A35

Overview
The A35 is a multi-chamber Combine grenade launcher, used by Soldiers on rare occasions.

Compared to the grenade launchers on weapons such as the MP5 or OICW, the A35 deals similar damage, but fires much faster and has to be reloaded. Both the A35 and other launchers on different weapons use the same ammo; SMG grenades.

Acquisition
The A35 can first be found in Highway 17, being wielded by a Soldier occupying a roadblock, nearby the first available Crossbow. Afterwards, more Soldiers can be found wielding the A35, generally in areas that would potentially catch the player off guard, such as on top of a tunnel, waiting to bombard the player and their jeep with a hail of grenades.

The A35 cannot be found in the hands of Resistance members.

Advantages
-Has a six round magazine, more than enough to rain down destruction and death in a short period.

-Each grenade inflicts heavy damage.

-Reloads individual grenades fairly quickly.

-Fires faster than other grenade launchers.

-Isn't massively difficult to acquire.

-Comes equipped with a scope.

-Despite the crosshair widening, the A35 is always perfectly precise with it's shots, even while moving.

-Minimal recoil.

Disadvantages
-Uses the rare SMG grenades, and the weapon itself is also rare.

-Can damage (and potentially kill) the player and their allies.

-Though it's faster than other grenade launchers, it still isn't too fast of a weapon.

-Enemies wielding this weapon can (oddly) fire faster than the player, and can reload their entire drum instantly.

-Reloading the entire grenade drum isn't very fast.

Tactics
-Use the A35 if you need to inflict heavy damage to an area fast.

-Don't use the A35 excessively, as the grenades for it are rare.

-The A35 is capable of blasting apart entire rooms of enemies, or alternatively, can be used to dispose of heavier enemies quickly, such as Antlion Guards.

-The A35 can be used to take out faster enemies such as Aces quickly, but caution is recommended to ensure the player doesn't run out of grenades.

-Be careful when using the A35 at closer ranges. It isn't hard to kill yourself or your allies with this weapon.

-Remember that the A35's grenades fly in an arc. You can use this to hit enemies behind cover.

-Aim higher to counter the arc of the grenades if you need to deal with targets at a distance.
