Update 4.3 has gone live in Awesomenauts, which will introduce a number of fixes and improvements, but more importantly, a new Naut in Commander Rocket.
Commander Rocket’s skills include Rocket Launch, which will see players firing a huge rocket, dealing both damage and knocking back the enemy, as well as giving off heavy recoil. The Laser Trap meanwhile produces a rotating laser trap to deal enemies all around it, and the Charged Salvo loads up to three missiles into your launch to be fired at once.
As for Commander Rocket’s backstory, Rocket was once a no-nonsense soldier with a short fuse, before losing his head whilst cleaning his rocket launcher. After being fitted with a head prosthetic featuring a profanity filter, Rocket’s days of foul-mouthed vocabulary were over, and he would go on to be commander of the Scarg emperor security. This would eventually be Rocket’s downfall however, as he and his team were sent to prison in 3584 for putting salt in the emperor’s food. The team were able to break out, spreading across the galaxy awaiting for their commander to reunite them.
