This weapon encourages the Soldier wielding it and a [[Medic]] to work together; the Soldier will take ten damage for each successful hit they score, and the Medic's healing rate with the [[Medi Gun]], [[Kritzkrieg]] or [[Quick-Fix]] can make up for this downside, in addition to activating the weapon's upside.

— The Soldier
 ”

The Beta Pocket Rocket Launcher is a primary weapon for the Soldier that was tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Direct Hit model.

This weapon encourages the Soldier wielding it and a Medic to work together; the Soldier will take ten damage for each successful hit they score, and the Medic's healing rate with the Medi Gun, Kritzkrieg or Quick-Fix can make up for this downside, in addition to activating the weapon's upside.

Three variants of the weapon exist, each one offering a different upside. The standard Beta Pocket Rocket Launcher gives the Soldier a Mini-Crit boost for six seconds if the Medic healing him is killed. The Beta Pocket Rocket Launcher 2 increases the rate at which the Medic builds ÜberCharge by 15% while healing the Soldier; this attribute will not work in spawn rooms, however. Lastly, the Beta Pocket Rocket Launcher 3 allows the Soldier to reload his weapons faster while being healed by any source, including Dispensers.

All three variants of the weapon have been removed from players' backpacks as of the November 9, 2011 Patch (Beta).
