Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher is a weapon that rapidly shoots explosive arching projectiles. It can be used as a movement tool, launching the player forward if they hit a wall at the right angle.

Prime rarity.

RPG

The RPG is a weapon that launches a blasting rocket. The rocket deals splash damage with no damage drop-off and applies critical damage on direct hits. The rocket knocks back the user, teammates, and enemies if they are in its radius, allowing for increased mobility despite the low movement speed of the weapon.

Explosive splash, applies a movement speed slow on hit.
