    Nothing too complicated when you finish the game for the first time you unlock the Rocket Launcher.
    They'll just do 10 kills with by selecting New Game +
    Good Luck wink

    Going to sound stupid, but I unlocked this weapon and used it sparingly on the bosses only on New Game + going for my 5 hour achievement. That being said I failed and started a 2nd New Game + to try again, I never unlocked this achievement and im out of Rocket Ammo... Is there a way to get more? Or do I have to finish AKUMU difficulty and possibly unlock the rumored infinite rocket launcher?

    I actually had trouble with this one the first time. Some important things to note.

    * you unlock the rocket launcher after finishing the game
    * you do NOT get more rockets (which seems really odd)
    * finishing the game again on New Game + does not refill your rockets
    * the rocket launcher feels very under powered
    * when aiming the rocket launcher you cannot move (annoying)
    * you'll likely want to use rockets for the achievement to kill laura
    * seems you need to complete a chapter for progress to be saved, checkpoints didn't seem to work

    My suggestion:

    After unlocking the rocket launcher, create two save games, one as a back up that has the full rocket launcher on it. I didn't do this my first time through the game, played through on NG+ and by the end had used all my rockets and not got the achievement, with no back up I had to wait until I finished a brand new playthrough (for my Akumu run) for more.

    Any ways, select NG+ (casual) and choose one of you back ups with the full rocket launcher on it. Make your way to the very end of the level by the bridge, and just keep running around the area until you have a pile of zombies following you. Park yourself on the bridge and start to fire your rockets, just fire them when there are a bunch of zombies together, don't waste them on a single dude. Once you are done, finish the level and SAVE the game.

    Back to the title menu, do NG+ again and select that new save and Chapter 2 again, doing the same thing. You should be able to get 10 by the second pass.

    This achievement feels a bit buggy as there are well over 10 enemies in this area yet killing them all doesn't warrant the achievement, hence the save backup. At least if you do this and for some reason don't end up with the achievement by the time you ran out of rockets, you have a back up with a full launcher, just don't save over it. :)

    This will also allow you to keep all your rockets to use for the killing laura achievement.

    Just to add to the above

    A great place to get this achievement is shortly into Chapter 11 when you first reach the asylum.

    Save your game and as soon as you leave the Asylum you will enter an area where the enemies are in huge cages. Simply crouch behind a barrier and as soon as the doors open blast them away. You should be able to kill at least 8. When there is no more enemies in this cage, Move ahead slightly in the level and turn a crank. This will unleash about 5 more enemies, simply pick them off.

    Once that cheevo pops just load up your last save and you still have all your rockets.
