— The Soldier after jumping too high
|
” |
The Rocket Jumper is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is similar in shape to the Rocket Launcher, but with an orange-and-white painted exhaust, a triangular sign depicting a silhouette of a rocket jumping Soldier, and a flared muzzle.
The Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets, allowing players to freely practice rocket jumping techniques without taking self-inflicted damage from explosions. The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets to use. While in midair via a Rocket Jumper rocket jump, a distinct flying sound plays, acknowledging the player's success. However, rockets fired from the Rocket Jumper deal no damage or knockback to enemy players, making it completely ineffective as an actual weapon. In addition, players equipped with this weapon are unable to carry the objective pickup in Capture the Flag, Special Delivery, and PASS Time.

Bugs
- While this weapon is equipped, the user is unable to collect the pickup-objective (beer bottles, fish buckets etc.) in Player Destruction maps.
- Performing a rocket jump with the Rocket Jumper triggers on-hit effects (e.g., resetting Concheror's health regeneration and igniting Gas Passer). This is because, in the game's code, the Rocket Jumper's rockets do damage equal to the stock Rocket Launcher's multiplied by 0, in order to make the knockback consistent between the two weapons.
Trivia
- The sign on the Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper is based on the slow moving vehicle warning sign in the US and Canada.
- When a glitched Killstreak Kit is added to the Rocket Jumper, the killstreak sheen still appears, unlike most items with an added glitched Killstreak Kit.
