Try to lead shots with small wrist flicks at long range as either of you getting closer or keeping distance. Don't abuse jumpshots beyond close quarters until you get the hang of RL accuracy at long distances.Projectiles will stall behind of your movement direction on-ground either mid-air ever so slightly, affect by your angle of view. Try to lead the shot with the round of the crosshair as you're on the move for foes that may engage or retreat away. For more comfort let your elbow-wrist coordinate together. With some close observation and mathcrafting it takes quite some time to figure out the rockets' flight path and timing with experience. Strafe aim and movement flow have great effects on rocket's trajectory path.That flight time obviously changes within' angle you shoot, distance and movement pattern differences between you and your foe in real combat. That means rocket covers the same distance in one second, where it takes player 3 seconds to reach on a flat terrain. Standard player speed (320-324 ups) is a third of the standard rocket flight speed.Aim at the ground and walls near to shake your foe's balance off. It usually takes around two to three rockets near a target to kill him/her. While this usually won't kill them in one shot, it can do a lot of damage. Instead, utilize the rocket's splash damage by hitting your target's feet. Due to Quake 3's fast-paced nature, it can be incredibly difficult to directly hit a target with a direct rocket at long distances.At the other hand chaos may be a good thing for someone who needs to risk a little by a hit-and-retreat in order to gain control over items. To evade any risks and unnecessary stack loses, players must find alternate paths around such spots once RL is already in their possession or seek rocket packs. Any crosspath or narrow gate that leads up to RL spawn from an important armor or health pickup in any map, always have potential to create chaos chokes at crowded matches.Even at large open areas or cluttered spaces, RL can be a dominant weapon at any arena. Expect some resistance if you are going for it, especially in FFA mode, where everyone you face is hostile. Because the Rocket launcher's usefulness, it's often a hotly-contested weapon.

When an attacker kills someone with a Rocket Launcher, the game feedback summary will announce something like 'Grunt ate Bitterman's rocket.' on direct hit kills or 'Wrack almost dodged Gorre's rocket.' on splash damage kills. The Rocket Launcher is a popular weapon, so expect some resistance when trying to get it. Generated splash damage from the point of impact can be utilized in Rocket Jump or air juggling enemies. These generate Splash Damage, which do damage around the rocket's point of impact. In Quake 3 Arena, the Rocket Launcher, or ' RL', fires powerful rockets.
