The Decimator is the second most powerful weapon available to infantry, after C-4 . Decimators fire slow rockets, reloads slowly, and is slow to pull out. However, for close range ambushes against tanks, Sunderers, and MAX suits, this weapon is the best option. In general usage The Decimator will require one less rocket than the default launchers to kill a vehicle. The decimator used to have almost no splash damage but this has been changed. The Decimator now has good splash damage.

This weapon is not empire specific, usable by Heavy Assaults of all factions. Purchasing with Daybreak Cash will unlock it for all characters on your account.
