If a magazine contains 2 or less grenades when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play. * Reload time for a fully emptied magazine is 3 seconds; if reloaded while there are still grenades in the magazine, this drops to 2.15 seconds. The Obliterator is not capable of retaining an extra grenade in the chamber, but if the reload process is interrupted, it will leave the user with a single grenade in the magazine. ** Unlike bulkier support weapons such as the [[MG-94 Machine Gun]] or [[AC-22 Dum-Dum]], the Obliterator can be reloaded on the move. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" ! colspan="4" |'Obliterator' Grenade Launcher Detailed Analysis |- ! colspan="3" |Weapon Info !Additional Notes |- !Unlock Rank | colspan="2" |Difficulty 4-6 planet | |- !Weapon Type | colspan="2" |Secondary | |- !Weapon Category | colspan="2" |Grenade Launcher | |- !Fire Mode | colspan="2" |Full-auto, indirect fire | |- ! colspan="4" |Damage |- ! !Base !Upgraded !Additional Notes |- !Damage |0 |0 | |- !Center Mass Damage |0 |0 | |- !Anti-Personnel Explosive Damage |250 |250 | |- !Anti-Personnel Explosion Radius |3.5 m |3.5 m | |- !Direct Explosive Damage |600 |600 | |- !Direct Explosion Radius |2.5 m |2.5 m | |- !Status Effect |None |'''<u>Heavy Burn*</u>''' |* Requires '''Mk3''' upgrade |- !Fire Damage/sec |N/A |'''<u>100/s*</u>''' |* Requires Mk3 upgrade |- !Effect Duration |N/A |'''<u>2 s*</u>''' |* Requires '''Mk3''' upgrade |- !AP Ammo Armor Reduction |0 |0 | |- ! colspan="4" |Statistics |- ! !Base !Upgraded !Additional Notes |- !Cyclic Rate of Fire (RPM) |120 |120 | |- !Capacity |6 |'''<u>8<sup>†</sup></u>''' |<sup>†</sup> Requires '''Mk2''' upgrade |- !Starting Mags |4 |4 | |- !Max Mags |8 |8 | |- !Empty Reload Speed |3.0 s |3.0 s |Can reload while moving |- !Tactical Reload Speed |2.15 s |2.15 s |Can reload while moving; does not chamber a round; single round remains if reload is canceled |- !Min Spread |0° |0° | |- !Max Spread |0° |0° | |- !Spread Increase per Shot |0° |0° | |- !Max Range |todo |todo | |- !Bullet Spread Simulation | colspan="3" |todo |} == Gameplay Tips == * The Obliterator Grenade Launcher is a very powerful defensive, anti-personnel, and crowd clearing tool in the right hands thanks to its indirect fire capabilities. It excels at wiping out patrols and groups of unarmored enemies and is capable of softening up most targets with fire damage once fully upgraded. While powerful, it is also extremely dangerous when mismanaged and can easily lead to friendly fire or team wipes if its user is improperly positioned. Helldivers should practice and memorize the grenade's arc to ensure it lands on target and does not collide with obstructions as they are an instant kill on themselves and fellow divers. Like the regular [[grenades]] every Helldiver carries, this weapon is not capable of damaging [[Cyborgs|Cyborg]] [[Infantry Fighting Vehicle|IFVs]] or destroying mission [[Objectives#Destroy|objectives]] such as Bug Nests. *Thanks to its fixed trajectory, Helldivers can fire over teammates, objectives, and cover to hit enemies without exposing themselves to retaliation. This should be used with extreme caution however as latency and the disjointed hitboxes of environmental features can result in grenades detonating the moment they leave the barrel of the gun. * With the '''Phosphorus Grenades''' upgrade, the Obliterator's grenades will set fire to everything caught in their blast, dealing fire damage over time. ** Most other incendiary weapons, such as the [[FLAM-40 Incinerator]] and fully-upgraded [[DBS-2 Double Freedom]], cannot ignite armored targets unless their weak spot is hit. The Obliterator does not have this limitation: only Cyborg [[Infantry Fighting Vehicle|IFVs]] are immune to being ignited by its phosphorus grenades. * Each grenade fired from the Obliterator is a physical object in the game-world that can collide with various other objects, causing them to explode on contact. Standing too close to walls, trees and other pieces of terrain, as well as other players, can cause the Obliterator's projectiles to explode instantly, killing the user and any other player or NPC within effective range in the process. Players or NPCs who survive the initial blast can suffer from the Obliterator's '''Incendiary''' effects, if the appropriate upgrade has been bought for the weapon. ** Other causes for the projectiles to explode mid-air include (but are not limited to): being detonated by enemy fire (specifically Cyborg [[Infantry Fighting Vehicle|IFV]]'s main battle-cannon and [[Warlord]]'s gauss-cannon), colliding with ejected shells from a fellow diver's [[SG-225 Breaker]], and airborne players using the [[LIFT-850 Jump Pack]] (although airborne Lift-users remain unaffected from the explosion and resulting status effects). ==Gallery== <gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> obliterator.png|''Obliterator Grenade Launcher'' obliterator_f.png|''Helldiver launching incendiary grenade'' </gallery> ==Notes== {{WeaponList}} {{StratagemList}} [[Category:Weapons (Helldivers)]] [[Category:Stratagems (Helldivers)]]
