Grenade Launcher

Community builds that use it

• ArtificerExplosion build: start Shredder and move to Rocket, Grenade or Nuclear Launchers, or use Planks; stack Explosion Size and Elemental Damage, which also enlarges explosions. Wrench and Screwdriver became viable after Tool weapons got +100% damage in 1.1.0.0.
• GangsterSteal items each shop and kill the elites it spawns; guides favour ranged weapons (SMG, Revolver) to handle those elites, with Luck early so stolen items are better. Avoid stealing right before elite or boss waves until the build is strong.
