Exo Launcher

Master the Exo Launcher in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare! Learn about Frag, Stun, Variable, Semtex, Tracking Drone, Threat, EMP, and Smoke grenades to dominate the battlefield.

Alright, so the Exo Launcher in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is pretty cool. Think of it as your grenade slot, but instead of separate Tactical and Lethal grenades, they're all combined here. You'll have to pick between using a Lethal or a Tactical option depending on the situation.

Here's a rundown of what you've got:

• Frag: This is your classic grenade. Just toss it and it'll explode after a short fuse. Make sure you've got a good throwing arm!
• Stun Grenade: This one's great for messing with enemies. It'll blind, disorient, and slow them down. Pro tip: you can manually detonate it by double-tapping the grenade button. This is super useful if you've got a fast class setup – you can throw it and then quickly reposition yourself.
• Variable Grenade: This is a really interesting one. Like in the campaign, you can cycle through different grenade types – Stun, EMP, Threat, and Smoke. The catch is you can't manually detonate it like the others; it's on a timer.
• Semtex: Yep, the classic sticky grenade is back! Stick it to an enemy, and it's a guaranteed kill. Always satisfying.
• Tracking Drone: When you toss this, it'll lock onto the closest enemy and mark them. It can be handy sometimes, but honestly, it's often a bit of an afterthought.
• Threat Grenade: This one was a big deal when it came out. Toss it, and enemies within the area will glow red, even through walls. Makes it way easier to track them down or get the drop on them.
• EMP Grenade: These can be a real pain. If you get hit by an EMP, all your equipment and Exo movement abilities get disabled for a bit. So, no more fancy double jumps or dashes for a short while.
• Smoke Grenade: Just like in older Call of Duty games, this creates a cloud of smoke to obscure vision. If you're running attachments like Thermal or a Target Enhancer, you can still spot enemies through it, which can give you a serious advantage.
