Squash Rockets is a tool item. When applied to a weapon, it gives each rocket fired by the weapon a purple trail and an orange explosion. It can be applied to most of Soldier's primary weapons; exceptions:

  • This item cannot be applied to stock Rocket Launcher, but may be applied to the strange variants.
  • This item cannot be applied to the Rocket Jumper.
  • This item can be applied to the Cow Mangler 5000, but will not cause any Squash Rockets effect.

Equipping with a weapon enchanted with Squash Rockets causes similar effects in certain Magic Spells cast by the player, specifically changes to the projectile and explosion effects of those spells; examples: Fireball, Tesla Bolt, and Meteor Storm projectiles gain a purple trail and MONOCULUS explosions become orange.

Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, it could be found during Halloween events inside of Haunted Halloween Gifts on Ghost Fort, or from a Pile Of Curses.

  • Squash Rockets spell effect on Rockets.

  • Spell effect on the Meteor Storm spell.

  • Spell effect on the MONOCULUS spell.

  • Spell effect on the Tesla Bolt spell.
