The Scoped Rocket Launcher is the 26th weapon available for purchase, costs 150,000 , and is unlocked at level 41. It boasts high Damage, moderate Range and Agility, and low Accuracy. It can hold three rockets.
Strategy
The Scoped Rocket Launcher has improved slightly from its weaker counterpart (Bazooka). It is able to hold 3 rockets instead of 1, has a scope and has more Agility than its single missile counterpart. Because this weapon has a scope, you are able to get accurate shots at longer ranges, especially when trying to shoot into small gaps.
Warning: the reloading time for this weapon is REALLY long (longer than the Bazooka's reload speed), and you might want to reload ONLY when there is no one around (this is similar to the Missile Launcher and the Howitzer Gun).
