How to use Battlefield 2042’s Underbarrel Grenade Launcher attachment

Our quick and easy guide will show you how to use and wreak havoc with the Underbarrel Grenade Launcher attachment in Battlefield 2042.

Underbarrel Grenade Launcher attachment is a fancy of saying ‘noob tube.’ OG Call of Duty online multiplayer aficionados will be familiar with this term as the early days of CoD were full of them. Players would spawn, spy a victim, get the noob tube out and fire in the vicinity of another player to score an easy kill, hence noob tube.

The slightly more skilled players would use it effectively in Search and Destroy, and before the round began, they would already be pointing to a certain point in the sky to fire away when the round started.
