The Rocket Launcher is a weapon in POSTAL 2.

Description[]

The manual description:

The Rocket Launcher is another weapon that need not hit the target directly to have an effect – it imparts a considerable amount of damage when the rocket explodes. Keep in mind that this weapon requires time to fuel before firing. The longer you fuel the rocket (by holding down primary fire) the farther it will be able to travel. If a rocket runs out of fuel during flight, it will fall to the ground and detonate on impact. If you fuel a rocket completely, as indicated by the fuel meter, you will hear a confirmation that “seeking mode” is engaged. The rocket will “lock on” to whatever target the crosshairs are over when the fire key is released and will tirelessly attempt to hunt down that target. Secondary fire is similar to primary fire except it allows you to fully fuel a rocket without engaging seeking mode. Such a rocket will travel extremely far before running out of fuel

The rocket launcher is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and therefore, it is a rare sight until Thursday, in which Krotchy and some National Guard soldiers carry one. If the fire key is held in long enough, it will charge up and then fire a heat-seeking rocket at the victim, and the Postal Dude will do the Rock Sign before firing, just so you can see how badass he is. It also has a secondary fire, that launches a standard rocket that explodes on contact with surfaces.

Enhanced Mode[]

Rockets launched are now manually controlled via the Rocket Cameras.

Trivia[]

  • With good timing, it is possible to kick a fired rocket without it exploding.
  • The Rocket Launcher is modeled after the Swedish unguided rocket launcher AT-4 HS.
  • This is quite possibly the most annoying weapon when it comes to fighting NPCs. Most NPCs with it will usually spam heat rockets at 6x the speed you can.
  • The Rocket Launcher's "seeking mode" confirmation voice is Zarvox from the macOS Text-To-Speech.
  • Upon equipping during a firefight with enemies, enemies may gag ("Eugh!") or shout ("SHIT!") in horror.
