Explosive rockets are ammunition for the rocket launcher, rocket turret and the spidertron. They have high range and damage which makes them perfect for attacking enemy buildings. While the total base damage is only 150 vs the 200 from a standard rocket, 100 of it is splash, which can be highly effective against groups of enemies. This is approximately triple that of a grenade.
