A large, heavy versatile missile launcher delivering three types large, heavy rockets with homing ability. Ammunition is also large and heavy and should be carried by other agents in a support role of the launcher-unit. The launcher itself is very limited on the market but is not an issue since it is carried by, at most, two X-Com agents. Homing ability tracks large targets well but may be unable to follow quicker hostile units.
Explosive (HE) the strongest explosive available to X-Com which is used often, only surpassed in power only by the High Explosive demolition charge. Used to clear large areas of ground cover, severely damage hostiles from long distance and able to destroy building internals easily. High explosive missiles may be limited depending on the style of battlefield combat. Will detonate Poppers if it is the kill shot.
Incendiary (IN) ammunition for engulfing large groups of hostiles in flames and to cause anyone on fire to flee in all directions. The effect is identical to other incendiary effects. Ammunition quantity is rarely an issue since hostiles on fire will be injured over time and only need to set on fire once their torso flames die down. Keep them burning! Extinguish flames with gas effect grenades or explosives. Will detonate Poppers if they die inside any fire.
Flame Time Effective = burning well, will damage units, set fire to torso, spreads if possible.
Flame Time Extingushed = flames are dying down until no more.
On Fire Time = flames on torso.
Alien Gas (AG) Alien Gas missiles are manufactured to easily kill off large squads of aliens when a thrown Alien Gas grenade cannot reach.

-The Marsec Heavy Launcher is as its name implies. Heavy. It's also the largest squad-based weapon known to X-COM.
+ A guided missile launcher that can fire explosive or incendiary missles. It is an extremely devastating device and should be used with extreme caution. It is unwieldy because of its bulk and Agents with heavy launchers should at least be equipped with a supplementary weapon such as the Megapol Lawpistol.
-The Heavy Launcher is one of the most powerful weapons that X-COM can initially purchase. It fires missiles that automatically lock on and chase down their targets and will automatically adjust their headings if the target moves. If the target manages to evade the rocket by means of teleportation, the rocket will continue to correct its heading to attempt and relocate the target and will not stop until it either hits the target, collides with something solid or runs out of fuel. If the rocket flies off the map, it will not explode.
-Two variety of munitions are offered, standard high explosives and incendiary. The size of the rockets are considerably smaller than the [[Rocket Launcher|rockets]] used in the [[First Alien War]], so more can be carried.
-A late development of Anti Alien Gas rockets are also available as a means of dispersing anti-alien toxin over a wide area.
-Do note that although this is a devastating weapon, the use of high explosive and incendiary rockets for combat of alien forces within the city in public areas is discouraged. The collateral damage that the rockets cause can induce extreme damage to property, which X-COM is advised to keep to the barest minimum.
-There is also the chance that civilians might get hurt in the blasts, but that is merely an unfortunate mishap that often goes unnoticed by the building owners.
-The [[Marsec Minilauncher]] is a more favourable alternative for use in populated areas.
