The CS Negotiator is a grenade launcher in Just Cause 3.

Description

The Rebel drop description says "When things get rowdy, bring in the Negotiator. Nothing breaks up a party like a grenade launcher that fires high-velocity, impact-detonating rounds."

As seen on pre-launch promotional screenshots, the weapon was originally meant to have a vertical front handle, but this was cancelled from the final version. The weapon icon still shows the phantom handle. See also: Cut game content from Just Cause 3.

Its design and purpose would have been inspired by the H&K XM25 CDTE, an airburst grenade launcher. The writing on the sides reads "Individual Semiautomatic Air Burst System", which means its rounds can explode in mid-air (also a notable feature of the real-life XM25). Despite this, there's no way to have the grenades explode mid-air. There are however a number of ways to customize the effects of some other explosive weapons by Gear Mods. It also has its magazine behind the trigger, making it a bullpup weapon. It also looks similar to the H&K XM-29 OICW as well.

Performance

The CS Negotiator fires rounds which have similar damage and blast radius to thrown grenades, but at greater ranges and flatter trajectories. Rounds fired detonate instantly on impact. The Negotiator has better overall damage output than the UVK 13 at medium to close ranges, as it can fire three rounds before needing to reload.

Locations

• Commonly found in weapons lockers.
• At one of the Simpsons easter eggs.
• Found at a Roadside Event.
• Unlocked for the rebel drop after liberating Le Galera.

Trivia

• It's made by the fictional company CS.
• The description of UPU-210's description reveals that the UPU-210 is older than this weapon. It also suggests that they are of the same line of weapons, which is strange, given that a "U" at the front of a weapon's designation name usually means it is produced by Urga, while the Negotiator is undoubtedly a Capstone weapon.
