which is better

[SØNNE]

the 40mm grenade launcher or the 25mm one? i'm leaning towards the one with the higher damage, but the 25mm seems to have more mods

25mm APW is meant for lighter damage but faster attacks, along with a much bigger magazine before you have to reload.
Honestly they're both pretty viable.

25mm is more practical as a primary weapon as the ammunition is much cheaper, lighter, and available in larger quantities. The 25mm APW is also the only explosive launcher you can easily use indoors without killing yourself.

40mm Launchers are unwieldly in close-combat as they load individual shells instead of magazines. They are *not* what you'd want to bring to say, a cazadore fight. In fact, the Grenade Launcher is probably one of the worst weapons to use against them, only beating out a Grenade Rifle without a Long-Barrel attachment.

The lighter damage on 25mm is also a hidden blessing as it gets you more value out of the Hit The Deck perk.

Both Grenade Rifles and Launchers are probably best suited as secondary or teritiary weapons. (I prefer the Rifle for the Range and light weight on my lower strength characters.)

40mm is more accurate, and shoots farther, and higher damage.

I prefer 25mm better tho. More mods and harder to hurt yourself.

The 40mm launcher is an extremely situational weapon. So is the the 25 mm one, but at least it can be viable in more situations.
Still, I prefer to lay traps with mines and let enemies walk over. Worked like a charm since Fallout 3.

25mm AWP is one of the most useful weapons in the game.

Depends on your aim.

Gosh, I didn't know we had another explosive Sniper weapon in this game

There's technically five. Grenade launcher, grenade machine gun, mercy, grenade AWP, and .50 caliber explosive shells. The other launchers aren't very suitable for ranged battles.

I knew I should've added /s to the end
I was being sarcastic because he said AWP, not APW
AWP is a variant of the Artic Warfare series of snipers by Accuracy International.
