"Yes Rico, Kaboom!"

What is a shooter without having an almost unlimited supply of explosives?

In this blog post we'll be taking a look at a selection of grenades, grenade launcher rounds, rocket types, abilities and whatever else I could find that you might find interesting.

Keep in mind that explosive damage to yourself is enabled at all times ;)

Throw- and launchables

Sticky Grenade

Legally not a Semtex-Grenade, but functionally very much a sticky grenade. Once you throw it, it sticks to the first thing it touches.

While the fragmentation deals heavy flesh damage, it has limited effect on armored targets.

Incendiary Grenade

A perfect tool for area denial and dealing damage to hard-to-hit ground based enemies.

Also equipped with a smart fuse making the grenade explode only on a ground surface.

Incendiary Grenade

Depending on the angle the grenade has been thrown at, the resulting area of effect is smaller or larger.

The fire spreads in a cone with the main source fire always in the center of the impact point.

HEDP Shells

An all time classic for grenade and rocket launchers.

These things explode on contact with the first thing it touches!

HEDP Rocket and Grenade Launcher with HEDP Rounds

Good all-around-performance but a slow rate of fire as a trade off.

Abilities

Tracking Rockets

Perfect for flying or armored targets, these things lock on to every enemy you can think of.

Once the rocket misses or near-misses its target, it automatically self destructs to still inflict damage.

Tracking Rockets locking on

Up to 4 Rockets can be stored on a rack, and all 4 Rockets can individually lock on to a different enemy.

Plasma Caster

When using this experimental plasma weapon, you sacrifice your EM-BRs left hand for a powerful weapon shooting an orb of unstable plasma. The resulting explosion on contact with any surface is devastating, vaporizing almost any organic (or inorganic) material in its radius.

With this weapon equipped, you'll be limited to a few selected melee and ranged primary weapons, since the EM-BRs left Hand can no longer be used to reload the guns.
