The Soldier on proper rocket jumping techniques

The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier. Its appearance is identical to the Rocket Launcher.

As a training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets, allowing players to freely practice rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets to use. Unfortunately, the Soldier's damage vulnerabilities are greatly increased, limiting its practical usage while in combat with enemy players.
