Triple rocket launcher

Triple rocket launcher

A single-use rocket launcher that fires a cluster of three large-bore explosive rockets. Good against small groups of tough targets.
Because of its unwieldiness, single-use limitation, and the massive destruction it causes, it's said that one must be slightly crazy to use this weapon.

The triple rocket launcher is single use rocket launcher that fires 3 rockets, one after the other in short succession and will not stop until all three rockets are fired, even if the target is dead.

Acquisition

Heavy mercenary raiders, typically encountered mid-late game, may be equipped with this weapon.

Analysis

Compared to the Doomsday, it has a smaller blast radius and worse accuracy but makes up for this by firing three shots. They are a major threat to your colony as they can handily kill multiple colonists if clustered, along with causing serious damage towards structures, and should be a priority target.
