The '''Rocket Launcher''' or '''RPG''' is a [[Weapons|weapon]] that has appeared in every [[Grand Theft Auto]] game.


==Description==
== Description ==
The Rocket Launcher is an extremely powerful weapon, capable of destroying almost anything capable of being damaged. The chief advantage of this weapon is its destructive power and area effect (with its blast being capable of inflicting heavy damage several meters away from the point of impact). Although its rockets self-destruct after traveling a certain distance, its range remains impressive. The weapon's disadvantages are its slow aiming, and its potential to seriously injure or kill the operator if a rocket detonates at close range.

Line 18: Line 18:
The Rocket Launcher can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $15,000 plus $5,000 for each additional rocket. The Rocket Launcher cannot be bought from [[Little Jacob]] in GTA IV; however, the player can buy a Rocket Launcher from [[Terry Thorpe]] in [[The Lost and Damned]] or from [[Armando Torres]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] for [[Money|$]]10,000 plus $3,500 for each additional rocket. The player is limited to a carrying capacity of 8 rockets. This weapon is available in multiplayer via helicopters, which instantly give players a RPG and full RPG ammo upon entry. The rocket launcher's scarcity, late availability, low carrying capacity, and high price means that the player should use the weapon with discretion.
