The rocket launchers are primarily designed as anti-vehicle weapons , but they can also be effective in tearing apart enemy cover, including walls and even entire buildings. In multiplayer , only engineers can carry the rocket launcher, occupying the kit’s gadget slot.
Tip
When a vehicle is hit with a tracer dart, red brackets appear around it on the minimap, visible to all engineer teammates. Aim at the traced vehicle through the launcher’s scope to reveal a red bracket icon superimposed over the target. Hold your aim steady for a few seconds until the bracket icon becomes a solid red box.
A lock is achieved when a set of white numbers appears below the red box, indicating the distance (in meters) to the target. Once fired, the rocket will home in on the traced vehicle, even if the vehicle moves. But the rocket cannot maneuver around cover such as buildings, so you still need to have a fairly clear path to the target to score a hit.
RPG7
Magazine Capacity: 1
Fire Mode: Single Shot
MP Unlock: Engineer Kit Start
Performance Summary:
Low Accuracy
Medium Range
Medium Damage
Russian 85mm rocket propelled grenade launcher used primarily against armor and fortifications. It is compatible with tracer dart aiming systems to increase first round hit probability.
Field Notes
The RPG7 is the most basic of rocket launchers, designed primarily to take out vehicles . It’s most effective at close to intermediate ranges, but can also be accurate at long ranges when a tracer dart is active. The rocket has a tendency to lose altitude over distance, so if targeting a vehicle at long range without the assistance of a tracer dart, aim high to compensate for range.
M2CG
Magazine Capacity: 1
Fire Mode: Single Shot
MP Unlock: 8,700 Engineer Score
Performance Summary:
Medium Accuracy
Medium Range
Medium Damage
Swedish-designed 84mm man-portable recoilless rifle. Ideal for “bunker busting” and anti-personnel applications, the M2CG is less suited against armor where other, more modern weapon systems excel. It also is tracer dart ready for increased first hit accuracy.
Field Notes
The M2CG fires a higher velocity rocket than the RPG7, allowing for greater accuracy at long range. However, its high explosive warhead is less effective against tanks and other armored vehicles . The rocket explodes outward, sending shrapnel in all directions, making it a decent anti-personnel weapon. But it can still do significant damage to vehicles . When engaging tanks, try to hit their rear armor to maximize damage.
M136
Magazine Capacity: 1
Fire Mode: Single Shot
MP Unlock: 18,600 Engineer Score
Performance Summary:
High Accuracy
Medium Range
Medium Damage
Swedish-made disposable 84mm anti-tank missile that is well balanced at neutralizing armor and fortified positions. It has been modified with a guidance tracking system that assists the warhead in homing in on the target engaged. It is not capable of locking on to tracer darts.
Field Notes
Although the M136’s missile can’t lock on to tracer darts, this weapon has a guidance system of its own. Take aim at an enemy vehicle and fire. Continue tracking your prey after firing, guiding the missile into the target. The missile is most effective against heavy vehicles and fortified structures.
