High Velocity Rocket

The High-Velocity Rocket trades damage for a much higher speed and far less drop. The High-Velocity rocket is best used against placeables (mainly turrets), vehicles such as cars and helicopters, and enemy players. It is essentially intended for cases where a rocket would be overkill, or you would need the extra speed. The high-velocity rocket has poor damage against buildables and doors, but is a valuable tool for raiding in the other ways described.

As of the upcoming September update, both this and the Rocket Launcher are cheaper and Tier 2 items, with the rockets not requiring any Explosives.

Best utilized against the bradley tank. Also extremely effective against patrol heli if you can land your shots

High-Velocity rockets should only be used as combat, as it is very cheap to make. These have relatively low bullet drop, so try not to overestimate it while shooting an enemy with this.
Normal rockets have a much higher bullet drop and are much more expensive. Only use this for combat during a dire situation during a raid.

Despite being a tier 2 blueprint, the only way to find high velocity rockets is to take down either the [url=https://rustlabs.com/entity/patrol-helicopter]Patrol Helicopter[/url] or the [url=https://rustlabs.com/entity/bradley-apc]Bradley APC[/url].

The niche where these rockets shine is taking out turrets. 3 HV rockets (600 Sulfur) is the cheapest way to destroy a turret besides a compound bow.

Contrary to what somebody has said in Tips, the patrol heli is not a collidable object (cannot be hit by projectiles like a rocket), however, HV rockets can be used to shoot a Chinook down and are the most efficient way of taking Bradley but are completely useless towards the patrol heli.

Best method of blowing up deployables, vehicles, players. Not practical at all against buildings.

Regular rockets are a direct upgrade in everything but speed
