Underbarrel Smoke Launcher

The Underbarrel Smoke Launcher is a Rail Attachment available to Select Fire weapons, Scout Rifles, and the NSX Yumi. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

When fired, a light smoke grenade is launched forward from the weapon, creating a cloud of smoke upon contact with a surface if it has traveled a short distance first, and lightly damaging enemies upon direct hit at any range. Each faction's Underbarrel Smoke Launcher is visually distinct, however they are all functionally identical.

Despite the attachment's description listing such an effect, weapons equipped with an Underbarrel Smoke Launcher do not incur any penalties to their equip time.

To use an underbarrel attachment, press the weapon's Gear Slot hotkey (Gear Slot 1 ( by default) if primary, Gear Slot 2 ( by default) if secondary) whilst the parent weapon is held in hand.

Grenade Effects
Unlike typical grenades found in the grenade loadout slot, smoke grenades fired by the Underbarrel Smoke Launcher cannot bounce, and will immediately trigger their appropriate effect upon striking the very first surface they hit.

Upon impact with any surface, depending on whether or not it has traveled 10 meters, launched smoke grenades will either fizzle out as a dud, or create a cloud of smoke.

Dud grenades will only deal their direct damage, damaging vehicles or infantry they've directly hit, but not creating any smoke.

Armed grenades will deal their direct damage, if they struck an eligible target, and additionally explode into a moderately sized cloud of smoke. The creation of this smoke cloud does not deal any additional damage, and the cloud will last approximately 10 seconds.

Compatible Weapons
The Underbarrel Smoke Launcher can be unlocked and equipped on the following weapons.
