“

You kids today don't know how to dominate.  Click to listen — The Soldier fondly remembering his origins

”

The Original is a promotional primary weapon for the Soldier. Styled after the weapon from Quake, it is a bulky, tan Rocket Launcher with a metallic tubular back-end, a metallic handle and a tan handle, and a distinctive, oversized barrel.

This weapon functions like the Rocket Launcher, yet has additional cosmetic changes. As with the launcher in Quake, the Original's first-person view model is in the bottom-center of the screen, and rockets are launched straight into the crosshair. The Soldier holds the weapon normally in third-person view.

The Original was awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchased Quake 4 on Steam before August 8, 2011 – 10AM PDT.

Update history

August 3, 2011 Patch

• The Original was added to the game.

August 9, 2011 Patch

• Updated The Original so it can be purchased/crafted/traded/found
• Updated the gamehaptics file
  • Added draw/recoil/reload/crit forces for the Original

Bugs

• Like the Direct Hit, Liberty Launcher, and Black Box, the Soldier does not load rockets for the Original when reloading (although, by default, the front of the Original is hidden in the bottom during reloading).
• The tube of the weapon, viewed both by the player and spectators, is empty of rockets.

Unused content

• The game files contain additional remastered sounds from Quake, such as explosions, picking up items, and using chat.

Trivia

• Most of the sounds triggered by the use of this weapon were remastered from the original Quake Rocket Launcher.
