Explosive weapons can be devastating inWarzone 2DMZ. The game’s current lineup of rocket launchers has proven especially good at catching people off guard. However, these weapons can be hard to use due to how cumbersome they are, especially in close quarters where missing a single shot can easily spell the end of a run.

This is where the RGL-80 comes in. Unlike the PILA or RPG-7, this semi-automatic grenade launcher is perfect for clearing rooms full of undesirables. It can fire up to six shots in a salvo, making it an amazing weapon for taking out certain objectives and bosses. Such power comes at a price, however, and like all things inWarzone 2DMZ, players are going to have to work hard to get one of these for themselves.
Where to Get the RGL-80 in Warzone 2 DMZ
There’s only one place where players can find this grenade launcher—Building 21. Specifically, it drops fromVelikan, the same playable operator from the originalWarzonewho now appears as a boss NPC.
Velikan himself uses the RGL-80 in combat, which means players are going to have to take him down if they want the weapon. He is fairly tanky for a Shadow Company mercenary, and he comes with his own squad of heavily-armed goons who provide covering fire for him. Combine this with the fact that the RGL-80 isone of the best weaponsfor clearing tight quarters, and players will find a recipe for disaster.
One strategy for killing Velikan as quickly and painlessly as possible is to use stun and flash grenades. While he is disoriented, walk up behind him andperform a takedownby pressing the button that appears on the screen. This will instantly kill him and cause him to drop the RGL-80. Once he’s dead, it’s only a matter of finding an exfil point and making it out of Building 21 alive. Peppering himwith small arms firewill work, but it can be risky.
Velikan spawns randomly around the map, though he tends to appear in the middle atrium complex. Regardless, a message saying that he is nearby will appear whenever he spawns, so be on the lookout and keep an ear open for consecutive grenade explosions in the distance. He might engage with other players who are also trying to take the gun away from him.
The RGL-80 cannot be modified, and it will always be a Contraband weapon. It is needed for theFiring Powerfaction quest, which involves killing Velikan again but with the grenade launcher.
