Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an open-world third-person shooter video game developed by the now defunct Pandemic Studios (known for games like Full Spectrum Warrior or The Saboteur).

The player assumes the role of a betrayed mercenary trying to get revenge on his/her employers after a set up.

The game was released by Electronic Arts in 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 platforms.

Milkor MGL-140

The Milkor MGL-140 grenade launcher seen in the hands of UP Mercenaries and attained via the "Grenade Launcher Drop". It appears that the reload animation of the launcher was recycled from the M4 Super 90's, because the characters do not open the cylinder, but insert the grenades as if it had a tubular magazine.
