Detailed Tactical Info
Massive flying ARC that patrol the skies in large, open areas that are too big for other flying ARC to effectively patrol. When one spots you, it will fire missiles at alarming speed to your location, creating small but powerful explosions that can down a raider with a light shield in just two missiles.
Combat Advisory
When dealing with a Rocketeer, try to wait for the line to flash red before rolling if you're close, or wait for the rocket to come close enough to you if you're farther away. No matter the situation, you should always have a building to run into when fighting one. If you're utilizing a wolfpack against it, always try to get the entire wolfpack to explode the underside, as no wolfpack pellets will be wasted on the heavily armored rotors, only on its underside, usually leaving it weak enough to destroy with a shot or two from a Ferro or an Anvil. If you're in an extended fight with a Rocketeer, watch out for when it occasionally makes a unique call and rushes forwards at high speed, firing a barrage of three rockets before backing up again.
