  • The Heavy's alternative weapon. It fires a rocket that deals high damage over a large area. Rockets will destroy Cover and make enemies vulnerable.
  • Rocket Launchers have 1 shot per mission.
    • Extra rockets can be added with the Shredder Rocket or Rocketeer abilities.
  • The Rocket Launcher is a free-aim weapon. Anything can be targeted as long as there is a clear line of fire.
  • Rockets can miss. Take extra care when firing the Rocket Launcher near allies or civilians
  • Rockets do not need to hit a surface or an enemy target to explode. They can therefore be set to explode in-mid air. This is useful for targeting several airborne and ground based enemies with the same rocket.
  • Rockets can be further improved with Danger Zone (increases blast radius) and Mayhem (increases damage by 2 points).


  • In later stages of the game, the Rocket Launcher is be replaced by the Blaster Launcher. A significant upgrade featuring improved damage and rockets that can navigate around obstacles and phase through windows and doors.
