Incendiary Rocket

The Incendiary Rocket is a specialized explosive ammunition in Rust that creates fire on impact, dealing damage over time to players and nearby objects. Unlike standard rockets, its primary strength is not direct explosive damage, but the ability to spread flames across an area.
When fired, the rocket explodes and generates fire that persists for a short duration, damaging anything within its range. This makes it particularly effective against wooden structures, deployables, and players caught in confined spaces.
While it is less effective against high-tier building materials, the Incendiary Rocket can be used strategically to control areas, block movement, and force players out of cover. Its ability to spread fire makes it especially dangerous in enclosed environments.
Damage and Behavior

- Fire spreads across nearby surfaces and players
- Damage depends on fire spread and exposure time
- Effective against wooden structures and deployables
- Can damage players through sustained fire exposure
- Limited effectiveness against high-tier structures
- Requires a Rocket Launcher to be used
Recommended Usage
- Area denial and controlling movement
- Flushing players out of enclosed spaces
- Destroying deployables such as turrets or tool cupboards
- Situations where fire damage is more effective than direct impact

- Creates persistent fire damage
- Effective for area control
- Useful against players in confined spaces
- Can spread damage beyond the initial impact
Cons
- Low direct damage compared to standard rockets
- Ineffective against high-tier structures
