[Music]
it’s time to break out the big guns
welcome to watchmojo.com and J we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
rocket launchers and video games for
this list we’re looking at any in-game
weapons that fire some sort of explosive
yet a single traditional rocket or a
barrage of nukes every launcher was
considered
number ten yeah our horn destiny
the weapons so powerful and had to be
nerfed known as Gorn or the jelly horn
the Yeller horn is a super rare exotic
weapon found in Destiny not only does
this weapon fire projectiles that split
into cluster bombs for secondary
explosions those cluster bombs come with
a homing capability so while that damage
is dealt directly to one target this is
hands-down the most effective weapon for
taking on high-level raid bosses as it
does 30% more damage than even the
second-best launcher with its sleek
design and wolf head ornaments it’s
easily become the most iconic destiny
weapon the most recent update rise of
iron was even marketed with its return
as the central focus preorder Destiny’s
rise of iron and get the iron
Gjallarhorn number 9 try rocket launcher
jet force Gemini tired of fly swatters
and bug sprays why not get rid of those
creepy crawlers with a one-handed rocket
launcher capable of demolishing a whole
swarm in a single shot
introducing the Tri rocket launcher by
far the most powerful weapon in a game
this triple punch packing launcher fires
three spiraling missiles that at once
explode on impact
dealing high damage on drones bosses and
players alike this is not a toy to be
used lightly
the try rocket launcher lives up to its
reputation as a boss killer though
leading minds aren’t the plugboard
himself
squashed on the floor ready to be balled
up on a tissue no need for an
exterminator number 8 rocket launcher
Unreal Tournament
should I blow up that guy with six
Rockets or six grenades
decisions decisions one of the most beer
inducing weapons in Unreal Tournament is
the glorious rocket launcher not only
can this baby fire up to six Rockets at
once but it also has a secondary fire
boat that can lob six grenades over
walls around corners and behind the
player in a high-speed chase and did I
mention that it’s also equipped with a
lock-on feature this is an all-purpose
launcher that is perfect for short and
long range encounters whether in tight
or open spaces it offers a fast array of
choices for the player while offering
the same result serious ass-kickin
number 7 micro missile launcher doom
[Music]
when hell’s army comes knocking on your
door there’s only one polite way to
answer with guns duh technically a
modification for the heavy assault rifle
the micro missile launcher fires
fast-paced projectiles that are rough
into a satisfying ball of fire all over
those evil imps and possessed the weapon
may not deal the most damage but its
weapon mastery challenge offers the
player one of the most effective final
weapon upgrades in the game bottomless
missiles that’s right you fire as many
devastating missiles as you want with no
need to reload what better way to give
those demons hell number 6 Devastator
Duke Nukem 3d Duke may always run out of
gum but he’s never in short supply of
some ass-kicking the Devastator is a
double-barreled rocket launcher that
fires an onslaught of Stinger missiles
at almost the same rate of fire as a
machine gun the only dual wielded weapon
in the game at least we think it is this
game is old it’s hard to tell this puppy
is so hardcore that Duke needs to use
both hands to grip it it can rip through
assault commanders as well as octa
brains and even make that cycloid
emperor in the stadium a piece of cake
come get some number 5 slayer perfect
dark
finally an answer to the age-old
question is manually steering a rocket
into the basement alien fun the answer
is a resounding yes created by aliens
the Slayer is your average
run-of-the-mill rocket launcher however
its secondary fire mode fly-by-wire is a
bit more unique it allows the player to
take the perspective of the projectile
itself to steer it all around the map
and sometimes off it until finally
exploding on the desired target
the rocket is a bit hard to maneuver but
some players are so good they can drive
the missile through out-of-bounds areas
to attack enemies in separate sections
of the map ultra rare and ultra
effective this weapon is worth defined
[Music]
number four rocket launcher quake is
there anything more satisfying than
watching an enemy gived by your rocket I
don’t think so
giving by the way is a short way of
saying when an enemy erupts into a
bloody mess and that’s often the result
of the iconic and revolutionary quake
rocket launcher this weapon takes out
most enemies in one hit while also
providing heavy splash damage that will
throw the player backwards thus the
ultimate legacy of this launcher is
popularizing the rocket jumping
technique found in other shooters like
Halo and Team Fortress 2 much later due
to the overpowering amount of
inspiration provided valve added quakes
rocket launcher as a useable item in
Team Fortress 2
number three hecu RPG half-life series
the third installment may be caught in a
perpetual production cycle vortex but at
least we can all look back on the
weapons that made the first two so great
this RPG stands amongst the finest of
those weapons dealing out massive
destruction and incinerating vehicles
and single shots makes this launcher
super effective but what really makes it
stand out is its laser-guided aiming
system players are able to
course-correct Rockets after they’ve
been fired by aiming the laser in a
different direction providing great
opportunities for trick shots
you can even redirect enemy’s rockets
back towards them with this helpful
laser saving ammo wasn’t ever so
enjoyable dr. Gordon Freeman you’re a
smart cookie number 2 rhino Ratchet and
Clank series fiercely devastating an
expensive weapon that no Lombax should
ever leave home without serving as an
abbreviation for Ripa a new one the
original Rhino fired 7 homing missiles
simultaneously providing an explosion
that would clear out the whole screen of
enemies
due to its fanatical devotion the weapon
has been updated in nearly every
incarnation of the series other versions
include the ability to disintegrate
enemies the playing of the glorious
melody of the 1812 overture as you fire
and three imagining of the weapon as a
giant mech suit whether it be a shady
salesman or a string of eden’ blueprints
the Rhino is always a reward that’s well
worth the risk
rhinos yours hang on while I grab my
toolkit before we unveil our topic here
a few honorable mentions it’s a rocket
launcher Gatling gun
number one fat man fallout series
you know what a post-apocalyptic world
plagued by radiation needs the most for
radiation
there’s no puny missiles or rockets for
this hobbled together catapult this
launcher only hurls miniature tactical
nukes putting the cause of the
apocalypse at the fingertips of the
player the fat man takes out behemoths
and deaf paws in an instant and although
it can be hard to find your enemy’s
limbs to loot afterwards the sight of
that beautiful mushroom cloud is always
worth it but if one nuclear blast isn’t
enough you can always get the upgraded
experimental nerve to launch eight mini
nukes at once war never changes and
watching a super mutant take a nuke to
the face in bats never stops being fun
