The Expendable Anti-Tank launcher is a strong but limited-use weapon designed for taking down armored enemies. It’s a one-time use stratagem that drops two launchers per use and has a decently short cooldown. While its small blast radius makes it less effective against groups of agile enemies, it’s a game-changer against titanic foes like Chargers, Bile Titans, and Annihilator Tanks.
