Decimator
The Decimator is a self-contained, limited use rocket launcher. Each Decimator comes with three rockets. Once these are fired, the weapon is discarded.
The Decimator has two firing modes. The primary fire is dumb-fire, while the secondary firing mode has a nose camera. Unlike the Phoenix, however, you cannot steer it, though you can still detonate the warhead at any point in the flight path. The secondary firing mode is useful for scouting medium-range targets or turning what would otherwise be a missed shot into a splash damage hit.
It is especially effective against MAX units and does significant damage to vehicles, although the relatively slow rockets make the latter difficult to get a hit.
The Decimator was originally included in the Special Assault certification.
