Damage Type Group: Ballistic_Shell, Explosive.

Explosion Radius (grenade) = 8.5m.

Explosion Falloff = Exponential (power or 2).

Rate Of Fire = 22 RPM.
Rate Of Fire (elite reloading) = 32 RPM.
Rate Of Fire (buttstock bash) = 60.

Reload Time = 2.37s.
Reload Time (elite) = 1.58s.
Force Reload Time (reload delayed for) = 0.3s.

Equip Time = 0.55s.
Putdown Time = 0.46s.

Weapon Powers:
Gun hit power (grenade direct hit) = 275.
Knockdown power (grenade direct hit) = 125.
Knockdown power (grenade explosion) = up to 150.
Stumble power (grenade direct hit) = 340.
Stumble power (grenade explosion) = up to 400.

Upgrades

Upg1 (600): Base damage x1.12, Base weight + 1.
Upg2 (700): Base damage x1.3, Base weight + 2.
Upg3 (1500): Base damage x1.55, Base weight + 3.

Notes

  • Minimum travel distance for projectile to explode = 3.87m.
  • Projectile travel speed = 50m/s.
  • Direct hit with the grenade does two types of the damage - ballistic (capable of damaging specific body parts, essentially it is a big slow bullet), then explosive (only does damage to body). Ballistic damage applied at all ranges, whether grenade exploded or not.
  • Projectile will collide with either - ZED's hitzone or a collision cylinder.
  • Projectile affected by gravity.

Trivia

  • The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break-action grenade launcher that fires a 40x46mm grenade.
  • Despite the common misconception M79 grenade does ballistic damage at any range, regardless if it exploded or dud.
  • M79 has the largest explosion radius of all launchers in game. Combined with Demolitionist's Fragmentation Rounds and Mad Bomber skills M79 grenade gets explosion radius of 8.5 x (1.5 + 0.25) = 14.875 meters.
