The Soldier preserving liberty

The Liberty Launcher is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an army green rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a scope with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port. It was released with the Über Update.

The Liberty Launcher's projectile travels at a rate of 1540 Hammer Units per second - roughly 66 mph - 40% faster than the Rocket Launcher's rockets. However, it can only have three rockets loaded at once.
