* As with the previous [[M41 SPNKR|M41 SPNKr Rocket Launcher]], never aim directly at an enemy player on foot with a rocket launcher. The small, fleet tendencies of an enemy soldier makes it next to impossible to score a direct hit, especially with the addition of [[Spartan abilities]], making rockets easier to avoid. Instead, aim for their feet, and perhaps a little bit ahead of where they are. Players near the rocket's splash radius can be killed, and if they aren't killed, keep a secondary weapon (preferably a precision one) to finish them off with a quick headshot. | * As with the previous [[M41 SPNKR|M41 SPNKr Rocket Launcher]], never aim directly at an enemy player on foot with a rocket launcher.

** '''''[[Ad Victoriam]]''''': an improved M57 that fires three laser-guided missiles in a V-shaped formation and feature a proximity airburst fuse, as well as faster reloading time but with a trade-off of an 18.4% slower missile speed. As the missiles can be guided using Smart Link, the ''Ad Victoriam'' is recommended for dealing with [[camping|camper]]s and/or enemies in hard-to-reach places, as well as dealing with vehicles or bosses. | ** '''''[[Ad Victoriam]]''''': an improved M57 that fires three laser-guided missiles in a V-shaped formation and feature a proximity airburst fuse, as well as faster reloading time but with a trade-off of an 18.4% slower missile speed.

** '''''[[High Five]]''''': an advanced M57 that fires five [[Hydra MLRS|Hydra]] mini-missiles capable of seeking out both land and air targets; at least two of the missiles must hit to kill a Spartan. It also has the longest red reticle range of any weapon, capable of target detection from up to 762 m (2,500 ft) away with its 5× zoom. The ''High Five'' is most effective as an anti-infantry weapon, but is otherwise still proficient against vehicles and bosses. It also has the slowest missile speed of the three Rocket Launchers, with 27.7% less speed than the standard model. | ** '''''[[High Five]]''''': an advanced M57 that fires five [[Hydra MLRS|Hydra]] mini-missiles capable of seeking out both land and air targets; at least two of the missiles must hit to kill a Spartan.
