Avenger

Overview
The Avenger is a small but powerful automatic rocket weapon with 4 rounds. Avengers fire out small, fast rockets that deal 1/3 to 1/2 of a player's health in area damage on hit and slightly knock back opponents. These rockets can also slide and ricochet off of walls. One rocket alone may be weak, but the damage racks up quickly with multiple shots and can be lethal in an encounter.

Like other rocket weapons, the Avenger's rockets can be neutralized by weapons like the Flamer and the Link Gun.

With the Avenger

 * Remember that the rockets follow a slightly odd trajectory compared to most other weapons, which requires you to adapt your aiming technique.
 * Do your best not to shoot at surfaces nearby, as the area damage from the rocket explosions can also hurt you as well.
 * Avoid getting into fights with Flamer and Link Gun users.
 * Flush out campers hiding in sandbags by shooting either directly at the sandbag or from above. The area damage can be enough to knock the opponent out, or kill them altogether. On the contrary, it's not recommended to camp in sandbags yourself, because the rockets will likely explode on the inside of the sandbag and damage you.

Against the Avenger

 * Use rocket-deterring weapons to redirect or even neutralize the Avenger's rounds.
 * Move quickly to dodge the Avenger user's rockets (this shouldn't be totally impossible as the rockets are fairly small), then attack them while they run out of ammo.
 * It's not advised to camp in sandbags to fight off an Avenger user, because their rockets can push you out or even kill you.

Trivia

 * The Avenger is to the M79 as the Carbine is to the Barrett.
 * This is the first weapon to have bullets able to explode and ricochet off of walls.
