The Grenade Launcher is a weapon item that can be found in Resident Evil 2. It is identified as an American M79 Grenade Launcher.
Gameplay
Claire Redfield can find this item in the cabinet inside the S.T.A.R.S. room (Scenario A) or in the R.P.D. Main Hall (Scenario B).
The Grenade Launcher is Claire's most powerful weapon with the ability to use three types of grenade rounds, which are:
- Explosive Rounds
- Flame Rounds
- Acid Rounds
With the Explosives Rounds equipped, the short range of these ammunitions scatter and explode upon contact, damaging any enemies within range.
The Flame Rounds doesn't knock an enemy back, but leaves them burning, dealing additional damage. It is quite effective against the Ivy enemies.
The Acid Rounds corrode any target who is hit, often killing normal enemies in one shot, particularly the Lickers. However it's also the rarest of the all the Grenade Rounds.
- The Grenade Launcher is a single shot weapon, meaning that Claire reloads it after every shot.
- Compared to Leon's Magnum, the Grenade Launcher does slightly less damage, even with the powerful and rare Acid Rounds. (Plus, the customization of the magnum will completely outclass the Launcher.) However, this weapon has the versatility of using different and special purpose grenades and is much more effective in crowd control.
Extreme Battle Mode
- Claire's only weapon in the mini game is the Grenade Launcher, with an assortment of grenade rounds.
