==Details==
==Description==
Based on actual technology, the Thermobaric Rocket uses a two-stage process to obliterate its target. In the first stage, an explosive fuel cloud is released into the air where it expands quickly. The second stage ignites the cloud which creates an explosion that is a miracle to see. This weapon met all of our criteria.

The Thermobaric Rocket Launcher can be purchased from the [[Red Faction: Guerrilla Upgrades#Thermobaric Rocket Launcher|upgrades table]] after the liberation of the [[Free Fire Zone]], with an upgrade to increase ammo capacity.
For gameplay we changed the launcher slightly from the standard rocket launcher. With the Thermobaric, you can detonate the rocket in mid-air with a second press of the trigger or just let it run its course to the target. So when you’re struggling against an entire building full of enemies, the Thermobaric Rocket Launcher evens the odds. Find an open window or doorway, or make one with another weapon, then target the hole, and pull the trigger. When the rocket has cleared the outside walls, hit the trigger again, and watch the building blow out like fireworks. Here’s a hint. Be sure to take cover first. Those pieces of debris can kill you too.
