rpg-7 sucks?

I read on the wiki it only does 0.5 damage, like wtf that's less than a pistol. I'm on the Wild Island and there's a place where I can get an RPG, but at this point I don't think it's worth it at all?

I've shot them into a squad of mercs fighting a swarm of rats and it knocks down maybe 3 guys. Utterly pathetic weapon for this game but working as intended. The RP part of RPG is all about delivery method. Payload reminds the same.

I read that the rocket launcher can kill a pseudo giant / chimera in 2-4 shots, still much of course. There's also a midgame boss which is supposed to be easier with one rocket launcher hit Faust.

Thats because he is not your actual target, but the little bleu emiter on his belt, once thats destroyed its over.

I think the RPG is underpowered also, it should hit the target, detonate, and than shoot molten metal trough the target.
Think getting hit by it with out it even detonating would do far more damadge as it is now in the game.

That RPG is for killing Burer in the same location. You can find two rockets in the area, it will be enough for the fat boy. Then just trash the damaged RPG tube. You will aslo pick one at the Swamps to kill a group of mercs and get a trophy. The RPG is for fun in this game, you don't really need to save it for any special future battle. Just launch it and forget about it.

Or sell it, its worth a quite a little penny..
Though I wiped 2-3 Warda with 1 shot early game
