The '''Beggar's Bazooka''' (also known simply as '''Beggar's''') is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#soldierprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Soldier]]. It is a crude, jerry-rigged {{botignore|rocket launcher}} made from flanged pipes, mismatched handles (with the back handle being the handle of a flashlight), and a filter held together with bolts, electrical tape, and various straps and belts. A metallic funnel is attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port and a bent, metal rod attached at the front serves as a makeshift sight.

−
The Beggar's Bazooka starts with 0 rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the Soldier will begin loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the Soldier will fire all stored rockets in quick succession, each with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion; however, if the player attempts to load a fourth rocket, it will misfire, heavily damaging the Soldier and any enemies around him. If the player has no ammo in reserve, any rounds in the Beggar's Bazooka's clip will not be fired until the primary fire key is released. Misfires can be used for powerful rocket jumps, due to its largely damaging explosion occurring very near to the player.

The Beggar's Bazooka starts with zero rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire {{DK|MOUSE1}}, the Soldier begins loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and continues to do so as long as primary fire is held down. While loading rockets or having any rockets loaded, the user cannot switch weapons. Upon releasing, the Soldier fires all stored rockets in quick succession, a firing speed 233% faster than the regular [[Rocket Launcher]], and each rocket is fired with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. However, the [[Projectiles|rockets]] have a 20% smaller blast radius and reload slower than the standard Rocket Launcher. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion. If the player attempts to load a fourth rocket, the weapon misfires and causes one of the loaded rockets to explode, heavily damaging the Soldier and any enemies around him. The player can continue to load rockets, producing misfires until the weapon is unloaded. Misfires can be used for powerful rocket jumps, due to the Bazooka's largely damaging explosion occurring very near the player. If the player has no ammo in reserve, the Soldier still attempts to load rockets and misfires loaded rockets.
  
−
The Beggar's Bazooka cannot collect ammo from [[Dispenser]]s, so Soldiers using the weapon must rely on collecting ammo from ammo packs, using the [[Resupply Cabinet]] or picking up weapons dropped by dead players.
+
While not listed in the description, the time it takes for the Beggar's Bazooka to reload a single rocket and fire is about 33% faster than the stock Rocket Launcher. This is due to the significantly shorter attack interval time.
  
−
The Beggar's Bazooka was [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3022 contributed] to the [[Steam Workshop]] under the name "Doe's Dumpster Device".
+
A Soldier who wishes to collect Beggar's Bazooka ammo from a [[Dispenser]] (including [[Payload|Payload carts]]) must first switch to a different weapon.

“
What is better than killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher? Killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher that YOU HAVE MADE!
— Beggar's Bazooka publicity blurb
 ”

The Beggar's Bazooka (also known simply as Beggar's) is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a crude, jerry-rigged rocket launcher made from flanged pipes, mismatched handles (with the back handle being the handle of a flashlight), and a filter held together with bolts, electrical tape, and various straps and belts. A metallic funnel is attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port and a bent, metal rod attached at the front serves as a makeshift sight.

The Beggar's Bazooka starts with zero rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire (default key: MOUSE1), the Soldier begins loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and continues to do so as long as primary fire is held down. While loading rockets or having any rockets loaded, the user cannot switch weapons. Upon releasing, the Soldier fires all stored rockets in quick succession, a firing speed 233% faster than the regular Rocket Launcher, and each rocket is fired with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. However, the rockets have a 20% smaller blast radius and reload slower than the standard Rocket Launcher. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion. If the player attempts to load a fourth rocket, the weapon misfires and causes one of the loaded rockets to explode, heavily damaging the Soldier and any enemies around him. The player can continue to load rockets, producing misfires until the weapon is unloaded. Misfires can be used for powerful rocket jumps, due to the Bazooka's largely damaging explosion occurring very near the player. If the player has no ammo in reserve, the Soldier still attempts to load rockets and misfires loaded rockets.

While not listed in the description, the time it takes for the Beggar's Bazooka to reload a single rocket and fire is about 33% faster than the stock Rocket Launcher. This is due to the significantly shorter attack interval time.

A Soldier who wishes to collect Beggar's Bazooka ammo from a Dispenser (including Payload carts) must first switch to a different weapon.

The Beggar's Bazooka was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

  • Rockets occasionally hang stationary in the air until a player runs into it.
  • Tapping the primary fire button may cause the shot to not play the firing sound.
  • If the player keeps holding the primary fire after losing, the Soldier will continue to reload the Beggar's Bazooka, causing misfires. This can potentially kill enemy players during humiliation.
  • Taunting after loading a rocket does not release the rockets from the player's weapon clip. Additionally, toggle taunts store the rockets in the same way; they are released if the taunt ends or is cancelled.
    • This also occurs when the player opens the Contracker menu or uses the cyoa_pda_open console command. [1]
