Grenade launchers Damage against chargers.

[WTFłłVIPΣR]

it needs a buff. a massive buff. it took 3 mags in the but to kill one but a stupid volt weapon can take it out in 2-3 shots.... i can kill a bile titan faster than that.

Here is a little tip
Grenade launcher can kill chargers relatively easy if you hit their squishy butt
Any other place will just get you a ricochet

I think it would be cool to have the GL get the Doom Eternal Grenade launcher cacodemon combo. At least as a massive damage bonus and stun effect.

This is not really viable when the charger is on YOU. The Charger is in a real need of a weakpoint overhaul.

So, its a fact that the grenade launcher deals absolutely 0 damage to chargers and titans when struck at armour. Not even AOE damage. You need to target its arse and even then its not the correct weapon for the job.

If only there were multiple weapons in the game that could kill chargers in a single shot.

Ah, what a crazy world that would be.

Perhaps if they added something like a one use rocket launcher you could one shot a charger with.

Nah that'd be insane what am I talking about.

Well maybe if they added some sort of multi-use rocket launcher with a backpack of ammo that could one shot chargers.

Nah that'd be silly!

Really should be reverted outside the expendable anit tank. Hell the head should not be it's weakpoint and it's tail should be with the top part of the tail being medium armor.

Not, it's not. Viable tactics is to shoot under the charger. Nades will explode near his butt, dealing damage.

it is 100% viable. you have to learn to dodge them. square up, bait the charge, then sprint at them. when theyre about 5-10m away, run AROUND them. they will miss you and then stop to turn around. you get about 1-2 seconds of time to shoot their ass. thats more than enough time, i promise. 2-3 dodges and you can kill it with almost ANY gun. you can even do this with multiple chargers on you at the same time. just go into a lvl3 charger kill mission and practice the dodge for a while until you get it down.

alternatively, bring an EAT or a recoilless rifle and shoot them once in the face.

Hit the only "Weakspot" they have. Grenade Launchers isn't made for Heavily Armored targets but it is still usable. Your main use of the Grenade Launcher effectively is for enemies clumped together. Alongside it is very useful against Bug Holes.

EATs, they will change ur whole game when it comes to dealing with chargers and such. There's also a ship module that reduces the cooldown for them by 10% so u can dump them out every minute

just remember to aim for the head, u absolutely must hit the head otherwise u'll have to shoot them 2-3 times instead of once

I said it still sucks to hit their butt i shoot their butt it does not work well. it make sense how a flamethrower can kill it quicker when the bugs can live on HELL-MIRE!!!!

all im saying is to have a fleshy hit when the mouth is wide open. i should be able to shove democracy down that bugs throat not just shove my democracy launcher in his ass.

thank you. but i don't just want to make the charger ♥♥♥♥♥♥, i just want the hit-boxes to be accurate and the big ass of the charger to die to explosives. when it explodes from 3 little volt shots and its a primary. it just makes the grenade launcher look stupid.

yeaaa, but i just wish it took 2 flat mags AT LEAST i mean its just too much right now.

I do not think everyone weapon should be viable against every enemy type. I like how certain weapons have really strong advantages and weaknesses. The grenade launcher is amazing for objectives while being strong against crowds. Sure it's weak against heavily armored enemies, but it's still an S-tier weapon for the role it plays.
