Changes: Rocket Launcher

Revision as of 19:02, 19 December 2019

The Rocket Launcher is a recurring weapon in the Resident Evil series. It is a large, shoulder-fired weapon that uses powerful, high-explosive rockets. These weapons inflict massive damage to almost anything - including the player if they're caught in the blast. However, they tend to be cumbersome, somewhat slow to aim, and very low on ammunition. Rocket Launchers are indeed the most powerful weapons that the player can carry.

In the Resident Evil series, the Rocket Launcher is often acquired at the end of the games to use on the final boss. However, in some games, these weapons can be bought using money. Typical Resident Evil rocket launchers have only one or two rockets; after that they become useless, as no additional rockets are available.

However, the rocket launchers can usually be unlocked and will come with infinite ammo and be used throughout the game. In Resident Evil 4, there is a separate rocket launcher the player can unlock and buy with infinite ammo rather than the standard having infinite ammo unlocked for it.

-The '''Rocket Launcher''' is a large, shoulder fired weapon that shoots powerful, high-explosive rockets. These weapons inflict massive damage to almost any creature. In the Resident Evil series the rocket launcher is often acquired at the end of the games to use on the final boss. However in some RE games these weapons can be bought using money. Typically rocket launchers have only one rocket and after shooting it the player will dispose of the weapon, however rocket launchers with Infinite Ammo are often included in the games. The Infinite Ammo versions are aquired by accomplishing special requirements in [[Resident Evil 4]]/ [[Resident Evil 5]].

-[[File:We008.jpg|thumb]]The Rocket Launcher (based on its design in RE5) appears as a weapon card in the Resident Evil DBG. It is the single most damaging weapon in the game by itself, and is capable of killing any Infected (and all opposing characters save for Wesker and Chris) instantly. Alongside the Gatling Gun, it is normally kept in the Mansion Area unless placed elsewhere by another scenarios rules. After a single use it is trashed, that is placed back in the Mansion. However, Jill Valentine is capable of using the Rocket Launcher infinitely due to her Level 2 effect and with increased damage due to her first effect.

-==Trivia==
+|}
-*The speed at which the rockets fired from all these Launchers travel is very slow compared to their real life counterpart; in game they all travel at a constant speed, while in real life they launched with an initial speed of about 300 m/s and increase their speed up to 900 m/s, probably detonating at this point.
-*In the main series games, the rocket launcher will make most of the enemies (zombies, Cerberi, Plaga infected humans) lose their limbs or at least their head when they're attacked with it. Strangely, the Infinite rocket launcher obtained in Resident Evil Remake will only make the zombies go into "invernate estate" which allows them to become a Crimson Head. The only kind of enemy whose body would get mutilated are the Cerberi.
-*Even though the Rocket Launcher featured in the Outbreak series is the same model, its more powerful in Resident Evil Outbreak, having a basic attack of 18000 damage, while its counterpart from File #2 deals 8000 damage. However this last rocket launcher can damage two enemies at the same time.
