The Beta Pocket Rocket Launcher 3 is a primary weapon for the Soldier that currently only exists in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Direct Hit model.
Rockets fired from the weapon are identical to that of the Rocket Launcher, dealing the same damage and traveling the same speed. Upon damaging an enemy, however, the Soldier will lose 10 health. If the Soldier is being healed by a Medic, then his reload speed is increased by 50%.
Since the item is still in an unreleased stage, these attributes may be changed or the weapon may be scrapped entirely.
