📋 About This Mod
works with the 1. 9 patch
Adds single-shot, unguided Rocket Launcher weapons. Cheap, lightweight and high-damage but can only be fired once per battle.
Rocket Launchers have the same range and damage-per-missile as SRMs but come in racks of 10, 15 or 20, plus a rare 40 version. They have internal ammunition, like a flamer, so do not require ammo bins. Includes + variants with bonus damage or crit chance.
RLs can be bought in Chemicals stores and the black market, as well as from the Liao faction quartermaster.
Requirements
None. Works with the default mod loader.
(should also work with ModTek, though I haven't tested it)
None. Hopefully.
These are appended to existing itemCollections without overwriting anything, so you should be able to mix and match with any other mods you like.

Handy Rocket Launchers adds three single-shot, unguided rocket launchers (RL10, RL15, RL20) plus variants to the game. These weapons are cheap, lightweight, and deal high damage but can only be fired once per battle. A niche mod for players seeking a powerful one-shot option.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- High damage per shot makes these launchers a devastating opening strike.
- Lightweight and cheap, so they won't weigh down your inventory or break the bank.
- Small but dedicated following (58 endorsements) suggests it works as advertised.
⚠️ Cons
- Single-shot limitation means you're left vulnerable after firing—no backup shots.
- Last updated in January 2020, so compatibility with the latest game version is uncertain.
- No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
For players who want a powerful, one-shot weapon to alpha-strike tough enemies or bosses. If you prefer sustained fire or reload mechanics, this mod isn't for you. It's a simple, no-frills addition for those who like high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since these launchers are single-shot, save them for high-value targets rather than wasting them on trash mobs.
- Check if the mod requires a specific game version or DLC—if so, ensure you have it installed before adding the files.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other weapon mods.
