"I'm 99% sure this is supposed to have 4 barrels. Is it a bootleg that copied R-Brain Hardwork by the evil L-Brain Sidework?"

Summary

The M202 A1 FLASH (FLame Assault SHoulder Weapon) is a rocket launcher (grenade launcher in R2DA) that was originally an American designed weapon. Its large size makes it look heavy, but you can still run with this weapon. This allows you to bring a bigger gun as a primary weapon. However, don't expect much out of the rockets in terms of radius and overall reliability, as they are roughly the same size as the Grenades.

Background Story

You'd think that having a four-barrel rocket launcher that launches rockets would be nice, but L-Brain Sidework decided to completely throw that (expletive) out the window because of funding!

People were excited to buy these M202 rocket launchers at first, considering its iconic depiction in that one film Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in. Clearly, L-Brain Sidework's extremely cheap way of cutting edges made the M202 very unpopular.

After years of service, complaints and threats of lawsuits due to not functioning properly, it was eventually decided by L-Brain Sidework to take the M202 off the stores for good, though they would still sell ammunition for the weapon, as well as provide support to users of the weapon. As of recent, however, the M202 has seen a recent resurgence in popularity by - oddly enough - its former critics and notable survivors despite its major flaws. It has also been rumoured that Sinister Arms Inc. is interested in overhauling this grenade launcher.

Tips

  • It's an explosive weapon, so be wary of the explosive radius.
    • If you have a trigger finger, then wear the Flakvest to protect yourself from dying.
  • You can shoot at a wall where a mob is and it'll still blow them up.
  • The shots have similar physics to a Brute club throw.
    • If you try hard enough, you can mortar shoot with this.
  • This is banned in PvP modes.
    • Remember to unequip it and get another secondary, or you'll be left with your primary only.
  • You can wear Flakvest to get 3 extra grenades.
