The Digger Launcher fires a “small, indigenous creature called a Digger”, attached to an explosive device that digs underneath and through the ground, making a loud, high-pitched scream sound as it approaches its target in addition to kicking up dirt and pathing tiles along its path, making its approach obvious to enemies. The Digger then pops out of the ground and stays in the air for 2 seconds where the trajectory was set, and then explodes releasing shrapnel in addition to the explosive blast. The heads of near by enemies burst open into a flush of blood and brains. The effect it has when directly fired into a target is incredibly bloody and violent. The Digger will eat its way through the targets chest, to their back, making munching noises and causing blood to shoot out of the targets chest and back as it goes, before finally exploding and somehow decapitating the target, as seen in a multiplayer beta. It is seen to kill a Savage Grenadier in a single blast, presumably making its power equal or greater than that of a Frag Grenade. It has a targeting system more like a Bolo Grenade than a standard weapon, and uses a curved line that shows the trajectory of the digger to aim including a standard reticule. It is mostly effective due to its ability to render cover useless and take out entrenched foes. (-Gears Of War Wikia)
