Trivia
- With this weapon equipped, it is possible to survive the Kamikaze taunt of the Equalizer; the player will only suffer fall damage after being launched into the air. This is similar to an early bug that existed when the Gunboats were first implemented.
- Reflected rockets fired from the Rocket Jumper will not deal any damage.
- This weapon may find use in legitimate play, as one could quickly reach the front lines by rocket jumping without having to worry about conserving rockets or taking self-damage. Combined with the Pain Train, it could be possible to quickly capture control points.
- Notably skilled players may also be able to use this weapon with the Shotgun effectively.
- This weapon is most commonly used in user created training-maps, usually called "Jump" maps. These maps follow the prefix title "jump_mapname."
- This weapon provides immunity blast damage from the exploding pumpkins in Harvest.
- The Dead Ringer will not be activated by this weapon.
