The 83.5mm rocket, sometimes called bunker buster, is a rocket warhead developed specifically for the IMI SMAW and its variants.

It is a type of explosive ordnance, as such it delivers explosive-type damage.

Mazeworld overview

The variant used in Mazeworld is the HEDP warhead.

Type LDV Unarm Light Hardskin Kevlar-2 Kevlar-3 Kevlar-4 HEV
Explosive +20 185% 185% 175% 160% 140% 125% 100%
Fragments

It is a HEDP rocket. Upon exploding, it has a chance to release between 0 and 26 fragments to each victim affected by splash damage. The damage chart shown underneath represents the power of each fragment, should they hit a target.

Remember that while explosive shockwaves can hit encounters behind cover (due to splash damage), fragmentation does not, and will hit cover first.

Bullet -1 25% 24% 22% 18% 15% 11% 5%

How to read this?

Unsurprisingly, the 83.5mm rocket deals extremely high damage. As an explosive ordnance, and a rocket launcher-grade warhead designed for anti-personnel purpose, it is a deadly force to be reckoned with, benefiting from the advantage of explosive damage type bonus of being able to blow off limbs from its targets, as well as its fragmenting capabilities, which will deal even more damage.

While these may be strong advantages, this is a rare type of ammunition, that can be found at random in the rooms in boxes of either one or six warheads, but it is also a heavy kind of ammunition - being rockets, a single one weighs 3 units, rendering ammunition conservation difficult; not to mention the somewhat high price of a single rocket (100 P$).
