- For the combo weapon, see Rocket Launcher.
The rocket launcher is a weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is awarded after completing the mission World's Most Dangerous Trick. This unique Reed Wallbeck model comes with 100 rockets, compared to the 75 rockets that come with the weapon's combo weapon variant.
They player can shoot fireworks at enemies at a relatively fast rate, clearing hordes of zombies with a short burst. Getting caught in an explosion causes the player to drop the weapon.
The rocket launcher has a small advantage over most other heavy weapons in that it has no motor that requires starting before it can be used; the player can simply pick it up and start firing.
