Celebration Mk2 vs Rocket Launcher
The verdict
With crit factored in, Celebration Mk2 puts out 520.0 DPS against 114.4 for Rocket Launcher — about 355% more damage per second. Base hits are Celebration Mk2 50 vs Rocket Launcher 55, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Celebration Mk2 swings faster at a 6-tick use time versus 30, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Celebration Mk2 hits with more knockback (10 vs 4), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
