History
Introduced	Patch 9.21
Vaulted	Patch 10.20.2

Proximity Grenade Launcher was an Explosive Weapon available in Epic and Legendary variants. It used Rockets, and fired a arcing explosive grenade that explodes when in a radius of an enemy.

It was semi-automatic, and could hold 2 rockets at a time while quickly being able to fire and reload shots.

The item was vaulted on Patch 10.20.2, due to it being too accurate and extremely rare to find. Even if used, a heavy sniper and proximity launcher combo was lethal and unfair.

Strategy

• The Proximity Grenade Launcher is an excellent weapon that can easily counter basic coverings, such as single walls, trees and small rocks. A single round can cause severe damage to the target, so it is best to attack the target with the gun and then eliminating the target with a different weapon.
• The gun can be also useful at long-range attacks thanks to its scope, the round's fuse time and a much straighter trajectory, but this requires patience and angle of attack to compensate the arc trajectory at longer distances.
• The gun is somewhat slow to fire its two rounds, giving the enemy enough time to react and fight back. Blind-firing can be a good option, so one does not have to take the time at aiming down sights.
• The rounds themselves emmit a bright red light, which may alert the enemies of your position. It is best to move away after firing one or two rounds.
• Careful to not fire the weapon at closer ranges, as the detonation may hurt the wielder.

Trivia

• This is the first scoped explosive weapon in Fortnite Battle Royale.
• It uses the same weapon pullout sound as the Epic and Legendary Burst Assault Rifle.
• The weapon is based on the XM25 CDTE, known to feature programmable ammunition that was intended to defeat coverings (as emulated by the proximity feature). Said weapon was fitted with a 4-round magazine, while the Proximity Grenade Launcher has a 2-round magazine (presumably as a result of gameplay balance).
• It is one of the only 3 explosive weapons that can hold more then one rocket, the others being the Quad Launcher and the Grenade Launcher.
