”

The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier. Its appearance is identical to the Rocket Launcher.

As a training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets, allowing players to freely practice rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets to use. Unfortunately, the Soldier's damage vulnerabilities are greatly increased.

Update history

September 30, 2010 Patch (The Mann-Conomy Update)

• This Rocket Jumper was added to the game.

October 27, 2010 Patch (Scream Fortress Update)

• Added a 100 health penalty to the Rocket Jumper.

December 22, 2010 Patch

• The Rocket Jumper now has no max health penalty, but has damage vulnerabilities instead.

July 1, 2011 Patch

• [Undocumented] The Rocket Jumper no longer prevents self-damage from the Kamikaze kill-taunt.

Bugs

• Reflected rockets fired from the Rocket Jumper will deal damage to Pyros that attempt to rocket jump using the deflected rocket.
• With the Rocket Jumper equipped the player will not take self damage from explosives. This includes environmental explosives set by the player.
• Due to how bullet vulnerability is calculated, certain non-bullet weapons deal 100% more damage to a Rocket Jumper wielder. This includes the Syringe Gun, the Targe Bash, and most Taunt attacks.
• While reloading, it is possible to force the reload animation to loop endlessly by holding both the left and right mouse button after reloading at least one rocket.

Trivia

• If a Pyro kills himself with reflected Rocket Jumper rockets, the killicon will show a normal rocket-reflection suicide icon. This is also the only way one can perform a kill with the Rocket Jumper.
