FIM-92 Stinger

The FIM-92 Stinger is a launcher in BlastGen that appears in the Campaign and Multiplayer modes. It is a lock on rocket launcher that is capable of destroying aircraft and ground vehicles.

Campaign
It is only used in the mission Desert Recon where its primary use is to destroy a lookout tower. Unlike in multiplayer, the Stinger does not lock on, and it is the only obtainable launcher in the game. If it is kept, the Stinger is a very good anti-personnel weapon, as it can kill dozens of enemies with a single rocket. However, one must beware close quarters combat, as a rocket fired in close range will kill the player instantly.

Multiplayer
It is unlocked at Level 12, and is the second launcher unlocked. It can be free fired, and can also lock onto aircraft. Due to its dual nature, it is the most popular launcher in the game, though other players will opt for the RPG, as it deals much more damage to players than the Stinger. Because it is a launcher, it cannot accept attachments, though it does have a integrated scope, which is used to guide the rocket.

Trivia

 * The player can obtain the Stinger in other missions via console commands. However, one must be careful while using it, as the blast radius may kill teammates, which will result in a mission failure.
 * The Stinger's rocket in third person is actually a grey RPG rocket. However in first person, it uses the proper Stinger missile model.
