The Hades VSH4 is a rocket launcher available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Hades Vanu Sovereignty Heavy 4 serves as a simple anti-ground vehicle lock-on launcher. Dealing a little bit more damage than the S1, though at the cost of reload speed, the Hades is capable of threatening ground vehicles out to longer ranges thanks to a deadly accurate lock-on functionality, without surrendering the ability to fire without a lock.

The Hades VSH4, AF-22 Crow, M9 SKEP Launcher, and LAV-LG are statistically identical.
