Information

The Direct Hit is the unlockable primary weapon available for the Soldier. The rockets fired by the Direct Hit travel at a rate of 1960 Hammer Units per second, 80% faster than rockets fired by the Rocket launcher. Additionally, the rockets inflict 25% more damage on their target, compared to conventional rockets. For precision marksmen, the Direct Hit also scores mini-crits on targets that are sent airborne by an explosion, adding additional damage and negating damage fall-off.

The splash area of the Direct Hit's shots are reduced to 30% of the standard Rocket Launcher's. The radius of this new 'splash zone' is roughly 40 Hammer units, or the width of an operational Teleporter.

The Direct Hit deals 25% more damage than the standard Rocket Launcher and inflicts mini-crits on targets that are sent airborne by an explosion. The exact figures are unknown.

Trivia

• There are 3 unused sounds for the Direct Hit's taunt in the game files. Why they are not in-game is unknown.
• Even though the Direct Hit has a scope, it cannot be used.
• The Direct Hit was first glimpsed on day 4 of the War update in two different locations. Its muzzle is visible behind Saxton Hale on Page 10 of the comic (though its proportions are slightly distorted), and it is visible on the engineer's chalkboard on the newspaper.
