#Mark 19 grenade launcher upgrade#

A single grenade can kill an individual Minor, and can be used to deal light to moderate damage against small groups.

It is an effective weapon against Minor Bio-mechanoids due to its high damage output.

Tap the trigger for slow launching or hold it down to deliver at longer ranges.

A shot of grenades can also effectively take down a single Cucurbito the Pumpkin, compared to two shots from the rocket launcher.

However, the charge time gives the MK III a lower rate of fire compared to the XPML21 Rocket Launcher. Grenades are more powerful and travel at a faster rate than a rocket does.

A charged up grenade can be very useful against strong and slow enemies, such as Major Bio-mechanoids.

#Mark 19 grenade launcher upgrade#

This upgrade is obtained in the same level that the grenade launcher appears in, and does not require any side quests to be completed in order for it to be unlocked. It appears for the second time in Viva la RГ©sistance after the player is introduced to Charlie, and then for the final time at an EDF outpost in From Earth With Love. The grenade launcher is first acquired in The Die is Cast along with is alternate fire upgrade. In Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, it is obtained in Sierra de Chiapas, The Elephant Atrium, and Land of the Damned. In Serious Sam: The First Encounter, the grenade launcher is first obtained in Oasis. Standard rounds will explode on contact if they collide with enemies or within seconds of impact otherwise, limpet grenades will stick to any flat surface it lands on and detonate when it detects movement within a 5 meter radius, while spider mines have an extendable set of legs and an on-board AI that will seek out the nearest bionic lifeform within its 10 m sensory range. In Serious Sam: Next Encounter, the grenade launcher uses three types of ammunition standard rounds, limpet grenades and spider mines. The firing range of the grenade launcher can be adjusted by either tapping the trigger for a slower muzzle velocity or holding it down to hit targets at a greater distance. Grenades will either explode upon contact with an enemy or three seconds after it has been fired.ДЄ skilled player can easily learn to project its grenades over large obstacles or bounce them around corners, while the smart impact detector makes sure that the charge will only detonate on impact with a live target (including the player), but not with walls or obstacles. This means it has more potential dealing damage to dense groups of enemies than rockets.

However, if the fire key is held as long as possible, the grenade will fly out of the gun at great speed and will cover a medium distance before it hits the ground.ДЄ fully-charged grenade deals more damage than a rocket, and the grenade launcher's splash damage is larger than the rocket launcher's splash damage.

If the fire key is not held at all, the grenade will just drop out of the barrel and bounce a few feet to get some distance. The distance the grenade goes depends on how long the player holds the fire key. The grenade launcher fires one grenade per shot. Durable, safe to use and possessing a manually-adjustable fire rate, the MK III has been a favorite with Earth Defense Force soldiers throughout the Mental War. The MK III is a standard-issue infantry grenade launcher that has been in use since the earliest attacks by Mental.
