| − | The '''Rocket Launcher''' is the default [[Weapons#soldierprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Soldier]]. It is a typical rocket-launching device with wooden grips, a large front sight, and a wide exhaust port.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Rocket Launcher holds up to four rockets, firing them as [[projectile]]s at a speed of around 1100 [[Hammer unit]]s per second (roughly {{Tooltip|76 km/h|47 mph}}). Rockets travel in a straight line, unaffected by gravity, [[Projectiles#Explosions|exploding]] on contact with any surface or player. Rocket explosions deal damage in a set radius; damage inflicted decreases the further the distance from the center of the explosion, with a player taking only 50% of the normal damage at the very edge of the blast radius. Rockets also have damage falloff over long distances. Players killed by rockets will most likely explode into [[gibs]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the explosion from rockets causes [[knockback]], an experienced player can launch opponents into the air by aiming at their feet, causing them to take [[fall damage]] or potentially pushing them into environmental hazards. The player can also use the knockback in order to perform a [[Jumping#Soldier_jumps|rocket jump]] by firing at the ground beneath themselves, catapulting themselves vertically and/or horizontally. Crouching during the explosion increases the height and length of the jump while also decreasing the self-inflicted damage. This technique can be used to reach areas inaccessible to other classes, quickly advance, or escape from a bad situation.

| − | ==Bugs==
| |
| − | * While reloading, the Rocket Launcher will occasionally appear to load an extra rocket.
| |
| − | * Sometimes, the player will stay stuck in the reload position. This can be fixed by switching weapons.
| |
| − | * When shooting a rocket underwater, if it comes out of the water it will still have bubble particles following it instead of the regular flame particles used on land.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Unused content ==
| |
| − | * In the VPK's Rocket Launcher folder, there exists a texture of the [[Rocket Launcher (Classic)|old TFC Rocket Launcher]]. The texture is listed as <code>new_worldrpg_combo</code>.
| |
| − | * Another Rocket Launcher is included in the VPK, with a white, outlined Rocket Launcher texture. It is in a folder listed as <code>W_RPG</code>. The texture is listed as <code>w_rocketlauncher01</code>.
| |
| − | * There is yet another Rocket Launcher in the game files. It is in a folder listed as <code>v_rocketlauncher</code>; all the files except <code>v_rocket</code>, <code>v_rocketlauncher01.vtf</code> and <code>v_rocketlauncher01_gold.vtf</code> are unused. It is currently unknown from what game this was recycled, or if it was created in an alpha stage of Team Fortress 2.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * The weapon seems to be a heavily stylized [[w:RPG-7|RPG-7]], with the firing trigger moved to the rear grip, and the exhaust port cartoonishly oversized. The (also oversized) front sight appears to be based on that of an [[w:M79 grenade launcher|M79 Grenade Launcher]], and it appears to fire modified [[w:RPG-2|RPG-2]] grenades.
| |
| − | ** The Rocket Launcher seen in the original ''Team Fortress 2'' trailers had the trigger correctly placed on the front grip of the launcher.
| |
| − | ** The way that the Soldier loads multiple rockets into the Rocket Launcher at once is, in reality, physically impossible, as a real RPG-7 can only fit one rocket into the barrel at a time.
| |
| − | * Despite the Rocket Launcher's animation indicating high recoil, real rocket launchers have no recoil at all, as the reaction force is released through the exhaust port.
| |
| − | * The Rocket Launcher was originally single-rocket loaded, much like its ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'' counterpart. An animation of this still exists in the game files.
| |
| − | * The Soldier's Rocket Launcher was usable by Megabeth in ''[[Super Monday Night Combat]]'' as part of a cross-promotion.
| |
| − | * The Rocket Launcher, along with the [[Rainblower]] and [[Stock weapons|Stock]] [[Flame Thrower]] were obtainable in ''Saints Row IV'' by pre-ordering the game on [[Steam]].
