Miss Launcher (Fallout 3)

The Miss Launcher is a special (but broken) Missile Launcher that can be found in the lower level of Fort Independence. It is stronger than the standard Missile Launcher, but due to several modification attempts, missiles fired from this weapon do not fly true.

Research Terminal reports in Fort Independence reveal that Outcast researcher J.J. Browne attempted to modify the Missile Launcher to increase its accuracy. After several failed attempts, the broken Missile Launcher was thrown into storage until someone else could be tasked with working on it.

While the Miss Launcher still fires Missiles, they do not fly in a straight line. In fact to say they fly at all is a misnomer as they sort of get lobbed out and bounce around. The Miss Launcher can be compared most similarly to a Grenade Launcher. However, because the missiles are tube-like in nature, they do not bounce like a grenade, and as such cannot be aimed with any semblance of accuracy.
