The NGL-8 Nanotech Grenade Launcher is a weapon in Red Faction II.

Description

The Grenade Launcher is the preferred weapon of Alias, the demolitions expert in Molov's squad of elite, nano-enhanced super soldiers. It fires a single yet powerful grenade that explodes on impact and is capable of taking out nearly everything unlucky enough to be caught in its blast. Because it can easily blast through many walls, floors and other surfaces, the Grenade Launcher is a useful weapon for finding alternate routes, secret rooms and blowing away enemy cover.

The Grenade Launcher is the first major weapon the player starts with after the introduction levels, and has it immediately upon starting the Public Information Building level. Its capable of wreaking havok on environments thanks to the grenades Geomod capabiltiies, whilst also being good at blowing up enemies. Its a very strong early to mid game weapon, upon where you may desire to swap to the NICW rifle for more controlled chaos and automatic rifle fire.
