Description:

This mod adds a new secondary Amalgamation specialization built entirely around the awesome (but criminally underused) rocket launcher secondary weapon.

What is it?

There’s a ton of great Amalgamation specs out there, but rocket launchers always felt a little under-represented. By default you only have the Heavy tertiary spec using them, but picking one over a LW2 gauntlet locks you out of all the cool (or hot, I suppose) fire skills. Not great!

The whole situation is complicated further by a lack of abilities that even work with the weapon, leaving few options for new specs. Thankfully, Alpha115 put out an excellent Rocketeer class with a bunch of unique rocket-focused abilities. And, as it turns out, they work great in spec form as well!

How does it play?

Rockets are extremely powerful, but have limited uses and impair mobility. The Rocketeer specialization allows you to get and carry more, move further and expend less effort using them.

A hefty melee attack (with multiple potential upgrades!) and some solid gunplay abilities round out the spec, allowing the Rocketeer to remain in the fight even when the big booms run out.

How balanced is it?

Expect the spec to be quite strong. Some of the original mod’s perks were shuffled around to make progression a bit slower, but they are still powerful in their own right.
