That and the grenade pistol looks dope as fuck!

I'm really looking forward to trying the grenade pistol as part of my loadout vs. bots. Stun grenades make it easier to line up headshots but you can't use them to destroy factories. I'm hoping the grenade pistol can be used to close that gap.

I have that same problem! I've been using the Quasar to destroy bug holes and bot factories, but it's a pain in the ass to get the right shot sometimes and the cooldown is brutal.
