In vanilla Doom, the rocket's splash damage does not take the vertical axis into account, and can in some cases be used to blow up enemies or barrels well above or below the rocket's impact.

However, not much has been changed, with the exception it delivers some knockback to the player when fired.

The rocket launcher's appearance in Doom 64 is slightly different.

Due to the rocket launcher's explosive force, it is often used in many speedruns to propel the player to a faster momentum, or to slingshot the player over jumps that typically could not be reached by running alone.
