The Lancer VS22 is a rocket launcher available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Lancer VS22 is a range-oriented rocket launcher exclusive to the Vanu Sovereignty. It features a very high muzzle velocity and zero bullet drop, allowing it to strike accurately at targets out to very long distances. Its charge mechanic is dependent on the duration the Fire key is held. Charging for 0 to 1.5 seconds will result in charge level one, 1.5 to 3 seconds results in level two, and 3 to 5 seconds will result in level three, with the Lancer automatically firing after 5 seconds of charging. Each charge level deals progressively more damage and each shot will consume 1 ammo per charge.

The damage dealt by the Lancer VS22 depends on the charge level. Charge level 1 will deal a maximum of 200 damage, charge level 2 will deal a maximum of 400 damage, and charge level 3 will deal a maximum of 800 damage. The muzzle velocity of the projectile does not change depending on the charge level, it will always travel at 450 m/s. With a projectile lifespan of 1 second, the Lancer will always have a maximum effective range of 450 meters.

Unlike other rocket launchers, the Lancer VS22's projectiles feature damage fall-off, beginning at 150 meters, and also lack any indirect damage. Additionally, unlike other dumbfire launchers which deal Infantry Rocket Launchers type damage, the Lancer deals Infantry Lock-on type damage, affecting the damage it deals to various aircraft.
