Does it matter what objects I launch in Control?

Does it matter what objects I launch in Control? - Blue and Silver Round Ornament

In Control, the player has the ability to pick up and launch objects at enemies. If there's no grabbable object nearby, Jesse breaks off a piece of the floor instead, meaning you never have to go looking for something to throw.

Does it matter what objects I launch at enemies in Control? Do different objects do different amounts of damage? Or can I just launch anything without thinking?



Best Answer

It does not matter what you launch at enemies. Anything you pick up will be launched with the same force and will do the same damage, which is only increased by putting points into the launch skills that say they increase damage.

The only exception is when you catch and return explosives, those keep their regular damage instead of using the standard projectile damage. But as far as I've seen, their damage is pretty close to projectile damage.
