Grenade Launcher Grenade Launcher "Leave it to me, lad." | |
The Grenade Launcher is the default primary weapon of the Demoman. It is a cartoony grenade launcher with an oversized six-slot ammo chamber, held with its wooden stock and foregrip, that shoots glowing team-colored explosive canisters. Despite having six chambers on its model, the Grenade Launcher only loads four grenades at a time.
The Grenade Launcher fires fast grenades (also known as "pipe bombs") that arc in the air and explode on contact with enemies and their buildings, dealing 100 damage against that enemy at any range, plus splash damage against any enemy nearby. If the grenade hits a surface, it will not explode on contact, instead bouncing and rolling on the ground until it naturally explodes. All grenades will explode after 2.3 seconds, even if they are soaring through the air, only dealing 60 base damage. As a consequence, grenades can be shot off map surfaces to bounce them into enemy positions, and they will still act as area denial even if the user is unable to directly hit an enemy. This makes the grenade launcher a powerful, though difficult-to-use weapon in direct combat, and one of the few weapons able to act as a threat even during indirect combat. The grenades will have significantly less velocity when shot underwater.
Because the user takes damage and knockback from their own grenade explosions, they are able to use them as an explosive jump to reach heights otherwise unobtainable. This offers less control and velocity than a similar jump from the Stickybomb Launcher.
