The Multiple Rocket Launcher, also known as the M.R.L., is a weapon used by Marauders in the United Citizens Federation.

Processed and used only by Marauders, these portable launchers are a variant of the missile pods used on armed dropships. It can be triggered to fire its missiles singly though experience has shown that users should keep their finger on the trigger which sends a volley of rockets at a target. There are a number of faults with the weapon; the first is that it has a greatly reduced accuracy when on the move and has a minimum safety distance. As such, the rockets can cause a great deal of injury to its user if fired in close proximity.

A secondary fire mode allows for a "lock on" feature that affords increased accuracy but a reduced rate of fire.
