Weapon functions(how it works for ut2004)
- primary fire fires a single shot
- secondary fire draws 3 rockets into the firing chamber
- once the chamber is full, or alt fire is released, the rockets are launched
- Pressing primary fire after alt fire sends the three rockets in a tight spiral rather than a fide, fan-like spread.
Basic use
- The rocket launcher is a general purpouse; high dammage weapon that shoots projectiles that explodes on contact
Tactical uses of the rocket launcher in Onslaught
- If a player is broadcasting his position - i.e. you know where he is by seeing his shots; but can't see him; load up 3 rockets and time your encounter so that the rockets fly as you come face to face.
- They are very useful against scorpions. The momentum stops a scorpion in it's tracks; causing a spin and disorientation in your opponents. 3 rockets will give you a frag as well
- The preferred medium range weapon vs a goliath. Dodging in front; releasing a rocket, and dodging again for cover works well. Making the initial attack a 3 rocket attack will take a big dent out of his health before he knows he is being attacked.
- Rockets fly very straight and are ideal to attack nodes or turrets at a distance. Lining up a long shot with a sniper rifle; and staying motionless is a risky but handy strategy.
- Rockets are rarely useful against mantas or raptors; unless they are pinned down by a shock core or turret.
Tactical uses of the rocket launcher in Deathmatch
- the rocket launcher causes your opponent to leave the floor; preventing him from dodging. Good players can predict where the player will land, and another rocket will meet the player as he lands
- Hitting the ground by a player's feet is easier than hitting a player. Launching the rocket from the top of a jump or dodge gives you a better angle to target your opponent's feet than shooting from standing.
Counters to the Rocket Launcher
- The rockets are slow moving; so dodging out of the way is reasonably straightforward.
- Do not dodge excessively; or your movement patterns can be predicted, and your opponent will know where you will land
- Do not get backed onto a wall or a steep hillside, where the splash dammage from a vertical surface will dammage you.
- Try to keep the higher ground.
- Retreat gently, from where other weapons will be more effective, or close the distance and use flak (or even if you loose the duel there's a fair chance that your opponent will injure himself as well)
Rumours
- One rumour is that rockets are heat seeking in UT2007
- The rocket launcher will be able to fire grenades.
