Hi just wondering if any of you had same problem it seems that at novice comando i get a certification for rocket launcher, wondering why I can't equip. Is it the back pack ?, is it broken, nothing happens when i click or double click on it just no way to use it ? Any ideas ?
Thanks

With all consumable weapons, you have to use them from your inventory (select use on the radial menu while targetting something)or a hotbar (just click it.) Unfortunately, this means that there is no way you can tell how accurate your shot will be until after you fire. Make sure you crouch to gain accuracy as well.

I figured this out the hard way on my own. I have all my weapons on the F keys, I had my target and was changing weapons to figure out which had the best chance of defeating it by star color. Then I pressed the F key for the rocket launcher. Imagine my surprise when it launched one instead on equipping it. After running like the wind only to be killed, I learned how to use it properly.

Exactly what Raptor said.
You can only "use" them, not eqip them. So when you have targeted something, select the RocketLauncher from your inventory, and click on the use option.
Or drag the rocket launcher to your hotbar, and just hit the corresponding function key (F1-F12).
