The Liberty Launcher is a community-made primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an army green rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a leaf sight adorned with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a cracked wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.
This weapon is capable of launching rocket projectiles that travel at a rate of 1540 Hammer Units per second; roughly 66 mph, and 40% faster than the default Rocket Launcher's rockets. However, the Liberty Launcher can only have three rockets loaded at once.

- The Liberty Launcher's wire frame exhaust port and unusable iron sights resemble parts of the M1 Template:W.
