Whether you’re looking to break enemy defenses or make a stylish escape from the Storm, mastering the Pumpkin Launcher will make you feel like a pro. Ready to track down this exhilarating weapon and put it to work? Let’s get started.
How to Obtain the Pumpkin Launcher
To grab the Pumpkin Launcher, you can either defeat Ultima Carver at Brawler Patch or buy it from the Pumpkin King NPC located at Restored Reels for 800 Gold. It’s that simple!
How to Use the Pumpkin Launcher
To launch your pumpkins, hold down the aim button to target your enemy, then press the shoot button to send the pumpkin flying. Just remember, you’ll need rocket ammo to fire!
Be cautious! The launcher’s explosive radius can hurt both enemies and the user if you’re too close when it goes off.
In battle, the Pumpkin Launcher acts just like a traditional rocket launcher. Its projectiles travel straight, so you don’t have to worry about adjusting for gravity over longer distances. This feature simplifies aiming directly at your targets.
- Deals 130 damage per hit to players and does 330 damage to buildings and other structures.
- No headshots here, but the area-of-effect damage makes up for it.
- It has a 0.75 shots per second fire rate and a single-shot magazine, so precision is key, with a reload taking about 2.52 seconds.
Interestingly, there’s no damage falloff, meaning the rocket will always deal its full damage, no matter the distance. Plus, you can reload the Pumpkin Launcher while still aiming, making it a versatile option.
This launcher also opens up creative possibilities in combat. A well-placed shot beneath a teammate can allow them to “rocket ride,” quickly moving them across the battlefield.
