Rocket Launcher

Community builds that use it

• ArsonistMake everything explode: Shredder or Sticky Grenade early with Attack Speed, then Fireball and other explosive or elemental weapons. Buy explosion and Elemental Damage items and some defence for the slow early burn.
• ArtificerExplosion build: start Shredder and move to Rocket, Grenade or Nuclear Launchers, or use Planks; stack Explosion Size and Elemental Damage, which also enlarges explosions. Wrench and Screwdriver became viable after Tool weapons got +100% damage in 1.1.0.0.
• BuccaneerPicking up materials resets weapon cooldowns, so use slow, high base-damage guns such as Laser Gun, Double Barrel Shotgun or Shredder, and collect materials only when enemies are close. Large auto-pickup items such as Sifd's Relic work against this.
• GluttonSix Pruners spawn Gardens whose consumables trigger Glutton's explosions; stack Luck and Melee Damage and stay at full HP so each pickup adds Explosion Damage. Spicy Sauce merges into the innate explosion, and Lemonade or Weird Food help heal.
