Special Grenade Launchers fall under one of 3 archetypes: wave frame, double fire, and lightweight.

Heavy Grenade Launchers fall under one of the 4 archetypes: adaptive, precision, rapid fire, and compressed wave frame. Adaptive frame grenade launchers have a balanced stock, while rapid fire frames fire grenades, compressed wave behave similar to wave frame grenade launchers used by Special Grenade Launchees, and precision frame frames have grenades that detonate after bouncing on a hard surface.

"Ah. Yeah. Grenade Launchers don't get enough credit. Good way to bust up a crowd."
Banshee-44
Witherhoard, an Exotic Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2.

Grenade Launchers are a class of Weapons featured in the Destiny series. They are tubular, heavy-duty firearms that fire grenades one after another. This makes them an ideal choice for besieging enemy positions. Breech grenade launchers fall under the Special category (with the exception of Fighting Lion), while drum ones fall under the Heavy category.

Special Grenade Launchers fall under one of 4 archetypes: wave frame, double fire, lightweight, and Area Denial. Wave frame grenade launchers fire grenades that detonate into a linear wave of energy when it contacts the ground, similar to a Thermite grenade, while Lightweight frames detonate on release of the trigger or when the grenade hits a target, and double fire frames allow 2 grenades to be loaded in a magazine, which are shot as one round. Area Denial frame Grenade Launchers shoot a volley of elemental energy and stick to surfaces. With the singular exception of Witherhoard, however, projectiles will not stick to enemies. Heavy Grenade Launchers fall under one of the 4 archetypes: adaptive, precision, rapid-fire, and compressed wave frame. Adaptive frame grenade launchers fire at 120 RPM, while rapid fire frames fire at 150 RPM. Compressed wave frames behave similarly to normal wave frame grenade launchers used by Special Grenade Launchers, and precision frames have grenades that detonate after bouncing on a hard surface.
