Rocket Launcher (ロケットランチャー, rokettoranchā) is a weapon in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Location

Rocket Launcher can be found within the Dead Factory. The player will need the Facility Key as well as the Card Key obtained after the fight with Nemesis in the BOW disposal room (the Card Key is red, and is needed to exit the room before the timer expires).

While the player is in the lower levels of the Dead Factory, solving the puzzle involving the Water Sample, they can attach the plastic card onto the Facility Key into a machine nearby. Doing so activates the card, imprinting it with a barcode.

When the player obtains the Card Key after the Nemesis battle, they should proceed to the Save room and then enter the connecting room containing the steam valve puzzle. There is a nearby elevator that can only be activated through the use of the Card Key.

At the end of the hallway is a locker that can only be opened with the Facility Key containing the barcode, wherein the rocket launcher is stashed.

Gameplay

Standard

This weapon is wielded by Mikhail Victor in the Operation: Mad Jackal minigame, though with a limited capacity of eight rockets.

Infinite version

A version of the Rocket Launcher with infinite ammo can be purchased for $4000 in "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" minigame. Once purchased, the weapon will be available for both Jill & Carlos Inventory.

The Rocket Launcher is the most powerful weapon in the game, capable to one-shot all but Nemesis, who needs 2 rockets to take him down. However the aiming time is much slower than any weapon; it is advised to keep distance toward enemies, especially aforementioned Nemesis. It should be noted that Rocket Launcher does not have capabilities to deal splash damage for an explosive weapon, unlike Grenade Launcher and Mine Thrower.

Unlike in previous iteration, using Rocket Launcher will not affect overall gameplay grade and only take single inventory space.
