The Armageddon is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 5.4.1 update. It used to be the final upgrade of the Apocalypse, but became an individual weapon in the 8.2.1 update.
Description
The Armageddon is a weapon that truly lives up to it’s name. It’s massive damage paired with it’s fast firerate makes for a notoriously powerful weapon that also requires good skill to use. Its 4 rockets are enough to kill 2 max-armored players, and it’s huge 
makes every shot count.
Appearance
It is a red and grey M202 FLASH with a red base with a checkered colored ring in the middle of the weapon, a black handle with a grey trigger, and dark grey tubes in the back of the weapon. It also has a 4x scope and an area damage effect.
Performance
The player shoots 4 rockets with area damage at a high fire rate and reloads after every 4 shots. These rockets also have a bullet travel time, so the rockets don't instantly hit the target. However, when they do hit the player, they leave a medium-sized explosion. Moreover, it possesses a 4x scope that allows the user to aim at an opponent more accurately.
When reloading, the player puts fout spare rockets on the weapon's front nozzles. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- Its rockets have the area damage effect, so taking out a group or team of enemies makes the weapon's rockets more effective when in use.
- Pairing this with the Singular Grenade will help you get more points and kills by drawing the enemies in and killing them with this.
- Although the Armageddon may not be able to do massive damage or high rocket jumps, if it is fully upgraded it can be a decent weapon.
- Try to aim at the ground near enemies so they can't easily avoid the rockets.
- This weapon takes a long time to reload, so take cover and get away from enemies before reloading or just switch to another weapon if you are still engaged in a duel.
- Its rockets travel faster than other rocket launcher's projectiles, allowing you to engage enemies up to medium ranges. If you aim well enough, it is possible to hit airborne enemies with it.
- Take advantage that it doesn't inflict self damage when rocket jumping with this weapon.
Counters
- Its users are relatively slow and a rather easy target to pick off using long range, high damage, or instant travel time weapons.
- Avoid being in a group, especially in Team Fight because of this weapon's medium-sized splash damage radius and devastating damage.
- Rockets are easy to dodge in long distances. So pick off its users in medium-long ranges to prevent them from raining rockets on you.
- Any high fire rate weapons can easily disorient its users.
- Attack its users while they are vulnerable. Like while they are reloading or standing still.
- Use high mobility weapons to either escape or dodge the user's rockets, to make him/her waste their ammo.
- Use a close-ranged, power-house weapon like the Undertaker to quickly eliminate the user. However, this may incite the enemy to kill you at close range, even if it means taking damage or killing him/herself.
- As always, do not stay still, since you will be hit by its blasts if you do.
- Run away from the enemy while shooting them to ensure your chances of survivability.
- Move quickly around the user while strafing them.
- Before the next shot, try to deal as much damage to the enemy as you can during their reload.
- Use this yourself as a last ditch effort if all failed.

Equipment Setups
Equip a good Primary weapon and a good sniper to take out other people in situations that this weapon lacks the ability to do so.
- This weapon is a pure Heavy weapon, made to be used in close situations and on weakened enemy players. Mostly strong in close ranges but lacks the ability to be used for all situations, so only use this weapon for the final blow or even as a last resort. Your main weapons would still be your primary or your sniper.
- A high fire rate weapon to finish off weakened targets.
