The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier Class which was released with the Mann-Conomy Update. Its appearance is identical to the Rocket Launcher.
As the first training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets allowing players to freely practice rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets.

Previous Changes
- Added a 100 health penalty to the Rocket Jumper.
Bugs
- With this weapon equipped, it is possible to survive the Kamikaze taunt of the Equalizer; the player will only suffer fall damage after being launched into the air. This is similar to an early bug that existed when the Gunboats were first implemented.
- Reflected rockets fired from the Rocket Jumper will only deal damage to the Pyro reflecting it beneath himself (ie. attempting a rocket jump with a deflected rocket).
- Equipping the Rocket Jumper grants the player immunity to the blast damage from pumpkin bombs in Harvest and Mann Manor.
