Now that is what I want to see! Click to listen — The Soldier on proper rocket jumping techniques

”

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, limiting its practical usage while in combat with enemy players.

• 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.
• With the Rocket Jumper and Equalizer pickaxe you can survive the Kamikaze kill taunt this was patch a while ago and brought back after the manniversary update.
