Rocketeer (Long War)

The Rocketeer class is similar to an explosives specialized Heavy in vanilla XCOM.

Primary Weapon: Assault Rifles

Secondary Weapon: Rocket Launcher

Rockets

Rockets in Long War behave quite differently than in vanilla. See Rockets.

Rocketeers get one rocket as part of their standard loadout, and can gain additional rockets with the Rocketeer and Shredder Rocket (renamed Shredder Ammo) perks as in vanilla. Additional rockets and shredder rockets are also available as carried items, however carrying additional rockets as items causes an aim penalty due to encumbrance.
