Rocketeer in ARC Raiders
Rocketeers hover at altitude and ripple-fire rocket salvos that blanket entire courtyards. The splash damage forces you out of cover, and their altitude makes them miserable to pin down without a plan. They are slow to turn between salvos.
Rocketeer weak points
Thrusters bring it down; the glowing core in the chest gap between armor plates is exposed during the reload cycle after a full salvo.
How to kill the Rocketeer
Wait out the salvo and hit the core in the reload window, or force a crash with heavy fire into the thrusters. Spread out in squads — its rockets punish clustering. Fight from overhangs it cannot arc rockets under.
