To use the airburst mode, lock onto a surface by pressing {{keypress|Aim}} while unscoped, pointing the grenade launcher crosshair top line at the surface. If the lock is successful, the scope will show the word <code style="color: #d00000;">'''LOCK'''</code> in the bottom.

— Customization menu description (alpha gameplay)

The XM25 Airburst makes another appearance in Battlefield 4 as a gadget used by the Support kit. It features an infrared thermal scope highlighting hostile infantry and vehicles in bright yellow against a green background.

To use the airburst mode, lock onto a surface by pressing Aim while unscoped, pointing the grenade launcher crosshair top line at the surface. If the lock is successful, the scope will show the word LOCK in the bottom. If it shows N/A, it means that the projectiles will be impact-fuzed instead of airburst.

The XM25 has a default offset of 3 meters (OFST), automatically added to the locked range (RNG) for the final airburst range (ABRST). Grenades fired during range lock will explode at the airburst range unless they strike an intervening surface. At long range, correction for drop is needed to ensure the grenades don't hit short of their target.

Compared to the M320, it has a flatter trajectory with higher velocity, and thus has more range. The 25mm Airburst Grenade does not inflict as much damage as the 40mm HE.

The grenades have an arming distance of 20 meters, inside of which they will not explode but may still inflict striking damage.
