  • Rokkit Launcha: Costs 40 Requisition and 15 Power and deals 31-38 ranged damage. Upgrades one squad member to the Rokkit Launcha heavy weapon. Fires a long ranged, fuel-propelled rocket that explodes upon impact. It is effective against Vehicles and Buildings. Unit must be stationary to fire this weapon and cannot be fired while moving. Firing also requires a short setup time of 2 seconds. Like most explosives, they do little damage against enemy infantry.

Strategy[]

TankBustaz are the Ork equivalent of a missile-equipped Tactical Squad. Although Anti-Vehicle as described in the game, they are only Anti-Infantry by default and must have members upgraded to Rokkit Launchas in order to be effective against Vehicles and Buildings. Get rid of them if you want to keep your vehicles. These guys can infiltrate, which is potentially dangerous, but fortunately they don't seem to utilize that skill much in campaign play.
