Looming grimly in the skies, the Rocketeer is a large, heavily-armored, long range artillery machine. It dominates open spaces with its powerful missile launchers. It can target Raiders from afar, creating hazardous zones that force Raiders to stay on the move or seek cover.

ARC seems to station Rocketeers in key areas; guarding high-threat locations, or just roaming and making life miserable for Raiders. They are able to eliminate fortified human resistance points in otherwise hard-to-reach locations.

Like the Wasp and the Hornet, it sports thrusters to stay airborne. While these thrusters are technically weak spots, they are large and take a significant amount of firepower to destroy.

Attack

Aims 4 yellow lasers that once lined up turns red a moment before firing 1-4 missiles. Each missile dealing a significant amount of damage and can down a Raider in as little as two hits.

Combat Tips

The Rocketeer is a deadly ARC that when engaged without sufficient cover will quickly end in your demise. Before fighting seek shelter in buildings or behind substantial cover. Aim for the thrusters while focusing on two in particular.

Similar to other flying ARC, destroying two of its thrusters will cause it to fall towards the ground. When falling from a high enough height it can be instantly destroyed by its own momentum. Any flying ARC that is stuck on the ground long enough will burst into flames.

It is possible to weaponize a Lure Grenade when fighting a Rocketeer as well as another ARC simultaneously - sticking the grenade to another ARC will cause the rocketeer to attack and damage that ARC.

When the Rocketeer's laser disappears (signaling a full lock-on), do one of the following to dodge its attack:

Dodge Roll
Get behind cover

Loot

Main debris loot -

Small debris loot -

Achievement Tips

Similar to other flying ARC, it is possible to ride on top of a Rocketeer. This can be done directly with the Snap Hook or careful positioning. Alternatively, stunning the Rocketeer with a Showstopper or Hornet Driver will cause it to fall to the ground, allowing for any Raider to easily climb on. Either way, you can then damage the Rocketeer with any weapon (including melee). Dealing 50 damage to any enemy while on top of a Rocketeer will also grant the Death From Above achievement.
