How do I use the blaster launcher?

[StillInLoveAteMyRibs]

Hi, with the blaster launcher I'm supposed to be able to make waypoint for guiding the bomb but the only thing the game let's me do is throw it and, as you can immagine it, it's not very useful. What do I do?

[StillInLoveAteMyRibs]

Already done that

I assume you also researched the blaster bomb. And soldier with the launcher also carries the bombs. I recall in original xcom, launcher usually started the mission unloaded and you needee to load it with a bomb.

it was already loaded, when I clicked on the gun to place the waypoint it didn't allowed to O was only able to throw it

If you can't use it... GG. It's probably the most OP weapon in the game. You'll need it against ethereals and sectopods.

Or you could just mind control them. Powerful psi-users are pretty much unstoppable, and you get a bunch of free scouts to help you enslave the aliens hiding in some dark corner. Even with the blaster you still need to find your tragets before you can kill them.

With enough blasters you hardly need to look. When starting a larger ship, I will often send a bomb to punch the hole in roof above cockpit, and then a second one through that hole. This is often enough to thoroughly demoralize the opposition.
