Rocket Launchers

Wieldable by Heavy Assault only, they are the main reason why armored or aircraft units should be aware of enemy infantry. They are the main defense of the infantry forces against armored and aircraft units. And let’s be honest, if you don’t care much for annoying ESF or lightning riding around, then you can relax and stick to the stock rocket launcher. It provides you with decent damage to vehicles if you can land a shot. Rocket drops down pretty quickly, after reaching a certain distance, so you wouldn’t want to fire it on long ranges since for that purpose you should buy a rocket launcher with a lock-on.

If you want to be feared amidst vehicle pilots, then you should check these rocket launchers out. All of them are from NS, which means they are a cross-faction and anyone can use them.

NS Decimator (All factions)

First, we’ll begin with the rocket launcher that doesn’t have a lock on but is a better variant of a stock rocket launcher. It has the greatest damage across all other rocket launchers, making it a great rocket launcher only if you can land shots, so better practice on stock first since it doesn’t have a lock on, and you’ll be paying 1000 certs or 699 DC for it. But the lack of lock-on is also its advantage since it can be used against infantry as well as armor.

NS-R3 Swarm (All factions)

Swarm provides you 3 fast-flying projectile shots upon the quickest lock on the target, making it hard if not impossible to evade at the very least one of them, which will do a good portion of the damage. It’s not as much as Annihilator does, but Swarm is much harder to avoid because of its fast-moving projectiles that work like seeker missiles and will hunt down its prey for a long time until it will evade them successfully (doubtful), or, which is more likely until it will hit them.

NS Annihilator (All factions)

Deemed as the best rocket launcher in the entire game. Why? Because it deals much more damage per rocket than Swarm does. It does have a great reload speed, which is a great benefit. It’s somewhat a perfect balance between Swarm and Decimator, when we speak of damage to vehicles only, of course, because Annihilator has a lock-on system, which locks on target just slightly slower than Swarm does. Overall, yes, that’s most favorite rocket launcher across the player base.
