The best rocket launcher mod?

[cptcheetah]

Yep, another one of these. This one is probably going to be a bit more controversial.

PB + Rocket combo. Both mods are fairly useless

BUT, for when I do use it: the burst mod because I hate dreadknights and a single burst will put them into glory kill states quickly and very consistently. I'm too lazy to deal with the frogbois

[Grampire]

^ Disagree on them both being useless, remote detonate is an on demand falter and that is extremely useful.

Instant LoB is great for damage, and if you're not into swapping then LoB is a great problem solver.

For me though, honestly PB swapping is easier to do on command and does more than enough damage, no delay when locking on, and the utility make remote detonate my preference. If you can PB swap then the damage from LoB isn't as attractive.

Remote detonation.

Lock on is very one dimensional. Yes, it does a lot of damage to a single target, but a combo does that too. It has no splash damage. It does effectively less damage than 3 single rockets would.

Remote detonation can be used in a number of ways. It falters enemies, it can get behind a shield or a pinkie's hard front. It blows up groups of fodder. And it does all that without damaging yourself which a regular rocket would do in many cases.

If I don't have an ice grenade ready, I falter the cybermanc with remote det before I go in for a blood punch. I find that easier to do than using a grenade timing wise. Plus I don't waste that grenade. It's a great faltering tool in general. A so called "soft" faltering tool, mind you. More to that in the video I link at the end of this.

I use lock on in some cases, mostly with possessed enemies. They are immune to faltering and super fast. Yes, a combo would still be better I guess, but knowing that a possessed hell knight goes down with exactly two lock ons is easy to process in my moment to moment planning.

There are speed runners that can do crazy things with lock on combos, but I don't even want to think about that stuff.

Here's the video, it's useful:

pretty sure LOB does more DPS than PB-rocket (and there are techs to speed up the lock-on), it's just that PB-rocket is way more ammo efficient

[cptcheetah]

In my opinion: LOB does way more dps, Remote detonation is fun af, and pb rocket is the most ammo efficient but also the most sweatiest.

[Acidworm]

I use the lock on a lot. Haven't used the remote detonation.

Lock On is objectively and scientifically better than remote det, bruh aimbot rockets what can you want more ?

but remote det is fun too, it falters enemies and pretty funy

If you need the direct dps then yes, LoB is great. But from a utility standpoint there are drawbacks - Overkill and ammo efficiency, delay while locking, being forced to concentrate on 1 target, no splash damage, etc.

While remote detonate is lower dps output on its own you're less likely to waste ammo on Overkill and it combos much better with more of your arsenal and abilities, and allows you to reliably exploit mechanics that can give you the edge.

I really think if you take the raw damage out of the equation it's a matter of preference.

I disagree. Remote det is better for killing mobs and can stun even larger enemies.

I disagree. Remote det is better for killing mobs and can stun even larger enemies.

I disagree even further with this as a grenade in the middle of a frozen mob is even more cost efficient and with the Equipment Fiend rune, it's recharge time is vastly reduced.

[Ace]

For me LoB is better although Remote det has it's place for sure, i feel like it does need a buff however to make it perform really well.

[Mortimer Reed]

I prefer remote det for the faltering effect. But I do use LoB to when I need to dish out high damage without relying on quick switching.

[Hundinger]

I'm doing a playthrough with only my second favorite mods allowed right now and I really miss remote det. It's so much more versatile than lob and to be frank, I find lob pretty boring. I rather combo than using it most of the time.

[Daddy Shark]

I personally use lock-on the most. It's my "kill that one a-hole right THERE" tool.
