When is the best time to use the RPG on professional?
I'm on chapter 12 right now just before midget boss and still have rpg in reserve, what would be the best use?

Depends on how many ptas you have.

If you have enough to use it on salazar and then for the final boss you can just use it for both.
It might be a waste for salazar if you have a golden egg and don't have the money for another RPG.

Probably saddler

I mean Verdugo is skippable and Salazar is eggable, it leaves Krauser and Saddler. Both are probably nightmares on pro, I'm still in the castle so not sure which one i'll RPG

Yeah I'll use it on salazar didn't think about egging him, have enough money for one for final boss but didn't see another rpg on the merchant, does he let you buy another once you've used your one?

Saddler

I like killing every single boss, so use it on Dugo. Freeze his bum and Boom

There's only 2 bosses it's worth using on. And that would be Krauser (final encounter) and Saddler. For Krauser if you have trouble with parrying and the knife stuff. For Saddler because at that point you won't need any other weapons anymore so you can just sell whatever you have for an easy final boss kill.

For Salazar you can just cheese him with a golden egg to deal 70% of his health damage, then just use a powerful shotgun, magnum or rifle to finish him off.

I'm unsure at which points in the game the RPG is restocked. I know it doesnt happen every chapter or every new merchant. Might be restricted to purchasing 1 RPG per section of the game (so Village, Castle and Island... which would make 3 in total).

I thought you can buy as many as you want, you just can't purchase multiple at once (even if you put the RPG in storage)

Definitely use it on Saddler. Can be helpful with Krauser too if you don't have enough ammo at that part and you can afford two

I feel like once I used a rocket launcher on a boss and wasn't able to buy a new one with the next merchant, but... I'm quite honestly not very sure about it. Also on my first playthrough I avoided it like the plague since I wanted to do all bosses the regular way.

I used one on the predator in the sewer part.

Krauser is a pushover on all difficulties (you have to be good at parrying if you play pro). I would use it on saddler because he is an ammo dump.

I always use on Salazar, Krauzer and Saddler.

I know it's too late for chapter 12, but everybody's saying bosses but I prefer using it on the cave-in just before the minecart section. Rocket launcher blows it up and so skips the whole dynamite section, which is more of a time save than everything but Saddler in my experience. More of an S+ strat than a normal playthrough thing though.

By chapter 12, just put it in storage until Saddler. i.e. the final boss or chapter 16. Ramon can get egged. Krauser is annoying but has a pretty small healthpool. Saddler's the biggest annoyance.

Two RPGs are available on a Pro run; for my S+ run I used them on Verdugo & Saddler, if you're about to fight Salazar, I'd say honestly just go for it, RPG his ass in the face and then grab another one before fighting Saddler, other than that, you could just try winging it and then saving your current RPG for Saddler. Both are viable options if you're going for S+ tbh
