updated in an update, along with all explosions. The tool icon is a rocket pointing diagonally up.
Sometime in 2011, the rocket launcher was updated and given a new ammo look, which looks more like a rocket than it did previously. Oddly, the rocket launcher is held with the back in the front. No one has made an attempt to fix it, and it does not significantly affect gameplay.
The model for the Rocket Launcher is the Swedish (Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle). UristMcSparks created an endorsed model of a Rocket Launcher.
The Rocket Launcher was also featured in an advertisement/sign of Happy Home in Robloxia. According to the sign, it could also be used if a player is tired of building, according to one of the signs in the original.
Tips
- Since the Rocket Launcher is a slow projectile, it can be easy to dodge, rendering it useless in simple far-ranged combat. However, it is best used in close-ranged combat along, with the Sword, since the rocket moves fast enough for others to quickly react to it around a 10-stud radius.
