| − | The '''Rocket Launcher''' is the default [[Weapons#soldierprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Soldier]]. It is a typical rocket-propelling device with a protruding metal side and a wide exhaust port.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The launcher can hold up to four loaded rockets and fires them as [[projectile]]s at a speed of around 1100 [[Hammer unit]]s per second, roughly 47 mph. The trajectory of these rockets are not affected by gravity; they will travel in a straight line until exploding on contact with any surface or opponent. Rockets inflict damage in a set splash radius; damage inflicted decreases the further the distance from the center of the explosion. Normal rockets have significant damage falloff over long distances, while [[critical]] rockets suffer no such falloff. Upon a kill, players will most likely explode into [[gibs]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the explosion from rockets causes [[knockback]] on enemies, an experienced player can [[juggling|juggle]] opponents. Doing so can deal [[fall damage]] to these enemies when they land. The player can use the knockback effect on themselves in order to perform a [[Jumping#Rocket jumps|rocket jump]] by firing at the ground beneath them and catapulting themselves upwards. Simultaneously crouching increases the height and length of the jump. This technique can be used to reach areas not accessible to other classes.

| − | * In the GCF's Rocket Launcher folder, there exists a texture of the old TFC Rocket Launcher. The texture is listed as <code>new_worldrpg_combo</code>.

| − | ==Trivia== | |
| − | * The weapon seems to be a heavily stylized {{w|RPG-7}}. The handle and the grip have been switched around, the rear exhaust port and the sights are cartoonishly over-sized and it seems to fire modified {{w|RPG-2}} grenades.
| |
| − | * It is actually possible to hold 4 rockets in a real Rocket Launcher at one time. However, the launchers that can do this are modern designs with a protruding "magazine", not the traditional World War II era "Bazooka" the Soldier uses; these could only hold one rocket at a time.
| |
| − | * Upon comparing the Rocket Launcher seen in the original ''Team Fortress 2'' trailers to the current in-game Rocket Launcher, it can be seen that the trigger was originally placed on the front handle of the launcher and that rockets were loaded at the muzzle. In-game, the trigger is located on the rear of the two handles, although the reload animation remains the same.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * Despite the kill notification of the Rocket Launcher showing a checkered rocket as the kill icon, the rocket in game bears no such pattern.
