In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the rocket launcher again resembles the Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank grenade launcher; however, it is not fitted with the PGO-7 optical sight usually seen on the launchers. Unlike previous games where the player was forced into a stationary first-person perspective, the player now aims the rocket launcher from the over-the-shoulder perspective, allowing the player to strafe while aiming; the rocket launcher can also be fired while behind cover. The rocket can be deflected if the tip of the rocket does not hit a solid object. The rocket self-detonates when it reaches its maximum range. This is the most powerful weapon in the game, destroying any target with a direct hit and causing heavy causalities with splash damage. The player does not need a direct hit on the fuselage of a helicopter to destroy it; the force of a detonating rocket can cause the pilot to lose control and crash. | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the rocket launcher again resembles the Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank grenade launcher; however, it is not fitted with the PGO-7 optical sight usually seen on the launchers.

The RPG in GTA IV & EFLC is the only weapon with moving models (the rocket and the empty launcher). | ||
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 $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. | The Rocket Launcher can be purchased at the back-alley gun shops for $15,000 plus $5,000 for each additional rocket.
