What is better than killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher? Killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher that YOU HAVE MADE!
— The Beggar's Bazooka publicity blurb

The Beggar's Bazooka is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an improvised Rocket Launcher made from pipes, mismatched handles and a filter, and is held together with bolts, electrical tape, and various straps and belts. A funnel is attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port.

The Beggar's Bazooka starts with 0 rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down the fire key, the Soldier will begin loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and will continue to do so as long as the fire key is held down. Upon releasing, the Soldier will fire all stored rockets in quick succession, each with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion, though if the player continues to hold down the fire key after the third rocket loads, it will misfire, heavily damaging the Soldier.

The Beggar's Bazooka cannot collect ammo from Dispensers, so Soldiers using the weapon must rely on collecting ammo from ammo packs, using the Resupply Cabinet or picking up weapons dropped by dead players.

The Beggar's Bazooka was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Doe's Dumpster Device".

Bugs

  • Holding down the secondary fire key would continue to play the loading animation but will not load additional shots, causing it not to fire or to misfire when it is at its limit, releasing the button will allow it to fire normally.
  • As with other rocket launchers, the Soldier does not actually load a visible rocket into the chamber, instead he just pats the nose of the weapon.
