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! — Beggar's Bazooka publicity blurb

”

The Beggar's Bazooka is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a crude rocket launcher made from pipes, mismatched handles and a filter 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 primary fire, the Soldier will begin loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the Soldier will fire all stored rockets in quick succession, which is 70% faster than standard Rocket Launcher, each with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion. If the player attempts to load a fourth rocket, both it and one of the loaded rockets will explode in the Soldier's hands, heavily damaging the Soldier and any enemies around him. The player can continue to load rockets, alternating between loading a third rocket and producing a misfire. If the player has no ammo in reserve, any rounds in the Beggar's Bazooka's clip will not be fired until the primary fire key is released. Misfires can be used for powerful rocket jumps, due to the Bazooka's largely damaging explosion occurring very near to the player.

If the Soldier wishes to collect Beggar's Bazooka ammo from a Dispenser (including Payload carts), he must first switch to a different weapon.

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