        Just checked DIM. I definitely don't have one currently. -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 07:45 11
        
        I think rockets drop less than anything else in the game. I have easily gotten 10x as many sniper rifles as launchers. Probably 5x as many shotties. -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 07:55 10
        
        there are 7 legendary rocket launchers in the game, compared to 13 auto rifles - groiny Nov 15, 08:01 9

      - I like that it is not a shotgun and sniper fest every crucible match, but there has to be some reason to use these things. - groiny Nov 15, 07:24 4
        
        Agreed. Even in PvE, there's no reason to use them at all. -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 07:26 3
