Where to Find Rocket Launcher

Rocket Launcher is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Rocket Launcher

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 10000 to 14000, a 1.4x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Ammunition Rocket Launcher Uses

Rocket Launcher fires Rocket Ammo, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Plasma Cannon matches it exactly at 10,000 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Meteor Launcher at 10,500; below it is Guided Missile Launcher at 8,850.
