If valve doesnt add this im going to eat a stained glass window

would love to see this added

We could totally use these.

Imagine if the beggars just used the pipe-bomb model from L4D2; itd be a bit silly, but it might be a fun Easteregg

I belive that the rockets DON'T should be compatible with any War-Paint, it is going to look crappy like a War-Painted Shotgun Shell

Valve: It's incompatible, frick you

I really like this idea, but some of these are too detailed for rockets and don't really fit, especially the first airstrike and beggars bazooka one. Heck, the Beggars bazooka rocket could just be a tin can and it'd still fit. It'd take some getting used to but I like this idea.

Although this is a cool idea, I feel like some of the rockets don't really fit the TF2 artstyle. No offense.

I love that the direct hit rocket is a HEAT rocket! Love the idea!

Oh there is the Australium version in this? I worked on the textures for the Aussie Black Box and normal Rocket 😁

bro, that looks sick, and it gets australium weapons too, well, i dont have an australium

@a sentient cheeseburger
Yes there is.

question is there an Australian version for the Australian weapons

That would make a lot of sense because if the rocket jumper does no damage and the direct hit is faster rocket with less explosion radius why the hell they all look the same, it would be nice to have it in the game.

@Dogvan Well what I hope is that the TF2 devs could add an option to disable them if they wish, Like how Team Fortress 2 Classic does with some of its visual features.

It's a little over the top, and I'm worried about bloating the game personally.

THIS WOULD BE SO COOL. I REALLY HOPE VALVE ADDS IT

one of my favorite!

@AtomicTEM
Ah thank you mate.

@TheFirstGlueBender
The rockets are as optimised as the vanilla standard rocket, so don't worry about optimization.

as long as these are optimised, I dont mind em

Love how the Direct Shit rockets looks like shaped charges
Still hate it for one-tapping scouts

THIS MUST BE FIX!!!

@Puro_agua From my understanding Elbagast original submission was rejected because at the time of reject Valve had no way of implementing them, but that was later rectified in the Love & War update with the Air Strike. Though the implementation of all models would have still have caused major performance issues as the servers would have to keep trakc of multiple different rocket models and which rocket launcher was firing, that's why the Air Strike rockets looks so bland to reduce all possible overhead. My implementation would only effect the client, as you can only see the rockets in first-person reload, they can also work in the third person reload, but that would require valve to add the rocket part of the rocket launcher model to have a "rocket" bodygroup the same way the Demoman as a "grenade" bodygroup for his grenade launchers, which allows the grenade models to only appear when reloading, and also specify a specific rocket model per reload.

really good. kinda wish there was a festive one though. i remember a concept for this kinda thing a while ago that had a good mock up of what a festive rocket could potentially look like

Lovley that this beautiful addition may once again have a chance to be added. Let’s hope the valve intern is new enough to not know valve has a history of rejecting it

these are pretty good, good job!

These look REALLY good

surprised begger's isn't just on of his grenades taped to a bottle rocket.

The direct hit one actually makes sense, it has a narrow point which signifies that it has a smaller hit box and you need to be more precise with it. It's actually a really good design

but does it also change the fired rockets

YESSS ITS IN COMMUNITY FIX LETS GO VALVE PLEASE

with the new changes to the steam workshop, theres hope this will be added yet. and i would love to see this change to all rocket launchers so most stop using the default rocket and the airstrikes rockets stop looking like there fron starfox 64

not crazy about the vibrator that is the direct hits, but its one sacrifice.

Why hasn't this been added yet? This HAS to be added this time around!

Dear god.... YES!

a new layer of game sense

please we need this

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MOD FOR MONTHS,, I FINALLY FOUND IT

I like all of them except the airstrike and the beggar's bazooka . the beggar's bazooka rocket look too much like the model itself and i think going back to the drawing board will help . here is my recommendation . make it a mortar shell looking projectile . the beggar's bazooka maybe is an improvised weapon by itself but i will assume the ammo is not . using unfit ammo instead of rocket will sell the idea of gun made of garbage . instead of looking like a larping weapon .

Why ? !

It really is a great idea. But I'd have had more images (like 3D models rendering) of each rockets to see how they look like. Those screenshots doesn't show enough. I can't upvote for that reason until I can get a closer look at them. Sry

Such a great idea! I would love for this to be an option.

Forgot the screenshot for it.

so what about for the liberty launcher?

I agree.

This would be a good QoL improvement to the game.

i really like all of them and would like to see them in game but the airstrike rocket should be the same as it is now in my opinion

I was hoping someone would make a proper reload mod for these. Here's a nice shot of all the rocket models: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/752733351290601584/897472831737184266/7kXI0wF_d.webp

The rockets made by Elbagast, I obtained them via an old v_model reload model that used the rockets. N-Cog ripped the rockets out of the reload animations and turned them into proper props. Then I commissioned him to help design the rockets that didn't have custom rockets designed for them yet.

Those botkiller rockets in the image I linked to are joke additions and are not part of this reload mod (thank god).

@everyone back to the base
The Beggar's Bazooka rocket was created to fit in with the launcher itself, made of random bits and pieces of other things. I like the idea of a rocket launcher that shoots oxygen tanks out that can zip around in random directions. That would be neat.
