Rocket Launcher (Revelations)

The Rocket Launcher is a single-shot weapon that does massive amounts of damage to anything in its blast radius, including Leon. The Rocket Launcher has a built-in scope, allowing Leon to target enemies at longer ranges. To purchase one from the merchant costs 30,000 pesetas, and it can be purchased from the beginning of the game. One can be found in the castle in a glass container. It takes up 16 spaces (8x2) of Leon's inventory. It is no longer an "endgame" weapon, and can be purchased early on if sufficient funds are acquired.

After firing a single rocket, the Rocket Launcher is useless and is discarded. Because of this, it should be saved for boss battles or other tough enemies. It is not advisable for all bosses, such as Krauser (his agility makes hitting him unlikely). However, it can prove useful in the battle against the twin Garradors, El Gigante, and Salazar. Due to its explosive blast and awkward handling, the Rocket Launcher is unsuitable for close-quarters combat; it is better suited for mid- to long-ranged combat, where its scope can be better utilized. There is also a "special" rocket launcher that can be obtained during the ending battle with saddler, that will kill him in one hit. The only difference between the regular and special rocket launchers is that the special has a red rocket. You cannot buy the special rocket launcher from the merchant.

The Rocket Launcher cannot be upgraded.

Infinite Launcher
This weapon does the same damage as the normal rocket launcher, but can be shot an infinite number of times. The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase after completing the game once. It can be bought for 1,000,000 pesetas. It takes up 16 spaces (8x2) of Leon's inventory. It deals identical damage to the normal rocket launcher.
