Rocket Launcher: Difference between revisions

In the [[GTA IV]] era, the rocket launcher again resembles the Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank missile launcher, however it is not fitted with the PGO-7 optical sight usually seen on the launchers. Unlike the GTA III Era, the player in GTA IV aims the rocket launcher from the over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing the player to move while aiming. Also, the rocket can be fired while in cover. Unlike rocket launchers in other GTA games, the player does not explicitly need a direct hit on a helicopter to destroy it as the force of a self-detonating rocket can force a helicopter pilot to crash.  

The Rocket Launcher can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $15,000 and each rocket will cost $5,000. The Rocket Launcher cannot be obtained from [[Little Jacob]] in GTA IV, however, in The Lost and Damned, Johnny can obtain a Rocket Launcher from [[Terry Thorpe|Terry's]] weapons van.  This weapon is available in multiplayer via helicopters, which instantly give players an RPG and full RPG ammo upon entry. This is the most powerful weapon in the game, able to take on cars, trucks, enemy players, motorcycles, and even the fearsome [[Annihilator]] gunship.
