Tips
As a Soldier…
- …you can rocket jump to great heights by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket at the ground.
- …aim rockets at enemy's feet to ensure they can't avoid the explosion damage.
- …make sure you keep your rocket launcher loaded. Hit R to reload it at any time.
- …your rockets have strong knock back. Use this to jostle enemies or knock them airborne.
- …use your shotgun to conserve rockets and avoid waiting for your rocket launcher to reload in the middle of combat.
- …the Gunboats greatly reduce health loss from rocket jumps. Use them when positioning and mobility are especially important.
- …your RPG's rockets can shoot over cover. Be sure to aim your rockets carefully.
