The Launch Jumper is a Hardmode Launcher that drops from Skeleton Commandos. Like most launchers, it uses basic Rockets as ammunition, shooting rockets that explode immediately upon enemy or tile contact. Rockets fired by this launcher can hit a single enemy up to three times, cannot destroy blocks, and are rocket-jumpable; that is, being close to the rocket's explosion will propel the player in the opposite direction, dealing 10 damage and briefly inflicting the Singed debuff.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • If the Show Donator Item Color configuration option is disabled, the Launch Jumper will have a rarity of Rarity Level: 8 instead of the standard Rarity level: Donator.

Trivia

  • The Launch Jumper's name and mechanics are a reference to rocket jumping, a technique used in FPS games where players launch rockets at their feet to propel themselves at the cost of health.
  • The design of the Launch Jumper is directly based on the Rocket Jumper from the game Team Fortress 2.
