How to get it
Chris and Piers, Chris Chapter 3 (3-2 Poisawan Courtyard): after the 5 crates on the roof, kick the next building's door; the launcher is straight ahead in a shack, with 2 × 40mm Explosive Rounds and a First Aid Spray, right before the first helicopter fight. You need it for that fight.
Verdict
Chris's best weapon for bosses and Napads: keep Explosive loaded by default.
Exclusive
Chris and Piers.
- Explosive: big damage; kills J'avo and zombies in one shot. Acid: corrodes, wider blast; very good on the Gnezdo and the Glava-Begunats. Nitrogen: freezes; shatter with a follow-up. Against Napads and Strelats, Nitrogen.
- Switch round type while aiming or from the inventory.
- Preload trick: load one type, switch and load another; the first rounds don't go back to the inventory. The gun holds up to 18 (6 of each type) without using slots. Load every round as soon as you pick it up.
- The helicopter (Chris Chapter 3): on Normal about 6 Explosive rounds anywhere on the hull while it hovers drive it off; take cover between shots.
- Rasklapanje: one round splits it in half and another deals with the upper half (the parasite never fully dies). Haos: go for the head.
- Grenade Launcher Master (800 kills), Grenade Pickup Increase (22,000 SP) and Infinite Grenade Launcher (99,000 SP).
- The Mercenaries: Leon (costume 1, Nitrogen), Jake (costume 1, Explosive), Helena (default, Acid) and Carla (all three).
