Disadvantages:

  • Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Ferrite Armor.
    • Explosion damage cannot be increased by Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. or Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage mods.
  • Grenades have travel time and heavy arcing.
  • Explosions can cause self-damage.
    • Grenades will instantly explode on hitting enemies, teammates or companions, potentially having lethal results.

Notes

  • The Tonkor's grenades' self-damage will most likely kill the player in even a single explosion, including Inaros.
  • The Tonkor's grenades will explode immediately upon hitting an enemy.
    • The grenades will also explode upon touching the Cryopod in a Defense mission, damaging nearby enemies. Note that the Cryopod will also take fifty damage upon doing so.
    • If the grenade fails to hit a player or enemy, it will explode one second after the first bounce.
    • If Mod TT 20px Adhesive Blast is used, the grenades will stick to enemies until their fuse expires rather than immediately detonating.
  • 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.
  • Grenades will come to a complete stop when coming in contact with a body of water. This can turn them into makeshift proximity mines which will only explode when touched or after a few seconds.
  • Grenades created by Mirage's clones from Hall of Mirrors that are left over after the ability deactivates will cause damage to user if caught in the blast.
  • Grenades that impact enemies too close to the user will not detonate and will bounce off them harmlessly instead, possibly bouncing back and killing the player.

Tips

  • Projectile Speed modifiers like Zephyr's Mod TT 20px Jet Stream or Mod TT 20px Terminal Velocity will help increase its launch speed significantly. Trajectory guide when zoomed will adjust with increased flight speed.
    • If the projectile speed is high enough, the grenade will explode on impact with any surface. In the case of a Mod TT 20px Jet Stream Zephyr, the minimum amount of Ability Strength percentage needed to achieve this effect given a particular percentage of Flight Speed is given by the formula:
      Ability Strength > 0.5 - Flight Speed Mods
      • It is encouraged to always add some margin on top of the required Ability Strength as gravity could slow down the grenade too much, preventing its explosion.
  • The Tonkor's self-damage property can be used to increase Vex Armor's buffs when using Chroma.
  • It is advised not to use punch through, as it can cause the Tonkor's projectiles to hit enemies without exploding. It also causes the projectiles to bounce/penetrate surfaces unpredictably.
  • Grenades will immediately explode when impacting the following surfaces, allowing instant high damage to enemies:

Trivia

  • The Grineer text on the side of its barrel Grineer AGrineer NGrineer M translates to "ANM".
    • Previous design concepts show Grineer AGrineer LGrineer L ("ALL"). [1]
  • The Tonkor's breech-loading design is derived from the M79 grenade launcher, albeit with the ability to hold two rounds instead of one.
    • Oddly, the Tonkor's reload animation appears to consist of loading one grenade instead of two.
    • It seems that these "grenades" are actually power cells with a built-in launching mechanism.
  • Previously, the Tonkor was able to launch teammates into the air, and could even move them around while they were channeling stasis-related abilities (Mesa's Peacemaker, Nyx's Absorb, etc.). This was removed to discourage griefing and exploits.
