Barrel Launcher vs Grenade
The verdict
With crit factored in, Barrel Launcher puts out 156.0 DPS against 83.2 for Grenade — about 87% more damage per second. Base hits are Barrel Launcher 100 vs Grenade 60, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Barrel Launcher swings faster at a 40-tick use time versus 45, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
