Scoped Rocket Launcher
The Scoped Rocket Launcher is the last of the rocket launcher weapons, and unfortunately it isn't any better than the Missile Launcher, which is the best of the rocket launcher weapons, but still isn't very good. Based on that, you can tell that the Scoped Rocket Launcher is a bad weapon and is not a worthy investment of your 150,000 Cash.
The weapon packs the same damage output as the Bazooka and Missile Launcher, which means each shot nearly KOs the player, but misses out by a fraction. Due to the weapon's rocket's low travel speed, they can run from each shot, which makes landing one accurate shot is a chore at long range. Landing the two needed to KO is even more challenging, and to make matters worse, there's only three shots in a clip before you have to undergo one of the longest reload times in the entire game. You'll usually only get one kill with three shots assuming your target has full health and there are no double kills, which means you'll spend a very long time reloading with this weapon. It's not as bad as Bazooka which has one shot in a clip, but it's still very lacking and is the main reason you'll never see this weapon in use. |

To put the nail in the coffin for this weapon, there's the Missile Launcher, which is nearly identical to this weapon except with one more shot in the clip, potentially allowing for two kills per round rather than one (which is what you'll often get with this weapon). While the Scoped Rocket Launcher does has slightly better agility, it's not a good enough reason to forfeit an extra shot to use. Even the Missile Launcher itself is outclassed by Thumper, Howitzer, Dragon's Breath Cannon etc., which really adds to this weapon's uselessness.
