Once your grenades are improved, dive into battle and blow your enemies away.
This build can be further strengthened by investing into the perk Bigger Booms, which increases grenade damage and can be leveled up to 5 times. However, it will require an attribute of at least 11. Sapper can also be leveled up twice, and it is highly recommended to do so once you are at the appropriate level.
