Grenade Launcher vs Proximity Mine Launcher
The verdict
With crit factored in, Grenade Launcher puts out 187.2 DPS against 99.8 for Proximity Mine Launcher — about 88% more damage per second. Base hits are Grenade Launcher 60 vs Proximity Mine Launcher 80, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Grenade Launcher swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 50, 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.
