Compared to the [[Rocket Launcher]], it can only shoot one rocket per reload, traveling 25% slower yet dealing 30% more damage. The damage rampup is capped at 125%, down from 150%, although still dealing more damage than the Rocket Launcher. 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. | Compared to the [[Rocket Launcher]], it can only shoot one rocket per reload, traveling 25% slower yet dealing 30% more damage.

The arcing properties of the R.P.G.'s rockets allows the user 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. | |||
