Weapon | Kill Icon | ESEA 6s legal? | ETF2L HL legal? | ETF2L 6s legal? | UGC HL legal? | Info |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stock Rocket Launcher |
Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | The Rocket Launcher is the default primary weapon for the soldier, due to its versatility. The combination of high splash and direct damage, four rocket clipsize, knockback and the ability to rocket jump make this the most popular choice for almost every soldier. | |
Promotional Original |
Although the Original is a reskin of the default Rocket Launcher, it fires rockets from the center of the player's view. | |||||
Unlock Direct Hit |
Yes | Yes | No | Yes | The Direct Hit is a spinoff of the default primary weapon, allowing for precise shots due to the reduced spread and buffed damage. Granting minicrits for airshots and destroying level 3 buildings in 2 shots, the Direct Hit is a great weapon to counter jumping soldiers, or to take out the enemy sentry. The projectiles also travel 80% faster | |
Craft Black Box |
Yes | Yes | No | Yes | The Black Box has identical stats to the stock rocket launcher, except for the fact that you have one less rocket, but gain 15 health for every enemy you hit. This makes the black box ideal for roaming around the map without a medic. Pioneered by Vhalin, the black box can be used effectively if you can land your rockets with accuracy. | |
Craft Rocket Jumper |
N/A | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | The Rocket Jumper deals no damage, to yourself or enemies. It is often used as a training weapon for rocket jumping, and thus is rarely seen outside of pubs/jump servers. If it is seen, it is generally used to troll the other team, as it is just not as useful in a competitive setting, compared to the rocket launcher. |
Craft Liberty Launcher |
No | No | No | Yes | The Liberty Launcher isn't used often at all in the competitive scene, giving you faster rocket speeds at the cost of one rocket. It is usually banned in 6s because it pretty much locks down both of the scouts on the other team. This weapon doesn't see a lot of use, and is widely considered a crutch. | |
Craft Cow Mangler 5000 |
No | No | No | Yes | The Cow Mangler 5000, while an attractive choice on paper, results in an overall slower and less effective play style. On top of this, the Cow Mangler is very bad at dealing with Mini Sentries, which prevents soldiers from using the weapon in most situations.
The charge shot has been shows to be situationally useful by providing a "Ranged Sap" for a Wrangled Sentry. | |
Craft Beggar's Bazooka |
No | No | No | No | The Beggar's Bazooka is perhaps the most unique rocket launcher out of the 7 choices. Instead of having 4 rockets loaded like most others, it starts with zero loaded, and the player is required to hold down their Primary Attack button to load the rockets. Only 3 rockets can be held at one time, and loading additional rockets will cause the launcher to overload, damaging the Soldier and any players in the immediate area. However, the Soldier can intentionally overload, and use the damage to jump across large areas, similar to a rocket jump, albeit much more powerful. A bomb from a soldier holding the Bazooka is nearly unstoppable. The explosion from overloading the chamber can be used to rocket jump with the full three rockets in the clip, and when a glitch was found to allow holding all three rockets indefinitely, the weapon was quickly banned in all leagues. |
