The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier Class which was released with the Mann-Conomy Update. Its appearance is identical to the Rocket Launcher.
As the first training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets allowing players to freely practice Rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets.

Note: The blueprint simply makes a Soldier's primary weapon, there is still a chance of getting the Direct Hit or Black Box instead. There will be a 33% chance of crafting this item.
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 only deal damage to the Pyro reflecting it beneath himself (ie. attempting a rocket jump with a deflected rocket).
- This weapon has some use in legitimate play, as one could quickly reach the front lines or the enemy flag 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, or with the Equalizer, it is possible to "Kamikaze jump" higher than a rocket jump.
- Equipping the Rocket Jumper grants the player immunity to the blast damage from exploding pumpkins in Harvest.
