The 4C-Fire Rocket (also known as Fire Rockets) is a large artillery rocket.
Uses
Specifications
Like other artillery shells it is indirect fire: it has a natural inaccuracy which increases with range, its trajectory is affected by the wind, and it can trigger the retaliation of Howitzer Garrisons.
It explodes on impact.
By default its explosion deals 145 Incendiary High Explosive damage in a 2.25m radius and decreasing amounts in a 5.5m radius. It also applies an incendiary effect in its area which can leave structures on fire and slowly damage them, the effect is 71% stronger than with 3C-High Explosive Rockets. It doesn't devastate the ground.
Due to its incendiary nature the rocket can't disable Vehicle Subsystems or cause soldiers to bleed but it can light infantry on fire.
It's effective against most structures but much less against very resistant ones, and awful against Trenches.
It is awful against armored vehicles and Large Ships, it deals significantly reduced damage and its inaccuracy makes it hard to hit a mobile target. It cannot disable their subsystems (the tracks in most cases).
It can kill infantry and unarmored vehicles although that isn't cost efficient.
Users
The following infantry weapons, vehicles, and structures use 4C-Fire Rocket:
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ammunition Factory (Rocket Battery Workshop) | 2 x Construction Materials  1 x Heavy Explosive Materials  4 MW of power  |

4C-Fire Rocket in Facility personal orders can be retrieved as crates with RMB > "Retrieve as crate".
Tier 2 Facilities must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Storage
4C-Fire Rocket does not stack in inventories (1 per slot) except in ammo slots dedicated to 4C-Fire Rocket in certain vehicle or structure inventories (varying stack sizes).
It is a Large Item, a soldier can only carry one at a time on their shoulder.
It can be stored in Base stockpiles but also in Material Pallets, Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer, Material Transfer Stations, or Storage Rooms.
4C-Fire Rocket crates can be stored in the stockpile of a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Storage Ship. Crates can be submitted to any stockpile that accept 4C-Fire Rocket to transfer their content into it.
Trivia
- When 4C-Fire Rockets were introduced in Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), they were initially faction-neutral
- This was shortly changed after War 96 concluded, with them becoming Warden-exclusive
- In Update 1.53, they once again became faction-neutral, as both sides were given equipment that used those rockets
