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 it's actually very light. This allows you to bring a bigger gun. However, don't expect much out of the rockets in terms of radius and overall reliability, as they were modified to be lighter as well.
Background Story
You'd think that having a 4-Barrel rocket launcher that launches incendiary 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 ammo and provide support to users of the weapon.
But. . . After it was taken off the stores. . . . A certain group of survivors had unlocked its full potential. Its horrifying potential.
Tips
- It's an explosive weapon, so be wary of the explosive radius.
- You can shoot at a wall where a mob is and it'll still blow them up.
- However, not all Maps allow explosions to go through walls, for example, No Mercy.
- The shots have similar physics to a Brute club throw.
- If you try hard enough, you can make a mortar with this.

- Remember to unequip it and get another secondary, or you'll be left with your primary only.
