Notes
- Rockets are one of only 2 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, too.
- 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 in any workbench. The number of rockets received will be double the amount of missiles converted.
Locations
- Can be bought from commissaries found in the Divide.
- If he survived, Ulysses will give you some from time to time if you 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; the Sink Central Intelligence Unit will sell small quantities.
- There are 13 rockets in the footlocker after Lonesome Road.
- Can be found throughout the Divide in rocket canisters, ammunition boxes, and military shipping crates.
