Obtained from
The Rocket Launcher is a Hardmode, post-Plantera launcher that fires explosive rockets. The rockets fired by the Rocket Launcher are not affected by gravity and leave a trail of gray and orange smoke before exploding upon impact. Additionally, on the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, rockets deal 200% or double the weapon's base damage (110 damage) upon directly hitting a target. The Rocket Launcher has a 1/18 (5.56%) / 35/324 (10.8%) chance of being dropped by Skeleton Commandos in the post-Plantera Dungeon.
(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Unreal.
(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.
Notes
- All rockets deal splash damage that will harm the player if fired too close. They will not damage other players unless PvP is enabled.

Tips
- Using the Rocket Launcher with Rocket IIs, Rocket IVs, or Mini Nuke IIs(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), it can be used for efficient terraforming.
- When used with Rocket IVs or Mini Nuke IIs, the tunnels created by the Rocket Launcher are wide enough to completely cut off Corruption, Crimson, or Hallow. It should be noted, though, that thorny bushes can still grow in the remaining tunnel, spreading their respective biome over it.
