Summary[]
The only weapon with explosion damage in the game. The Rocket Launcher can be used to quickly take control in a map by killing multiple enemies with 1 shot.
Explosion Damage[]
Each rocket fired by the Rocket Launcher explodes in a 4 meter radius[1]. Any player caught within the blast will suffer 150 damage. The rocket damage then begins to drop from 150 damage at 3.5 meters to 50 damage at 5 meters. And then no damage at all.
Like all weapons in the game, there is no friendly fire. However you can hurt yourself with any shot fired. This can be difficult to do with most weapons as it requires a Portal to hit yourself. However killing yourself with a rocket is possible simply by shooting a rocket into a target less than 5 meters away from yourself. Killing yourself does reduce the team score in many game modes such as Team Deathmatch.
Reloading[]
Similar to the Shotgun, the Rocket Launcher reloads one shot at a time. With a reload time of 0.67s per rocket it takes 1.5s to completely reload the Rocket Launcher from 0 rockets. The player may choose to fire or otherwise interrupt the reload process after loading just 1 rocket. This prevents the reload action from reloading both Rockets. The reload action will also only reload 1 rocket if there was already 1 rocket loaded, or if the player only has 1 more rocket ammo left to load.
