Gameplay[]

Fire command: Grenade Launcher

Launches a single grenade that travels a short distance before detonating.
Damage: About 15 damage per explosion.
The grenade itself deals a small amount of damage if hitting an enemy directly.
Damages terrain at point-blank range.
Range: Grenade can be launched about 7 blocks horizontally. However he can extend it by throwing it right after firing with precise timing.
Explosion radius is about 2 blocks.
Rate of Fire: Multiple grenades per second.
Holding down the fire 'cooks' the grenade, decreasing its detonation time once it is fired. Holding down the fire long enough explodes the grenade.
Grenade explosions do not hurt the Bro.

Special command: Cluster Grenade

Launches a cluster grenade and right after it comes live, it explodes three times.
Each explosion creates three small bombs that are hurled upwards and unleashes three small bombs per blast.
Small bombs explode upon impact with anything, dealing damage as well as blowing up anything nearby.
Has a glitch that allows him to launch an unlimited amount of cluster grenade when using the time stop pickup by repeatedly tapping the special button, potentially allowed him to level off an entire map by himself.
Explode corpses.
Ammunitions: 3.
Damage: Over 35 damage per small bomb.
Range: Grenade can be launched about 7 blocks horizontally. Bombs will be launched about 9 blocks into the air before falling.

Melee command - Kick

Due to a bug, he was playable before he was officially released.
- This is shared with Cherry Broling, who was a part of the same update.
Broddock's outfit is taken from the first Missing In Action movie, while his grenade launcher is featured in the third movie.
In very early alpha stages, his weapon was a flamethrower. However, this idea was soon scrapped and the character changed to the earliest literation of Brodell Walker.
In-game, he was referred to simply as "James Broddock."
