The Multiple Grenade Launcher (MGL) is the rotary 6-shot grenade launcher — drop-only, 40mm specialty rounds, used for raid utility (smoke for cover) and base defence (HE rounds in chokepoints). Niche but very powerful in the right setup. Most players never own one because of the drop-only acquisition.
Pro tips
- Smoke rounds for raid utility — block defender sightlines.
- HE rounds for soft-target damage — naked players, wood doors.
- 40mm Buckshot is anti-personnel — like a giant shotgun shell.
- Drop-only — Patrol Helicopter is the most reliable source.
