Previous Changes

October 27, 2010 Patch

  • Added a 100 health penalty to the Rocket Jumper.

Bugs

  • 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 deal damage to Pyros that attempt to make a rocket jump using the deflected rocket.
  • Pumpkin bombs set off by the Rocket Jumper do no damage to the wielder.
