Multi-kill. – Fires 6 rockets per shot. Reduced accuracy and per-rocket damage.

Usage & Description[]

The Badaboom is essentially a souped-up version of a typical Bandit/Scav rocket launcher, firing 6 shots instead of 3 per trigger pull while keeping the 1 ammo cost, making it one of the most ammo efficient rocket launchers. In terms of damage-per-shot, the Badaboom's potential eclipses that of most other launchers, including the formidable Nukem. This comes at the cost of poor accuracy, as the rockets spread in a manner similar to a shotgun's projectiles. Its spread makes it poor for mid-long range, but at close range it is a powerhouse which can inflict high amounts of accumulative damage to large targets, or spread heavy splash damage to large groups of smaller targets. This also makes it handy for attaining Second Winds.
