I don't use shotguns or rocket launchers with any great frequency, but I just couldn't help starting to use them after I found an orange shotgun and an orange rocket launcher in two chests that were
right next to each other. The Shotgun's cool and has an x3 explosion effect and about 66 accuracy, while the rocket launcher does about 880-something damage. Bear in mind that I got these at, like, level 18 or something, right after I found Lucky.
'Course, the downside to the rocket launcher was that it fired four rockets at once, and with a magazine size of four, that meant having to reload after every shot. For 880 damage in the early levels plus a GIGANTIC blast radius, though, I was willing to work with it.
