Leviathan

The Leviathan is a unique Rocket Launcher from the quest Wanted: Fresh Fish. It can be found in several variants, including rarity, each with or without an elemental damage type.

The Leviathan's rockets are subject to gravity, unlike normal rocket launchers which will always fire shots in a straight line. It's rockets can be treated like long-range grenades that explode on impact. Because of its unique nature, one could also fire The Leviathan straight up into the air and, after a few minutes, have the rockets fall back down to the ground around them.

Examples are on the talk page.

Trivia

 * This weapon's name in combination with its tagline is likely a reference to a quote from the movie Moby Dick (1954) spoken by Gregory Peck playing Captain Ahab in regards to the white whale: "He rises".
 * The Leviathan, could also be the beast that came from the sea. From the christian apocalypse: " It rises from the sea."
 * This weapon's tagline may be a reference to the Star Trek TOS Episode "The Conscience of the King", as the character Lenore speaks in the second to last scene: "The curtain, the curtain rises. It rises." Further weight is lent to this theory, as the main character of this episode - Karidian (AKA Kodos the Executioner) - shares many qualities put forth in Thomas Hobbes' 17th century book Leviathan, regarded as one of the most influential examples of social contract theory ever written, which also supports the idea of rule by an absolute sovereign and that sovereign's right to do whatever he thinks neccessary for the continued survival of the society of which he governs.
 * The flavor text "It rises!" could also simply be referring to the only Rakk Hive in the game that comes out from hibernation.
