The liberty launcher isnt as bad as people make it out to be

[joebama26]

Sure, the damage penalty does hurt, but in 1v1s or 1v2s, it allows you to quickly get in, deal damage, and get out. It also has longer sustain and easier to aim projectiles that allow you to do lesser, but more consistent damage. I'm not saying its better or on par with stock, but its a really fun and surprizingly effective weapon in pubs. also its op with kritzs

Agreed

Yeah, it isn’t as bad as people make it out to be

It’s far worse

at base damage to stock for a full clip it only does 20 less damage. the reduced rocket jumping damage allows you to combo it with a shotgun to match or even succeed stock. in a way, the liberty launcher is like the shortstop for scout, another favorite weapon of mine. it allows the soldier to be versatile in his playstyle and the liberty launcher can be used in nearly every situation.

About damage consistency, stock is better

the liberty launcher still outputs decent damage, its really good for 1v1s

damage output really kills the weapon
I rarely can kill my targets despite having an extra rocket

i find the best way to use it is to jump someone alone blow them up then quickly jump out. if you can surprise multiple people the splash can kill them

5 rockets vs 4 rockets and Liberty launcher still deals less

So not only you need to waste more time firing all 5 rockets, but you end up dealing less

No it doesnt

If you want to tank rocket jumps, use gunboats

Don't waste potential on your rockets

Shortstop has NOTHING in common with liberty launcher

Liberty launcher is the LITERAL DEFINITION of a crutch, there's no way around this

The weapon sucks when you're a good player and it only helps those who can't aim for ♥♥♥♥

I swear the rocket jumper deals more damage than this thing

also you typically only need 2-3 rockets to kill someone, so you can easily escape after each bomb

No the liberty launcher is bad in any situation, none of it's upsides can make it worth using because the damage reduction is just that bad

the downside is bad, but the upsides on paper don't make up for it. Use the liberty launcher 1 game and stock the next, and see your stats at the end of it. they will be closer than you think.

Only if i have constant buff banners or kritz up my ass, nothing about this weapon is good since all it does other launchers just do better, if you want faster rockets you can just use the direct hit, if you want less self damage just equip the gunboats, even if you want more rockets the Air Strike is better because you can have 8 rockets and they do more damage, the Liberty Launcher is just outclassed by any other launcher why would anyone use it
