Mechanics and Play
The Congo Lake is one of the only grenade launchers in the mod, the other being the Grenade Machinegun. It is an early-game weapon, locked behind high-speed steel. Since its projectiles are heavy, gravity affected grenades, it has an effective range of about 26 blocks when firing straight forward, surpassing 50+ blocks when aiming high, and features leaf iron sights that can be aimed through.
Despite its low ammo capacity and sluggish reload speed, the Congo Lake excells at taking out groups of enemies at range, due to its large area damage.
