Pretty much every opening level of a Serious Sam game includes a secret Rocket Launcher somewhere, and Siberian Mayhem is no different.

Where is the Secret Rocket Launcher in Serious Sam Siberian Mayhems first level?

If you’ve played the Serious Sam series a bit before, you’re likely familiar with some of the long-running habits and trends of the series overall, and a fair few of them naturally make yet another return in Siberian Mayhem, including the ever-useful first level hiding a secret Rocket Launcher.

If you’re looking for a way to make the first level or so easier in the Serious Sam series of games, the secret Rocket Launcher is a great tool for it – this is quite obviously extremely useful on Serious difficulty, where death can occur pretty fast if strong enemies are left alive due to limited firepower this early in the game.

You can see the rocket launcher briefly, near the start of the mission before you get the single barrel shotgun. It’s behind an impassable metal grate though, so it has to wait till further into the level.

Shortly after finding the shotgun, you’ll come across terrain sloping upwards to a snow-covered area. Follow the edge of the coastal cliff-face you just climbed with the ramp along and you’ll find this hut pretty quickly – it’s not a far distance to travel.

There is typically a tree in the direction shown above, though I destroyed it to make this demonstration slightly easier to understand – when that tree is out of the way, or if you walk past it, you can see a blue barrel on the ground near the hut. Run over to the barrel to find a blocked off passage boarded with makeshift wooden planks.

Blast them with your shotgun, and they’ll break off.

Drop down into the pit through the newly made hole and you’ll find yourself in the room with the Secret Rocket Launcher that you saw earlier – simply walk into the brightly glowing blue portal to get out, and off you go on your way with a newly found Rocket Launcher.

Be careful with your ammo though, as you won’t get many choices to stock up given you’re not really intended to have a Rocket Launcher yet.
