Rocket Launcher
ItemThe rocket launcher is an improvised heavy weapon in Berserk that Rickert fires to break off Rakshas' pursuit as his party escapes Falconia, its warhead bursting bright enough to light the night sky over the city.
Overview
The rocket launcher is a potent long-range weapon and one of several fallback tools Rickert readies for dealing with Rakshas. It sees action during his group's flight from Falconia, where a single shot proves enough to stall the assassin.
Function
The launcher is a wooden tube sealed at one end with wrapped cloth, carried on the shoulder and set off by a trigger mounted on top. It holds only a lone rocket at a time and must be reloaded between shots. Its ammunition is a time-fused, arrow-shaped warhead that flies far and true, bursting into a fireball vivid enough to light the night over Falconia and forceful enough to halt Rakshas mid-chase.
