Rocket Launcher
Rocket launchers predictably fire rockets, which explode with spectacular results. You won’t find weapons that fire slower or take longer to reload, but you won’t get as much bang for your buck elsewhere, either. It’s not at all unusual to find a rocket that inflicts 10 times per hit what your closest damage sniper rifle can do. Naturally, some tradeoffs come with this power. The most obvious is that you can’t ever carry a huge number of rockets in reserve—no greater than 27 total, even with a maximized rocket SDU. Launchers have clumsier handling characteristics compared to other weapons. And the rockets themselves travel much more slowly than bullets do, which alters how you must aim. Still, rockets can be an invaluable tool, whether you save them for a rainy day against a boss or Badass or use them for extra punch against soft peons to easily score a Second Wind when you’re knocked down.
