Rocket
The Rocket is a powerful explosive ammunition in Rust used with the Rocket Launcher for raiding and destroying player-built structures. It is one of the most effective tools for dealing large amounts of damage quickly, especially against multiple building elements at once.
Unlike C4, rockets do not attach to surfaces. Instead, they explode on impact, dealing damage in an area around the explosion. This allows rockets to damage multiple structures simultaneously, making them highly effective for breaching walls, doors, and clustered building parts.
Rockets are also dangerous in combat situations due to their high damage and splash radius. However, their explosive area makes them less precise, requiring careful positioning to avoid damaging unintended targets or wasting resources.

- Breaching multiple walls or structures at once
- Raiding compact or clustered bases
- Situations where area damage is more effective than precision
