Rocket Launcher

"Rocket Launcher is consistent damage!" In-game description

The Rocket Launcher is the default slot 1 weapon for Bazooker that fires rockets. Like most of Bazooker's slot 1 weapons, it can deal enough damage to immediately knockout enemies, if it explodes close enough to them.

The Rocket Launcher is mostly light-green and gray colored, whose appearance is similar to a bazooka with its rockets loaded inside instead of being exposed at the end of it. Several accessories can be seen on the top of the launcher, although none of these can be used.

Tactics

 * Have good depth perception and estimation of where the enemies are going towards to surprise them with your rockets.


 * The Rocket Launcher is best used at mid-range combat, where classes such as Scout cannot deal with you, but you also have the right time for your rockets to travel towards them within seconds, giving them less room for them to dodge your rockets.


 * When enemies are really close to you, don't be afraid to rocket jump away to evade their attacks, as this also doubles as a means of knocking them out, giving you a better opportunity to kill them.
 * Although its better to avoid rocket jumping out of places if you are holding an objective such as the capture point in KOTH.


 * A trick for rocket jumping is to intentionally drain your stamina before a rocket jump, so on your next jump you travel further due to your body losing its weight on a knockout. Afterwards, you should be able to land right after you regain your stamina and lose no stamina upon landing, as there is a short time window after getting knocked out that allows you to take stamina damage without actually losing stamina. This trick is effective for long or vertical maps such as Spiral Peaks, although it is difficult to pull off if you are being targeted by the enemy.


 * Timing your rockets to hit a knocked out enemy before/as soon as they get up is called juggling, and can be used to deal extra environmental damage to them, making sure they stay down and stay dead.


 * The Gold Rocket Launcher's kill effect can be used to charge up the Bugle's damage, making it indirectly help you gain more uptime for it.

Trivia
In the Strange Edition, the class Large also uses a rocket launcher. This became the inspiration for the Rocket Launcher and Bazooker.
