The HMTech-501 Grenade Rifle is the Field Medic's tier 5 weapon. As a part of the multi-perk weapon system, it also belongs to the Commando. It is the only weapon in medic's arsenal that does not fire healing darts but instead utilizes underbarrel grenade laucher to fire healing grenades. Healing grendes are limited.

Healing cloud damage = 60.
Radius = 5m, Duration = 8s, Interval = 1s.
No damage falloff.
Healing = 10 / tick. 8 Ticks total.
Poison (DOT damage scale / duration / interval) = x0.1 / 10s / 1s.

Notes

• Highest tier Field Medic weapon, has no upgrades available.
• Grenade explosion passes through closed doors, damaging ZEDs and healing players.
• Grenade impact damage gains bonuses from Demolitionist's and Commando's skills. Grenade explosion / cloud damage gains bonuses from Commando's passive and Machine Gunner skills.
• Amount of the recoil depends on player stance and movement. Crouching and aiming down the sights gives the lowest possible amount of the recoil.
• The only weapon in Field Medic's arsenal without unlimited healing capabilities.
• Twice more healing power perk grenade tick than regular grenades. (10 HP / tick vs 5 HP / tick).

Strategy

Gains all the perk bonuses from Commando thanks to multi-perk weapon system.

Oddly enought 501's grenade impact damage gains all the bonuses from Demolitionist's skill tree.

Trivia

• Can deal up to 14100 damage with full ammo (300) capacity as off-perk weapon.
• As of Halloween beta 1 (2018), HMTech-501 Grenade Rifle was the only assault rifle in the game to use specific Ballistic_Shell damage type for its bullets. None of the ZEDs in game is resistant to this damage type so 501 used to deal full damage to the target. It was later fixed and now HMTech-501 Grenade Rifle inflicts Ballistic_AssaultRifle type of the damage.
