The Art of Explosion is a Prapor quest in Escape from Tarkov. It requires eliminating 35 targets while using grenades or grenade launchers and unlocks access to the RShG-2 72.5mm rocket launcher purchase at Prapor LL4.
You need to reach level 33 and complete Grenadier first. After that, The Art of Explosion becomes available from Prapor.
You must eliminate 35 targets with grenades or grenade launchers. The task supports several explosive tools, including hand grenades, underbarrel grenade launchers, standalone launchers, and the RShG-2.
Star Called Sun is a hidden achievement connected to killing a Cultist with the RShG-2 rocket launcher. It is rare because it requires the launcher, Cultist access, night raid knowledge, and clean explosive execution.
