Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages :

• Grenades deal damage when hitting an enemy.
• High critical chance and good multiplier stats.
• High AoE damage.
  • 325 damage that can be increased by mods.
• Explosions can crit and proc.
• Decent fire rate for a grenade launcher type weapon.
• Can use the exclusive Firestorm mod.
• Zooming (RMB ) will display the next grenade's trajectory.
• Can be used to 'rocket jump' for both the wielder and their Tenno allies as long as they are within the same plane.
  • Cannot be used to move Tenno created allies from powers such as Saryn's Molt, Loki's Decoy, Chroma's Effigy.
• Deals only 50 damage to user regardless of mods.

Disadvantages :

• Grenades have a relatively slow projectile speed and heavy arcing.
• Grenades have a high bouncing capability which makes it hard to stack on a desired spot.
• Small magazine size.
• Second lowest max ammo of all primary weapons.
• Low accuracy.
• Shooting while enemies are close will force you to jump.
  • However, this can be used to chain to a melee slam attack, or other airborne offensive.
• Grenades damage the player, albeit less than the similar Penta.

Notes

• When compared to the Penta, it has slightly less explosion damage and magazine size, but boasts a higher fire rate, faster reload, and good critical potential.
• The Tonkor's grenade will bounce several times off any hard surfaces and environmental objects, before detonating 5 seconds after it settles on the ground. The grenade will explode on impact with the first enemy or player it hits however.
• The Tonkor will only hit an enemy with a direct hit if it hits the player model. This can result in the grenades bouncing between enemy legs.
• It is possible to achieve red critical hits with Point Strike and Critical Delay, landing a 104.3% critical chance. This can be further increased using the Arcane Avenger enhancement, reaching a 134.3% total critical chance.
• The Tonkor can be used to propel the player a decent distance by aiming the grenade at their feet while jumping.
  • Jumping and firing the grenade increases lift and velocity and can be combined with spin or jump attacks with melee to improve mobility.
• Unlike other explosive weapons like the Penta and Ogris, the Tonkor's explosion damage deals only a small percentage of its damage against the player, making it safer to use in close-quarters than the aforementioned counterparts. This also facilitates its use as a mobility tool as noted above.
• When aiming down using zoom (default RMB ), the Tonkor will display a flashing dotted line that shows the approximate trajectory the grenade will follow when fired. This line will only display the grenade's initial flight path and not any subsequent bounces.
• When falling fast enough while still in the air, shooting the Tonkor below the player's feet will cause the player to jump midair.
• Grenades will come to a dead stop when fired into the water. This can turn them into makeshift proximity mines which will only explode when touched or after a few seconds. This can make them a little more tactical when taking certain environments into account, such as the bodies of water in the Grineer Forest.

Tips

• Terminal Velocity will help increase its projectile speed. Trajectory guide when zoomed will adjust with increased flight speed.
  • Zephyr's Jet Stream increases the grenade projectile flight speed significantly.
    • Jet Stream with max Power Strength allows for the projectiles to explode on first ground contact.

Trivia

• The Grineer text on the side of its barrel translates to "ANM".
• The Tonkor's breech-loading design is derived from the M79 grenade launcher, albeit with two shots until reload, instead of one.

Bugs

• Currently, the Tonkor is able to launch teammates into the air while they are channeling stasis related abilities. (Mesa's Peacemaker, Nyx's Absorb, etc.)
• The Tonkor can knock Hydroid out of Undertow.
• Frequently, firing without zooming in the Grineer Forest will make the grenades hit and invisible wall in front of the gun.
