This particular variant has all the bells and whistles befitting an entire front line unit: folding sight, capacity to split into two parts for easier carrying, and a stock that can be comfortably used by one in every 500 soldiers.
— Liberty Launcher publicity blurb
 ”

The Liberty Launcher is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an olive-shaded rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a leaf sight adorned with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a cracked wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.

The Liberty Launcher's rockets travel at a rate of roughly 106 km/h – 40% faster than normal rockets, along with a clip size of five rockets instead of four. Self-damage taken from rocket jumping with this weapon is also reduced by 25%. As a downside, the Liberty Launcher deals 25% less damage to enemies compared to the stock Rocket Launcher, making the Liberty Launcher more accurate and mobile, but less damaging overall.
