Homing Launcher

Lock on, fire, and watch your enemies scramble as the Homing Launcher tracks and destroys moving targets with precision.

The Homing Launcher is a powerful guided missile launcher featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Its primary feature is the ability to lock onto moving targets, such as Vehicles and helicopters, making it a go-to weapon for taking out fast-moving enemies. The Homing Launcher offers precision and reliability, making it perfect for dealing with aerial threats or Vehicles in high-speed chases.

Design

The Homing Launcher is designed to be a portable, shoulder-mounted missile launcher equipped with a targeting system that allows players to lock onto moving Vehicles, aircraft, and even people. Its compact and sleek design makes it easy to use on the move, and its guided missile system ensures that players can hit moving targets with accuracy.

Performance

In GTA V, the Homing Launcher excels at targeting moving Vehicles and aircraft. Once a lock-on is established, the missile tracks the target, making it incredibly effective against fast-moving or flying enemies. However, its lock-on system can be evaded by skilled drivers or pilots using evasive maneuvers. The Homing Launcher is slower to fire compared to conventional explosive Weapons like the RPG, but its tracking ability makes it a formidable weapon when facing aerial threats or fast Vehicles.

Customization

Like many heavy Weapons, the Homing Launcher cannot be customized with attachments. Its primary strength lies in its lock-on and guided missile capabilities, making additional modifications unnecessary.

The Homing Launcher can be found in several Locations throughout both GTA V and GTA Online.

Grand Theft Auto V

• Available for purchase at Ammu-Nation after completing specific Missions.
• Can be found during certain Missions or combat scenarios involving helicopters and armored Vehicles.

Grand Theft Auto Online

• Available at Ammu-Nation after reaching Rank 20.
• Commonly used in Missions and heists where aerial threats or high-speed Vehicles are involved.

• The Homing Launcher is highly effective against helicopters and jets in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
• The launcher’s lock-on system can be countered by evasive maneuvers, making it less effective against skilled players in fast Vehicles.
• It takes a few moments to lock onto a target, meaning players need to maintain line of sight until the missile is fired.
• Players often use the Homing Launcher in Missions involving aircraft or heavily armored Vehicles, where precision is more important than sheer firepower.
• Despite its lock-on ability, the missile can be dodged with sharp turns or by using countermeasures such as flares in aerial Vehicles.
