At one point in a video with fellow screwball Jerma985, STAR_ referred to the Liberty Launcher as “The Schwicky Shwag” and justified this by boldly claiming that it was an anagram for “Liberty Launcher”. This is, obviously, false. However, this particular gag was rooted in absurdist humor, and boldly advancing blatantly false absurd claims and not abandoning them when challenged is a common element in many absurdist jokes.

I would love to use it more, I just don't get the feeling of enjoyment anymore now that I have been playing long enough to understand that I am just gimping myself with no real technical justification for using it.

    I was thinking something similar. Switch out that projectile speed for more knockback. It should have the highest knockback of any rocket launcher. With that change, you get good CC, better combo with Reserve shooter, and can help your team better neutralise targets while sacrificing raw damage output.

    in my opinion, if the current plus 1 in the mag Liberty Launcher had a "plus X% while airborne" that would give it sort of a Bomber in the Sky, combo with the shotgun on the ground sort of playstyle. the question is, does the plus damage negate the damage penalty or is larger? plus 25% minus 25% is stock rocket launcher damage in the air, but if it was something like 40% more damage when airborne with minus 25% damage that would be plus 15% when airborne. thoughts?

Adding the explosion radius buff onto the current concept of the launcher. 2. Making the Liberty Launcher have a reduced clip (Controversial, but give it one rocket per clip), but further emphasis the explosion radius. Honestly, the second option could make for an interesting playstyle, especially if you added weapon swap speed to it; you could essentially play as a shotgun soldier...and it would help combo with its partner weapon, the Reserve Shooter. Knock one or two people into the air and then shoot them.

    Maybe it could be repurposed as a trolldier rocket launcher? I mean, the set it’s in is literally called the Airborne Armaments. It could remove the projectile speed, maybe add another rocket, less self damage, and sink the damage, but increased knockback/bigger splash range? Maybe you could bring sets into play? Adding a self-damage nerf and switch speed buff if you have all the weapons? (I guess you can null the cosmetic part) Therefore, sets actually have a purpose.

    I personally see this as a more "support" rocket launcher, as briefly mentioned with the banners. I almost always run this with either conch+whip for really high mobility and team healing for support. For a more aggressive route I use the buff banner and escape plan (more selfish, but reliable than the whip in this loadout, since the conch keeps you within the hp needed for a rocket jump).

Seeing this made me realize how much i have improved in playing the game.

    I've found that this is my go-to launcher for defending last point on payload. As your teammates shoot frantically towards the cart, they'll most often try to go for multiple targets rather than focusing one. Having that projectile speed and extra rocket is vital in this situation, and the damage penalty is pretty much negated. In essence, it's a support launcher.

  • @AtomicRiftYT

    I actually unironically love this weapon, it's great with crits, and the extra speed gives the enemy less time to surf/dodge the blast. The damage reduction isn't as big of a deal when I can just shoot the damn thing one more time edit: also wtf why are you holding W while rocket jumping

People say that they use it cause they want to go trolldier but still have a consistent source of damage, but in that case you're better off using the RJ and a shotty, or better yet just using a normal launcher and the gunboats.

    @Zesty Zucc the lib is definitely not a crutch mate. The faster firing speed combined with a faster reload speed would make the weapon a lot more viable as a jack of all trades. Would it replace bad box conch meta or stock? Probably not. But would it make it be used a bit more than the air strike and beggars? Possibly. As where it stands right now, there's just no reason to use it. The playstyles it tries to middle ground with are just better off using the regular launchers. If you want damage, run stock. If you want projectile speed, run direct hit. If you want to rocket jump, run gun boats. If you want to trolldier, run rocket jumper.
