Shall I push the button?
- Scud Launcher leaving the Arms Dealer

The SCUD Launcher is GLA's artillery vehicle during the GLA Conflict. It is the GLA's most advanced long-range weapon.

Game unit[]

The SCUD launcher is a slow, unwieldy, and poorly armoured vehicle. It has extremely high range and its missiles deal significant damage, but its missiles' trajectory can not be altered mid-flight (unlike the Tomahawk launcher). The SCUD launcher requires protection from other units at all times. Like all projectiles, the SCUD missiles can be countered by point defense lasers and ECM tanks.

Like the Chinese nuke cannon, the SCUD launcher can be used as a impromptu base defense, but unlike the nuke cannon, the SCUD launcher can engage opposing artillery when fully upgraded, and does not have to reposition itself like its Chinese counterpart does.

  • SCUD Launcher only has Anthrax Warhead missiles.
  • Automatically uses Anthrax Beta and can be upgraded furhter.
  • Anthrax Gamma upgrade gives a +25% increase to toxin damage. Can devastate most units and vehicles but is ineffective against structures.
