Bazooka
Unfortunately, the first rocket launcher weapon in Respawnables is really bad. Weapons that shoot one round generally don't require a second round to finish the player (examples include Hunter Rifle, Thumper, etc.), but the Bazooka is very different. One shot does not KO players unless they're weakened, which is an absolutely devastating flaw that prevents it from having any use over Missile Launcher, the better rocket launcher weapon. The reload time lasts a few seconds, which is extremely long. Players could very easily kill you in this time.
Even as a newbie, this weapon's uses are limited. It's worse than most of the other weapons available at the time the weapon is unlocked, and weapons like Missile Launcher and Scoped Rocket Launcher are better at higher levels. Its only use could be finishing a group of weakened players with its decent splash damage, but again, there are weapons that are better at this. The best way to attempt to get kills with this weapon is to camp and pick off weakened players or hit a player twice if you can manage it. Countering it is as simple as evading the shot and firing back; even if you're hit by it, you'll survive it if you're at full health. |

TL; DR
There isn't much this weapon does well at all. I have no idea whatsoever why I see level 30+ players still using this weapon, it's just plain bad.
