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 numerous failed attempts, the ultimately 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; the projectiles get lobbed out of the chamber. The Miss Launcher can be compared most similarly to a Grenade Launcher in behavior. However, because the missiles are tube-like in nature, they do not bounce like grenades and therefore cannot be aimed with any semblance of accuracy. Personally, I prefer to just use the regular missile launchers as opposed to this one.
