Its kind of half ass thumper and half ass av, its half ass at whatever it does. Maybe some simple extra effects or variation on delivery or whatever. Its SA, so i think it should bring somethin different into play in how it functions and what its good for that someone with AV or a thumper could not do. Honestly tho, esp with customization, they wont put it in alongside a thumper without changin it up a bit. Its just so similar that you cant really customize each of em and have anything unique come out of it, way too much overlap.
In the end, i bet they get combined into one weapon. you choose whether you shoot rocklets or grenades. The weapons are way too similar for them to not just do this and let the customization part determine whether the projectiles are straight or lobbed, which is the only real difference.

The rocket gave you the same effect as the thumper. But it was useful in the situations the thumper wasn't. It did not serve the same purpose as AV. Which is to kill vechiles and maxes. The Rocket rifle could kill everything. If you by chance had two people with it in a tower drop it did wonders.
This is just not the only situation. The long BD, Hallways, the stair wells up and down. Infantry near walls.
