a shotgunner, while the stun offers similar crowd control to the shotgun's knockback, only it won't change enemy positions.
Each target hit by an RPG or its AOE effect has an independent chance to crit. This means that physical and incendiary RPGs will crit to produce DOTs, sonic RPGs will crit to knockback enemies from the point of impact, and ice RPGs will crit to root your targets in place.
