System Shock 2 Hints
Grenade Launcher
The grenade launcher can be loaded with a good range of ammunition. The shots do a lot of damage if you pick the right type of grenade, especially for a weapon that only requires a skill of 1. Grenades tend to be harder to come by than bullets or shells, so you should save your grenades for the tougher targets. You may also want to limit yourself to just a few of the possible grenade types, should your inventory get full.
Also, be careful not to use the grenade launcher when your target is right in front of you. You can be hurt just as much by the blast as your target if you get too close.
