Strategic Combat Analysis
A rare (blue) grenade launcher added in Patch 1.29.0. Designed as a lightweight, budget-friendly sidearm alternative to the Hullcracker, the Rascal weighs only 4 lbs (roughly 2 KG). It is a single-shot, break-action launcher that excels at cracking Shredders in exactly 3 shots. Unlike the Hullcracker, its projectiles lob significantly and become highly inaccurate beyond 14 meters. Crafting it is relatively affordable, requiring 2x Advanced Mechanical Components, 3x Heavy Gun Parts, and 5x Canisters.
