A Rocket Propelled Grenade expansion was an upgrade for the component tower. It was a major part of GDI defenses during the Second Tiberium War. The RPG module could offer long range anti-armor bombardment defense. It was effective at holding not just Tick Tanks and other armored threats at bay, but also infantry, which the RPG could kill in a few direct hits. While effective against most threats, RPG upgrades lack the accuracy of Nod's Obelisk of light.
The cost of the structure meant that GDI had to deploy them more carefully. They did suffer from minimum range disadvantage and inaccuracy making it possible for Nod's Attack Cycle to rush them, however GDI could pair these with Vulcan Cannon Towers to balance this weakness. Other disadvantages included that it would not function when the base was underpowered and it had no anti-air defense.
They were eventually replaced with more accurate Guardian cannons.
