About this weapon

The Grenade Launcher is the first weapon with an area of effect, or "AoE". Keep an eye on its range: it can't fire at an opponent who is too close (but that also keeps you from hitting yourself with the AoE).

Its damage is decent, but its real strength lies in its ability to hit several enemies at once and to flush opponents out of their hiding places. Thanks to area damage, you can hit an opponent hidden behind an obstacle. This weapon is similar to the Rockfall chip, except that it deals more damage and can be used more than once per turn.

Damage per TP: 9.17 to 10.5

Note: this weapon is a good way to climb the fun ranking for allies killed if you handle its area of effect badly.

How it works

Main article: AoE

As with all areas of effect, the value of the effect (here, the damage) is reduced by the distance between the cell targeted by the shooter and the affected cells. If the distance between an entity and the targeted cell is 1, the damage is multiplied by 0.8 (before armor is applied); if that distance is 2, the damage is multiplied by 0.6.
