Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher is a recurring weapon in the Tomb Raider series.

Tomb Raider II
The Gernade Launcher was the most powerful weapon in the game. One shot was usually enough to kill any enemy, with the exception of the Xian warriors. Shots would just go straight and explode when making contact with anything.

Tomb Raider III
The Grenades bounce off walls and explode after some time, while in TR2 they explode on contact, regardless of what they hit. Each ammo pack for it has two grenades and is very scarce, so is best to be conserved.

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
In TR4 it can utilize three types of ammunition

Normal ammo: Large shells filled with plastic explosives. Explodes upon impact with a target, doing heavy damage. Often, the most common out of the three types.

Super ammo: Exactly like normal ammo but filled with more explosives. The most rare out of the three grenade types, but also the most powerful, often killing a normal enemy with one shot and doing extreme damage to bosses.

Flash ammo: When it hits the ground, it emits a glaring flash and a loud noise that blinds most enemies upon impact; However Lara won't be affected by it. The weakest out of the three grenade types, but can be very useful in a getaway situation.

Firepower: 10/10

Firing Rate: Must be reloaded after each shot, and slower than the shotgun.
