The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier. Similar in appearance to the Rocket Launcher, it features an orange-painted blast shield and exhaust with white stripes, and lacks a front iron-sight.

The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets to use. The user is still vulnerable to self-damage from fall damage. While in midair via a Rocket Jumper rocket jump, a "flying sound" will play, acknowledging the player's success. In addition, the lack of self-inflicted blast damage allows the Soldier to perform the Kamikaze taunt without gibbing himself. Players equipped with this weapon are unable to carry the intelligence.
