The best rocket launcher mod?

[cptcheetah]

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

LoB. I can't PB Rocket like speedrunners and I really, really want those damn Possessed Barons off the board as soon as possible. Remote Detonate is much more skill based, LoB is reliable.
In Doom 2016 Remote Detonate is so stupidly powerful, not to mention you have 35 rockets that it is a no brainer, but in Eternal it just doesn't work out for me. Tbh Remote Detonate in Eternal was a huge letdown after that of 2016. There I could clear out entire arenas with it, especially when combined with Gauss Cannon and Super Shotgun.

I find myself using grenades for swarms of weak demons. I usually end up using the lock on function to deal with larger demons. One burst can down a Cacodemon on its own.

It's good DPS and it lets me deal with something else while the missiles are going.

Grenades on groups of ignited fodder provides a good amount of shields that lets you maintain position for a while, or blood punch repeatedly if you have armor for blood upgrade. This is a solid strat IMO.

Wow my post from half a year ago is still going. FYI, I only use LOB because I constantly play the dlc's and spirits suck ass.

[Pozzy Vibes GGHF :)]

i like the detonate better, has a use against even elite enemies and can be used to clear small guys easier with good detonates.

I prefer the lock-on rockets, pretty useful with big demons, especially on those annoying whiplashes.

Childhood is using LOB on Whiplashes. Adulthood is realizing Destroyer Blade makes more sense.

Someone already broke Lock On mod so it is combo friendly, so, Lock-On Mod.
If you play BM you need to get used to RD.

Yea remote detonate is really powerful on battlemode for sure. Singleplayer, not as useful, but still nice. I use lock on burst in single player more often that I do in multiplayer

Remote detonation is the only thing that stays attached to my rocket launcher.

I main remote detonate and only use LOB occasionally for possessed demons, a dreadknight or phase 2 doom hunter here and there, or anything that will die to 1 LoB if I'm near 3 or more rockets on the floor. For whiplashes and ♥♥♥♥ I just use dblade, chaingun shield, or my personal fave: ballista->direct rocket for stagger, ballista->PB->rocket for kill. This works on cacodemons and revenants as well, and the opening ballista shot falters them so they won't dodge the rocket.

I like to spam PB rocket, quickswap combo multiple weapons, deal splash DMG, and use falters too much to get a lot of use out of LoB. I also don't like using 3 rockets on 1 enemy when I could use 1 rocket and something else, or just use 2 rockets with a PB in between.

I used to use lob exclusively and I stopped because I felt like I couldn't deal with stuff like whiplashes without it and I wanted to figure out new ways of dealing with them. I'm glad I did, because my aim, swap speed, and understanding of falters improved drastically and I also learned a bunch of new ways to kill stuff - which lead to a more efficient, varied, and fun playstyle imo. Sometimes you just gotta say "go ♥♥♥♥ yourself" to a dreadknight while you're flying past in midair tho... and LOB is perfect for that. So I still swap to it situationally. But it's legit like 90-95% RD 5-10% LOB for me.
