Function[]
The rocket has two firing modes which are passively on. One is the basic straight fire, where it will go in a straight line depending on where the user clicked. The other is that when the user puts their cursor over another player, a red diamond will appear. If the player can successfully keep the lock, the diamond will shrink, indicating that it is then able to track and follow the target. Once shot this way, it quickly follows the target, and if successfully hit, deals infinite (math.huge in code) damage.
Once a player is targeted by a homing missile, it can be very difficult to escape without any speed enhancements. The Artemis Bow and Super Speedy Purple Potion even are usually not fast enough to escape a homing rocket, but if a player can reach a much faster speed, for example driving an Ultimate Drive Speedster, then it will be relatively difficult for your target to successfully hit by a homing missile. The best technique to avoid the rocket is for the player to drive around an enemy in a large circle, which effectively outruns the missile.
It should be noted that the mesh and abilities of this gear item and the Glory Launcher 2012 are very similar. It is also a common gear item used by gear abusers due to the fact that it can easily KO players in a single hit, especially when the user uses the second mode.
