The Proximity Grenade Launcher shoots grenades in an arc, but unlike the regular Grenade Launcher, it retains momentum and does not lose altitude for much longer. For example, below is a comparison of the Proximity Grenade Launcher, the regular Grenade Launcher, and the Sticky Grenade Launcher:

  • Proximity Grenade Launcher — 300 m
  • Grenade Launcher — 100 m
  • Sticky Grenade Launcher — 200 m

The Proximity Grenade Launcher is also equipped with an optical scope. The incredible range, grenade trajectory, and optical scope make this grenade launcher very accurate. Fans will have no trouble exploding enemies at long distances with this weapon in their loadout.

This grenade launcher is unique because if a grenade fails to hit the target precisely, and the enemy is within range, the grenade will ricochet toward the target, acting like a homing rocket. This feature gives players many options and allows them to deal damage even if they can't directly hit their opponent.

The Proximity Grenade Launcher has a 2 rocket magazine, after which players need to reload.
