Pumpkin Launcher/Chapter 6

Functionality[]

Pumpkin Launcher shoots out a single large, slow-moving projectile. When this projectile comes in contact with a surface, or stays in the air long enough, it detonates, dealing high amounts of explosive damage. It damages the player who shot it if they're too close, alongside enemies. Rockets deal more damage to structures than they do to players. It is impossible to land headshots with this weapon. Rockets are not affected by gravity and won't drop if they go too far.

The Pumpkin Launcher fires slow-moving projectiles that have no damage falloff. It has First Shot Accuracy enabled, though this feature is mostly irrelevant due to it being a Rocket Launcher.

The Pumpkin Launcher can reload whilst being aimed.

Weapon Changes[]

Strategy Guide[]

• You can shoot a Rocket under a player and allow them to ride it. This can be used to quickly transport a player to an area, such as out of the Storm.
• Keep your distance from an enemy when shooting a rocket, if you go too close, the rocket may also eliminate you along with the enemy player.
• Players can grapple onto a rocket (Creative doesn't seem to let you do it, but attempting to do so in the BR map in Creative was possible).
• Make sure to lead your shots in front of an enemy when using the Pumpkin Launcher, as the Rocket travels very slowly, so not leading your shots can lead to an opponent just walking away from it, and is very punishing.

Counters[]

• In modes with Builds enabled, the Armored Wall can be very effective at countering , due to the sheer amount of health it has.
• In Zero Build, the Port-A-Bunker can also be effective, due to how much cover it creates.
• Keeping within close range can be beneficial when engaging with an opponent wielding a Pumpkin Launcher can be effective, as the opponent cannot fire back without risking taking damage from their own Rocket.
