Functionality

The Rocket Drill's main function is to allow the player to fly through the air. The Rocket Drill deals 80 damage and knock enemies back when hit when landing. The Rocket can also destroy buildings and structures by rocketing through them.
A small meter next to the reticle will represent how much fuel is left. Once that meter is depleted, the Rocket Drill will stop working until the meter is slowly filled up again.
The Rocket Drill can also spin and damage any enemy withing a short range.
Strategy
Strategy[]

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Ramming with the Rocket Drill deals much more damage to opponents than drilling, while also allowing you to fly, escaping risky engagements.
- Drilling an Alpha Bank vault's weak spots can speed up a Heist.
- When used to break through a wall, quickly pull out your shotgun to surprise your opponent.
Counters[]
- The Rocket Drill can leave an opponent wielding it vulnerable when in the air, so carrying a red dot Assault Rifle of sorts and using it to shoot the opponent out of the air can be beneficial.
Obtaining
Obtaining[]
- Can be bought in Backwoods Black Market for
600 Bars or acquired from Heist Bags.
