- 40% projectile speed

- 30% damage penalty

The Liberty Launcher is an unlockable primary for trooper found in the shop. It is an all-rounder, evidently shown by its decent overall stats. It's better at rocket jumping, easier to aim and has a bigger clip size, but it loses a hefty 30% of its original damage. This doesn't make it unusable of course, but many players ought to use stock instead

Advanced information
With the 30% damage penalty, hitting someone with splash would only do around 60 damage, which means you most likely have to 3 shot medium health classes, but because of the extra splash this weapon is a better crowd control weapon than stock.

When combined with the gunboats, the resistance will not stack but multiply.

Strategies
Because of the better crowd controllability, you can dish out more damage with this, while not necessarily killing them. This means it can be a great combo with banners which in turn makes it good for team play, pick a banner and stick around your team, cripple the enemy and pop the banner when you need it.

It is also a great flank weapon, the easier and improved rocket jump allows for better and faster flanks, while you can't do much damage, combine it with the gunboats and market gardener to be able to move around easily while having great burst damage when needed.
