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.

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