Player Notes[]
- The Duke is a powerful Grenade Launcher, with a very large magazine capacity, high damage, and manual detonation.
- The Duke's shells will detonate on impact with a Tube, or when the weapon is reloaded. This makes it very versatile, since it can thus set up either proxy or remote traps.
- The fact that it can set traps gives it the highest burst damage of any grenade launcher in the game if properly used, though it is limited by its clip size in this regard- only allowing eight grenades per trap per launcher equipped.
- It can also air-burst to take down aerial enemies.
- The weapon itself is a reference to Duke Nukem 3D, whose protagonist was fond of remotely-detonated pipe bombs.
