Grenade Launchers (Special) Guide
Special Grenade Launchers in the 2026 Expansion are potent tools for dealing area-of-effect (AoE) damage and staggering larger enemies, offering a tactical advantage in cluttered combat scenarios. Their ability to launch explosive projectiles makes them ideal for clearing out groups of enemies or disrupting powerful foes. The new Exotic Special Grenade Launcher, The Void Blossom, fires seeking void projectiles that detonate on impact, creating lingering Void rifts that damage enemies over time. This makes it exceptionally useful in the new Lost Sector, The Whispering Caves, where enemies often spawn in tight formations. master the trajectory and detonation radius of their chosen Grenade Launcher to maximize its effectiveness. A frequent mistake is to fire directly at enemies at close range, which can result in self-damage due to the blast radius. Instead, aim for the ground in front of or around groups of enemies for optimal AoE coverage. Consider equipping mods that increase blast radius or velocity, such as the Velocity Mod, to improve their utility. The Anarchy Exotic Grenade Launcher, though not new, remains a top-tier choice for its ability to lay down sustained damage over time with its arc traps, making it invaluable for boss encounters like the final boss of the Garden of Salvation raid, where continuous damage is key to victory.
