Tips

 * Focus near the feet for a certain chance of hitting your target. Use the neighboring range.
 * Use this weapon to severely damage heavily armored players and finish them off with ease.
 * Always focus on the target when using this weapon.
 * Use it in medium range, so you can see where the missiles are going.
 * Spam the weapon, to compensate its average damage.
 * Useful for encountering Judge users.
 * It is an ideal weapon to hit enemy armor hard.

Counters

 * Use a Sniper to pick the user off.
 * If the you are targeted, move away from the rocket and try to steer tightly around objects, this way, there will be a chance for the rocket to hit an object, instead of you.
 * Avoid being in groups with friendly targets. As single rocket can lead into devastating damage or unexpected deaths.
 * After the opponent fires, use an automatic weapon, like the Hellraiser, to easily headshot the opponent until they die.

Trivia

 * This was a new rentable weapon added in update 9.4.0. alongside the Exterminator.
 * It seems to be a hybrid between the real life FIM-92 Stinger SAM Missile Launcher, and the SMAW Rocket Launcher, due to it having an attachable launch tube in the back.
 * Despite being used to take down aircraft, it is used like a regular missile launcher and targets players instead. (Even more unusual is that in real life. the Stinger would need a heat signature to lock on to an enemy aircraft while the human body's heat would be low enough to allow the missile to just not lock on)
 * Also it holds 6 missiles, even though the real life version only holds 1 missile.
 * This weapon and its upgrades are the only weapons that have the manual guidance function.
 * It was not rentable for iOS.
 * As of the 12.5.0 update, it was removed from the Lucky Chest.
 * It has the counterpart weapon, which is the Judge.
 * It has the Combat Level of 16.
 * Its efficiency was buffed from 25 to 34 in 13.5.0 update.
