Rocket Launcher

The Rocket Launcher is a staple in the Resident Evil series as the main character usually only gets it at the end and uses it to defeat the final boss.

In Resident Evil
Available only for the final battle (or in the main game as a secret unlockable weapon), the Rocket Launcher is the most powerful weapon in the game, able to kill any enemy in one shot. However, it cannot be aimed at high or low angles. The Rocket Launcher at the end of the game only has four rockets without any replacement ammo available. However, a version of the Rocket Launcher with unlimited ammo can be unlocked with a cleared file after finishing the game in less than three hours. This weapon is difficult to use, and it is highly recommended that the character be positioned far from the enemy, especially agile opponents such as the Hunter, to properly utilise it without taking damage.
