This is the shoulder-mounted guided-missile weapon that everyone loves to use against distant large enemies or groups of enemies. You can only have three rockets with you at one time, but each one does as much damage as a crossbow bolt, and you can hit several enemies with one shot. This makes RPG shots the best way to take down large, tightly clustered groups of enemies (especially soldiers) from a distance. Also, some large enemy assault vehicles like gunships are vulnerable only to RPG rockets.
Press the Primary Fire key to fire a rocket and then move the targeting crosshairs so that the rocket stays with its target as it moves. Love those guided missiles! (Only trouble is, the Secondary Fire key doesn't toggle the laser guidance system on and off like in the old game, which can occasionally be inconvenient.)
TIP: Even though you can't fire a rocket while using the HEV suit's zoom feature, you can use zoom right after a rocket is fired to help you guide it to a distant target.
