Locations
- Nine in the Hopeville armory:
- Three regular ones on a shelf, one more on a table near the entrance.
- Four incendiary rockets on the same shelf, lowest board.
- One high explosive rocket on the desk mentioned above.
- Can be bought from commissary terminals found in the Divide.
- If he survived, Ulysses will give the Courier some from time to time if they talk to him, along with other items.
- Rockets can be bought from the Gun Runners after completion of the add-on.
- Quartermaster Bardon and the Great Khan armorer will sell them in large quantities and the Sink Central Intelligence Unit will sell small quantities.
- There are 100 rockets in the footlocker after Lonesome Road is completed, near the canyon wreckage entrance.
- Can be found throughout the Divide in rocket canisters, ammunition boxes, and military shipping crates.
Notes
- Rockets are one of only two ammunition types that can be broken down into exactly the same number of materials needed for their construction, the other being the .45 Auto.
- One component of a rocket is a conductor, which is both more valuable and heavier than a complete rocket. Missiles can be converted into rockets and then broken down as well.
- Breaking down rockets produces cherry bombs, which can be used to construct bottlecap mines or more valuable high explosive rockets.
- Missiles can be converted into rockets at any workbench at a rate of two rockets per missile.
- Despite sharing the same icon, the rocket is significantly smaller than the missile.
