Rocket launchers are terran-portable weapons, in use since at least the Guild Wars.

Overview

Rocket launchers have low recoil and unleash a large backblast. The rockets themselves are heat-seeking and guided. Shoulder-mounted rocket launchers are capable of targeting aircraft such as low-flying dropships. Single-shot rocket launchers also exist.

The Confederate Marine Corps considered rocket launchers to be squad weapons. Some soldiers, such as Confederate marine Private Connor Ward, used four-tube rocket launchers (Ward used his in pairs). The rockets were heavy, preventing marines from carrying their own reloads.

By the beginning of the Brood War, terran forces were sometimes using rocket launchers attached to C-14 rifles.

Notes

In The Art of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, concept art exists for marines with shoulder-mounted rocket launchers in StarCraft II. The option is available to marines in the StarCraft Tabletop Miniatures Game.
