The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that appears in The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Lost and Damned
The weapon is based on the HK69A1 grenade launcher. The grenade launcher fires 40 mm grenades greater distances than a person throwing a hand grenade and is about as effective as a pipe bomb. It is best for removing cover, such as a car, however, the grenade does not land in a particular spot, making it less accurate. The grenade detonates on a five second fuse. Grenades can be fired at and bounced off walls to reach tricky targets. When engaging long range targets, the player must arc the shot (aim higher than the target) in order to compensate for gravity. Although the grenade launcher is ill-suited for aerial targets, the player can carry more rounds than the RPG allows.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
In the Ballad of Gay Tony, the Grenade Launcher features an interesting improvement in which the grenade explodes on impact if it hits a vehicle or person. Also, the time it takes for the grenade to explode has been shortened to about 2.5 seconds.
The grenade launcher is only available from either Terry Thorpe in The Lost and Damned or Armando Torres in The Ballad of Gay Tony. In The Lost and Damned, the weapon spawns at the Lost MC Clubhouse and Brian Jeremy's Safehouse after completing 50 Gang Wars.
Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, It is based on a multiple shot, revolver-type launcher, the Milkor MGL. Unlike in The Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony, this launcher will be able to fire more than one grenade before reloading.
