Who do you guys think will get the rocket launcher??
No one. Javelin is a speculated merc but right now it’s just an unused asset like the throwing knives.
oh i didnt know that :o sounds intresting but arent the category of mercs fille out? so will they add more to the existing categories?
i tried it and it didnt work lol and the way the maps are designed i dont think they would want that in the game
Not in the Unreal Engine. If they wanted to add in rocket jumping, it would have to be hard coded in, it wouldn’t be a passive feature.
You can pseudo explosive jump in this game, especially with Fragger’s nades, but it’s not practical, just fun to look at.
Honestly, I don’t think the rocket launcher has much of a place in DB. It’ll be really point and click in a game where even explosives take time to master. Maybe as an EV tool or to kill generators, but…meh.
Of course I’m sure they’re ways to make work, but at face value I’m skeptical. I don’t think it would add anything to the game that isn’t already there and less frustrating to get wrekt by. I can’t imagine a point and click Fragger nade that can fly accross the map and doesn’t require cooking. Not saying that specifically will be the case, but it IS an RPG. Having a rocket launcher like Soldier’s would just feel really weird here.

I figure it’d be little more than a direct fire version of Nader’s grenades, probably weaker since they’ll explode on impact (maybe larger AoE?). But, yeah, it doesn’t really add anything that’s not already in the game. It would just be another Fragger/Nader type merc. One of the reasons I think it’ll only remain a speculated merc.
i think it would be great for clearing out te first planting area in underground. rocket jumping doesent reallly seem to fir this game though.
Doesn’t exist. Purely speculative merc hinted by the unused asset. I think they talked about them in a stream once but that was probably some time ago.
