The M9 SKEP Launcher is a rocket launcher available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The M9 Saboted Kinetic Energy Penetrator Launcher serves as a simple anti-ground vehicle lock-on launcher. Dealing a little bit more damage than the ML-7, though at the cost of reload speed, the SKEP Launcher 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 M9 SKEP Launcher, AF-22 Crow, Hades VSH4, and LAV-LG are statistically identical.
