The Vanguard Quartermaster by the ship hangar is selling a Choleric Dragon Rocket Launcher. It is THE perfect roll for the Oryx checkpoint. Arc damage, Cluster Bombs, and Will of Light. It also has a faster reload speed than the raid rocket launcher. It even has Life Support to recover your health in case you take some damage on your plate. This Rocket Launcher was designed for plate duty...it's perfect. I strongly recommend that you guys pick this up. It 1 shot kills the Centurions. This is a must have for plate duty!
I attached a video of me on plate duty killing adds with the raid rocket launcher. This is a 2 month old video. This new rocket would have made it that much easier. I figured this would show you guys who are rocket launcher doubters what they can do in a raid if handled properly (don't shoot it in the shade).
And for those of you that prefer to not kill adds and hide after killing your Knight. Hiding is not a strategy...if you're too afraid to kill adds then just go play with a ball in the tower. That's just as productive as hiding.
[b]EDIT:[/b] I don't want you guys to think that I think this rocket should replace your Heavy slot for any job during the Oryx encounter. I'm just talking about plate holding. For me the personally a preferred layout is
Runner:
High Impact Scout or Pulse rifle
High Impact Sniper
Raze Lighter
Plate Holders:
High Impact Scout or Pulse rifle
High Impact Sniper (I use Black Spindle)
Choleric Dragon (one mentioned)
Center Titan/Ogre Duty:
Touch of Malice
High Impact sniper
Quillim's Terminus
[b]or[/b]
High Impact Scout rifle
High Impact Sniper rifle
Sleeper Simulant
(I started using this setup recently...wrecks)
[b]EDIT 2:[/b] Alot of good feedback. It's very cool hearing all the different views on how to clear adds and hold a plate. Except for the pansies that are afraid to shoot at an enemy :)
Some salt...but it is impossible to post with out salt here! I'd love to hear some feedback from some of you on how your experience with it at the plates went.
[b]LAST EDIT
I WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE VIDEO TO THIS ROCKET LAUNCHER IN ACTION IN THE ORYX FIGHT. AS YOU'LL SEE IT IS AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED.[/b]

Ok...so I was bored and uploaded a video of how this rocket does in the raid. As you will see it is a beast for this encounter.

1 RespuestaVery good recommendation :) It also did so much work for this weeks Nightfall as well.

Editado por Pyloxious: 5/20/2016 9:15:43 PMI got a Solar one before the April Update and I must say, it's dope. Mine got Tripod instead of Life Support though. It stupid good especially when I got the Taikonaut on. Stupid Ogres have no chance. Usually ToM the first 2, one Rocket + ToM the third one and Double Rocket the last one. I miss Raiding...

1 RespuestaThe raid one is fine. Fire a rocket or two, swap weps, chill, reloads itself, it has high blast radius and will of light. Or just stop struggling with am easy encounter in the first place. That works too.

4 RespuestasSince this thread is still going, I'm going to spell it out of the doubters and haters. Is any rocket or heavy needed for the raid? Absolutely not. The only times I personally use a heavy in Kings fall is quillims for the wizards at totems and raze lighter for the vessel if I'm the runner. At 330+, you can use almost any weapon set for the raid and get it done just fine. Don't need spindle or sleeper or malice. You use these weapons because they make the raid as easy as possible. When you're on a plate, you [u]should[/u] be killing adds after you kill your knight. A rocket that one shots the centurions makes things a little easier. Plate holders don't need a heavy for anything else, and it doesn't take up an exotic slot. It's a win-win. Tl;dr This rocket isn't a "must have", nor is op saying it's needed. It's an ideal roll for a specific part of the raid that can make things slightly easier. It's an option for your consideration. Use it or don't, but stop being asses and hating others for using a different weapon than you. Please. Thank you.

1 RespuestaRocket launcher at ORIX!? WTF!!? I only use the rocket launcher to spawn at the Golgoroth gate after the Warpriest fight. Didn`t know it was worth for any thing else in the raid.
