Rocket
The standard explosive rocket, fired from the Rocket Launcher. A reliable mid-to-late game raiding tool for punching through stone and sheet metal.
Crafting one takes 2× Metal Pipe, 150× Gun Powder, 10× Explosives at a Workbench Lvl 3. A recycler breaks one down into Metal Pipe, Gun Powder.
How Much Damage Does It Do?
A Rocket doesn't have one fixed damage number against structures — the effective damage changes depending on what it's hitting, since stone, wood, metal and HQM each resist explosives differently. For the exact count you need against a specific wall, door or vehicle, check the raid chart or run it through the raid calculator.

Counts are the same from either face: explosives ignore the soft side. Each target is broken on its own: damage left over from one does not carry to the next.
