The '''R.P.G.''' is a primary weapon for the [[Soldier]]. It is a ~~visually~~ greener version of the [[Rocket Launcher]], with a ~~check~~ pattern on its side and an oversized rocket sticking out of it.

The '''R.P.G.''' (rocket-propelled grenade) is an alternative primary weapon for the [[Soldier]]. Visually, it is a greener version of the [[Rocket Launcher]], with a checkerboard pattern on its side and an oversized rocket sticking out of it.

Compared to the [[Rocket Launcher]], it can only shoot one rocket per reload~~. However, the rockets are larger~~, slower~~, makes~~ more damage ~~and makes a bigger explosion~~. The rockets are also affected by gravity, and slowly ~~falls~~ to the ground ~~after being shot,~~ while ~~also~~ emitting a whistling sound. Unlike the Rocket Launcher, the R.P.G. does not have any damage falloff, and will deal full damage on a direct hit at any range.

Compared to the [[Rocket Launcher]], it can only shoot one rocket per reload, traveling 25% slower yet dealing 30% more damage. The rockets are also affected by gravity, and slowly fall to the ground in an arc while emitting a whistling sound. In addition, its rockets increase both explosive push force and self-damage against the user, with both attributes allowing for faster and higher rocket jumps than usual.

Unlike the Rocket Launcher, the R.P.G. does not have any damage falloff, and will deal full damage on a direct hit at any range.

== Strategy ==

The arcing properties of the R.P.G.'s rockets allows the Soldier to bombard enemy positions that are otherwise unreachable, including encampments behind walls and fortifications. This allows for arcing rockets from extremely far away, above and beyond the tall buildings of most maps. In addition, the increased damage and lack of damage falloff makes it viable to safely bombard a single position that enemies are grouped up in, such as [[Engineer]] nests, capture points, narrow hallways, and wherever the [[VIP]] happens to be.

== Trivia ==

* The appearance of the R.P.G. is based on Team Fortress 2's ~~beta~~ [[~~Rocket Launcher~~]] ~~appearance. However~~, a ~~common misconception is that the beta Rocket Launcher also shot one rocket per reload~~. ~~This~~ was ~~not~~ the ~~case~~.

* The appearance of the R.P.G. is based on concept art for ''Team Fortress 2'''s Rocket Launcher. The pre-[[3.0.0]] model in ''Team Fortress 2 Classified'' is near-identical with a green hue, whilst the current model is bulkier with a hand guard and darker green hue.

* ~~Coincidentally~~, the ~~way~~ the ~~Rocket arcs~~ and ~~whistles is similar to the Rockets seen at the start~~ of ~~Meet~~ the ~~Medic~~.

* The "chest thump" taunt was taken from live ''TF2'''s taunt for the Direct Hit and Beggar's Bazooka.

* Prior to the [[3.0.0]] update, the description quote was: ''"It's a wonderful sight to behold when they're all soaring through the skies... and not towards your general direction."''
