The Sw.A.R.M. (Swift Autonomous Round Missile) launcher is a 4-shot repeating rocket launcher featured in Resistance: Burning Skies.

Description

It is one of the most devastating weapons in the game, able to kill even Executioners and Impalers with a handful of rounds.

The Sw.A.R.M. uses the touchscreen to lock on, with a tap on an enemy placing a crosshair on them. Up to four enemies can be locked on at a time, which will fire all missiles in the launcher at once. In addition, looking at an enemy through the sights and holding them in view will gradually lock multiple rockets onto the same target, allowing all the missiles to be fired at once. Firing without any kind of lock will produce semi-automatic unguided fire.

Locked-on missiles turn fairly slowly and may miss a fast-moving enemy.

Strategy

• Ammo for the Sw.A.R.M. is relatively scarce. Thankfully, small stashes can be found in some of the later levels.
• Because of the weapon's immense power, players should always try to take out two (or three) birds with one stone. In other words, try tagging the middle man to kill as many nearby Chimera as possible.

“	Hey, people... Some good news for a change. In response to the large and extremely lethal mechs and bio-forms that the enemy has introduced into the battlefield SRPA has developed a new rocket launcher which they call the Sw.A.R.M. (Swift Autonomous Round Missile) Launcher. I'm pleased to inform you that SRPA is making this weapon available to their line units and a limited number of resistance cells. Trainers will be making the rounds. Please welcome them and take advantage of this opportunity to add what amounts to a giant killer to your inventory of weapons. Never give up, and never give in. - Colonel X Swipe enemies onscreen to lock multiple targets Hold L button to zoom ad keep an enemy in the iron sights to lock multiple rockets onto one target.	”
