The **RPEGG**, sometimes known as the **Rocket Launcher** as well as the **Eggsploder**, is the weapon class based on an RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade). It is the only rocket launcher in the game and has the lowest storage capacity (3 ammo storage slots and shoots 1 bullet at a time) . When aiming, the gun uses a scope to zoom in, the same as the Crackshot and semi-automatic rifle scopes, but with the normal level of zoom. Also, RPEGG has a green square aim, this aim will be only change to red when the distance between you and your opponent or the wall is too short.

The RPEGG's rocket has very high splash and damage. It can blow up an opponent (or multiple opponents) with a single explosive shot. If aimed properly, and it connects with the egg cleanly, it can kill an opponent even if that player has 100 HP and 100 shield HP remaining. When firing, the player finds and calibrates the target with a box-shaped target. If the box is red, the target cannot be hit and the rocket will fire but not explode and will do ten damage. If it is green, it is a far enough distance and can fire (Sometimes if it’s very close to red it won’t fire). If the rocket lands on an opponent unexploded it will deal 10 damage. Once the rocket is fired, the rocket begins to exhaust fire and smoke trails behind. Each bullet carton picks up 1 bullet.

The **RPEGG** was added into the game in November of 2018 as the fourth weapon class. At first, you did not have to be a certain distance from your target to have the rocket explode, meaning that you could kill yourself if you weren't careful. Later in the same month, the class was rebalanced — the bullet capacity was updated to a maximum storage of 3 rockets, and a newly updated scope was implemented. For the bullet to actually explode the opponent needs to be a certain distance away from you. Despite this, it is still possible to kill yourself with the RPEGG by being at low health (<10) and running at a wall and shooting. Each ammo box only contains 1 rocket. Weapon skins don't alter a players performance in any way.

## Gameplay Tips

* The RPEGG specializes in taking out groups of people from a distance. It also has the ability to deal damage around corners and clear passages, therefore making it powerful in large indoor areas like tunnels. Its major drawback is its remarkably insufficient close quarters' abilities, therefore making the Cluck 9mm and possibly the Whisk important to learn before using the RPEGG.
* Similar to the Crackshot, The RPEGG is best used on large maps with far ranges. The rockets speed is not very fast as it seems though so your opponent will have some time to dodge. But if you pre-fire with careful aim and time it properly, you can kill anybody across a map. If your target has the high ground or a wall behind them, then try to make the bullet explode instead of flying outside of the map. If you bullets lands on the floor close enough it will at least do some damage instead of none if you were to shoot your rocket out of the map.
* The RPEGG may become first-priority targets for experienced enemies, as they know the potential danger of a player that wields the RPEGG. RPEGGs may face short-range gunners constantly going after them. Try to avoid face-to-face combat as much as possible, make sure to not stay in one area for too long, and try to hide from others' views as much as possible, to prevent snipers from aiming at you, or short-range gunners from running after you.
* This gun makes a player very vulnerable to short-range guns such as the Whipper and the Scrambler since it cannot be used at short range. In such a situation, the best option to use is the secondary pistol or run to a ladder and drop a grenade to escape.
* A good strategy for the RPEGG to provide great support for their team or to gain kills is shooting at faraway, crowded enemies. In FFA, if you spot two or more brawling enemies, especially when both/all of them are somewhat damaged, shoot at their general direction, and you will likely get one or more kills from it. In Teams Mode, Captula the Spatula, or King of the Coop, shooting at a crowd of enemy team members will produce a similar effect. Even if you don't get kills from it, you will still provide great support for your team in sustaining the top of the leaderboard.
* It is very easy to amass a large killstreak and boost your KDR with this gun if you are skilled and evasive enough on KOTC maps, though your killstreak will reset when a round ends and could end your high killstreak.
* Try not to go for direct hits. Even if you are an experienced RPG player, it is very difficult to hit a direct hit on someone because of how slow the projectile speed is. A better way to kill someone is to aim at their surroundings, preferably a wall or the ground under them using the splash damage of the gun.
* If someone is very close to you when you are wielding the RPEGG, you can try to go around a corner and shoot the wall that the enemy will pass you through. Though the shot won't be lethal, it will cause a lot of damage to be done and will make it much easier to finish them off with your secondary weapons.
* The RPEGG thrives in midrange combat. Consistency is key with the RPEGG, as one unsuccessful shot could mean dying while using it, because of its slow reload speed. With the RPEGG's slow projectile speed and high damage, using it in midrange situations lessens the risk of missing a shot, while still allowing it to do lethal damage.

## Trivia

* Before Version 0.15.4, mid-November 2018, the scope of the RPEGG was identical to that of a CSG-1's and players were allowed to shoot while moving. This was soon patched due to being overpowered.
* Before Version 0.25.5 (November 2019), when classes and guns were distinct from each other, the RPEGG class was referred to as "Eggsploder" in the menu, and "RPEGG" only when it was being used in-game.
* In theory, you can kill yourself with this gun if you shoot it from a high place and jump on the rocket while it is flying. Maps with a high tower can be good for this.
* You are able to actively kill yourself by being on low health (<10) and shooting and running at the wall.
* It is not recommended for beginners to use this gun as it is hard to use. You need good timing and speed and experience in order to use this gun effectively, due to its low amount of bullet storage units and long reload time.
