What is better than killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher? Killing a man with a highly explosive high velocity projectile launcher that YOU HAVE MADE!
— The Beggar's Bazooka publicity blurb

The Beggar's Bazooka is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an improvised Rocket Launcher made from pipes, mismatched handles and a filter, and is held together with bolts, electrical tape, and various straps and belts. A funnel is attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port.

The Beggar's Bazooka starts with 0 rounds in its clip. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the Soldier will begin loading rockets into the front of the launcher, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the Soldier will fire all stored rockets in quick succession, each with a maximum spread of 3 degrees. Up to three rockets can be loaded and fired in this fashion, however if the player continues to hold down the fire key after the third rocket loads, it will misfire, heavily damaging the Soldier, and any enemies around him.

The Beggar's Bazooka cannot collect ammo from Dispensers, so Soldiers using the weapon must rely on collecting ammo from ammo packs, using the Resupply Cabinet or picking up weapons dropped by dead players.

The Beggar's Bazooka was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Doe's Dumpster Device".

Update history

June 27, 2012 Patch (Pyromania Update)

  • The Beggar's Bazooka was added to the game.

June 28, 2012 Patch

  • Fixed exploit that allowed Beggar's Bazooka to indefinitely hold rockets in the chamber without misfiring.

Bugs

  • Holding down alt-fire will cause the weapon to continue to play the reloading animation, but will not actually load additional rockets, causing it to not fire or to misfire when it is at its limit. Releasing the button will allow it to fire normally.
  • As with all rocket-using primary weapons, excluding the Rocket Launcher and the Original, the Soldier does not load any rockets while reloading.
  • If releasing the fire button with rockets loaded immediately before being stunned or scared, you will still fire all of your loaded rockets.
