Here is how to get a pocket grenade launcher in the Democratic Detonation Warbond and blow bugs and bots quickly. For democracy, of course.
Primary and support weapons in Helldivers 2 are the go-to means of assaulting bugs and bots. The choice of secondary weapons matters when it comes to landing a killing blow or saving ammo by not firing the primary gun. However, the meta has shifted after the release of Grenade Pistol in the game.
The Grenade Pistol is exactly what it sounds like. It is a handgun that loads a grenade and fires it on a target. This is a portable mortar that fires a single explosive round, capable of doing greater damage than regular grenades.
How To Get The GP-31 Grenade Pistol
To unlock the GP-31 Grenade Pistol, you must buy the Democratic Detonation Warbond for 1,000 Super Credits and purchase this weapon for 60 Warbond Medals.
Similar to the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow, the GP-31 Grenade Pistol is also available on page three of the Premium Warbond. To purchase items on the last page, you must first spend a lot of Medals on the first two pages.
How To Use The GP-31 Grenade Pistol
The GP-31 Grenade Pistol is a secondary weapon that features 600 damage, which is even higher than most explosive grenades in the game. The gun has 43 Recoil, and it matters little since the weapon fires one round and requires reloading to shoot the second one.
Like most grenades, the Grenade Pistol's explosive shot deals splash explosive damage. Firing this on an approaching swarm of bugs will result in multiple fatalities. Warriors, Hunters, and even the armored Warriors will be killed easily in one shot from Grenade Pistol.
You can defeat a Charger using a Grenade Pistol by firing multiple rounds at its exposed back. The gun will not kill this foe easily, but at least it gets the job done sooner or later.
On the other hand, defeating Bile Titan is impossible using the Grenade Pistol. However, you can damage its acid sack on the back, leaving it without any acid to spew at your teammates.
The Grenade Pistol gives you the versatility to carry explosive ranged firepower in your pocket while not taking away the option of equipping another throwable, such as a stun, G-10 Incendiary , or G-3 smoke grenade . Before this gun, you had to pick one grenade type.
However, you can now use a Grenade Pistol for specialized objectives such as plugging bug holes or destroying Automaton Fabricators. At the same time, you can use any other type of grenade in tandem to unleash maximum firepower while spreading managed democracy.
