Rocket Launcher

The Rocket Launcher is a heavy ranged weapon that fires rockets and comes in multiple ammunition types, including normal, Cluster Rocket, and Penetrator Rocket. It is a high-damage tool rather than a general-purpose firearm, and its standout use is burst damage against dangerous targets at long range.

Its most notable trait is that it is one of the two weapons capable of killing Composers, and it can destroy them with a single rocket. That makes it a specialized answer to one of the game’s toughest enemies, especially when you want to eliminate a Composer quickly instead of relying on sustained fire. Because of its explosive nature, it is best used when you have room to aim safely and when the target is either isolated or too dangerous to engage up close.

The weapon also has visible reload animations across multiple upgrade levels, with separate animations shown for early levels and for level 20. In practical terms, this reinforces its role as a weapon you commit to carefully: fire, reposition, then reload before taking the next shot. The available rocket variants suggest flexible use depending on the situation, with different shot behaviors for direct impact, crowd handling, or penetration.

• Fires rocket ammunition rather than standard bullets.
• Supports normal, Cluster Rocket, and Penetrator Rocket shots.
• Can kill Composers with a single rocket, making it one of the few weapons that can do so.
• Best used from safety, since its power is tied to deliberate, high-impact shots.
• Reloading is shown with distinct animations across multiple weapon levels.

If you are carrying the Rocket Launcher, treat each shot as a major resource. It is most valuable when saved for priority enemies, especially Composers, or for moments when a single explosive hit is more efficient than prolonged combat.
