Underbarrel Grenade Launcher

[Sarda]

Do these exist? They existed in the previous metal gear game, but I've unlocked all the assault rifles to the point I can see them all and none of them have a underbarrel anything but a grip.

Yes. You can customize guns to an insane degree, you can also get underbarrel shotguns and even pistols and SMG's.

Where! What weapon development unlocks them, do I need to develope the stand alone grenade launchers? Because I'm 100% sure they aren't in the Assault Rifle tree.

Yes, you need to check the other trees for them. Certain upgrades have the "underbarrel conversion" unpgrade along with it.

So, yes, you need to upgrade a standalone grenade launcher to a certain level to get the underbarrel conversion.

Aha! thank you, I shall invest there next

You might want to invest in just one GL or shotgun, the later upgrades get really expensive.

Honestly, GL and shotun's only use to upgrade seems to be to get them to underbarrel slot. Once you get that, why equip them as a main?

The damage goes up with each stand alone launcher, maybe it's damage increases the mod as well? I won't know til I actually get them done

O underbarrel grenade launcher, you make life so much easier

Haha, yep. When i wanna go loud I usually get a my rifle with UGL and the shotgun revolver as a sidearm, alongside a sniper.

I am quite impressed with the weapon customization. Shame it takes so damn long to research and afford even simple components, but you can make some great looking and functional weapons with the system.

I'm wondering if we can attach to the underbarrel's of snipers, but right now it doesn't look like we can, at least from the tech tree I've seen so far.

You can. The soviet semi sniper can use a regular AR barrel ;)

Nice! Do any of the heavier hitting bolt actions get the option?

Otherwise, I got a rifle that fires large caliber bullets with a 4x scope, which has basically become my sniper rifle for one of my loadouts.

Didn't tested it, I dont want to spend so much GMP on the supressed .50 cal.

Fair enough mate.

Yeah, the weapon upgrades get ludicrously expensive. Starting to really feel like they've slightly imbalanced the economy to pressure you into microtransactions, which I hoped I wouldn't get.

Well I honestly can't tell if the grenade is any stronger after upgrading past the one that intitally has the underbarrel option.

You can take an Auto-Sniper put in Standard Assault-Rifle Ammo. That way it has less Penetration, but same Ammo Count as normal Assault-Rifles.. Meaning instead of 20/20 you have 20/190 and keep the same damage. XD

Again a good tip is to get the MRS assault rifle with Suppressor lvl 2. If you have that you can equip that Suppressor to all Assault Rifles AND Snipers. That Suppressor it good enough for 30 Shots i believe, which is more than your Sniper Ammo-Count.

Can you get the underbarrel launcher to fire stun grenades by upgrading the base launcher? Their a bit out of my r&d capability atm but it would be nice to work tword.
