METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Rocket launcher question
Just curious what the best launcher is. I'v been using the GROM-11 since the beginning of the game and just now started developing the FB MR R-Launcher. I'v heard the CGM is pretty week so just trying to get some opinions.

CGM 25 is the best rocket launcher because the damage isn't taking into consideration that there are multiple rockets. It's the damage for each rocket and I think at rank 4 it fires like 8.

The basic FB MR is the most universal as it's extremely strong, fast and you can bring 14 ammo for it.
The grenade FB MR is great for FOB defenses as it has insane AOE.
CGM is the strongest and can shoot down both tanks and helis but is far slower with less ammo and most importantly, your range is limited to 250m, at least with moving targets.

Try the "grenade upgrade" one. Half the ammo but larger radius and if it touches him = alarm.

Well, if you go the cheap route as defender and bring a launcher, might as well take the flashbang fackel and just carpet bomb his avergae position. something is bound ot hit him, and you guards will only be out a few secs.

The Grom is cheap, but that's pretty much all it has going for it. The Falkenberg (FB MR-R Launcher) packs more of a punch. The Killer Bee is fairly weak but it's a homing, and the CGM is the best of the Killer Bee and the Falkenberg. The problem with the Bee and CGM is that the missiles are fairly slow. It can take a good 20 seconds just to go 200 meters where the others cross that distance in about a fifth of the time.

Sadly they all kind of suck unless you're fighting tanks. Other than taking out a tank in two shot, the brennan or serval can do literally anything they can with the added bonus of the higher rank of brennan getting a silencer.

CGM 25 did suck, but wait til you upgrade it! Thing is ridiculously good. The bee is useless since it's only anti air. You will switch between the grom and the FB and late in the game or after you beat it, you will use CGM 25 indefinitely. Its range and power will be as strong and it heat seeks people, helis, and vehicles. It also attacks multiple targets if you lock them. Good first attack weapon. Just research it and it will be great down the road. :)

So what about the FOB upgrades? The CGM caps at 8 but the killer bee goes all they way up to 11! so is the CGM really the best or is the killer bee?

Killer Bee is equippable by security team staff, and that adds a lot to the fact fhat it has 11 development grades.

If it's for chopper, just call the APC and shoot it down with its cannon turrets. Using RL will not only alerts your presence to enemies, but also harder to do. Killer Bee is out of question since it's twice weaker than unguided RLs.

CGM rank 5 is relatively cheap and has no precious metal cost.
Once you're looking at rank 6 and above, you damn well better be making big money from FOBs or you'll bankrupt yourself.

Speaking of which, the CGM rank 5 can carry you through the Skulls event FOBs for big GMP gains in a short amount of time.

That’s cool so I would assume that CGM is better for skulls and ground targets but if you want a chopper gone or a good RPG for your FOB platforms you’ll pick the killer bee because of its superior tracking and such
