The Anti-Vehicle Rocket launcher (AVRiL) (the "i" only helps pronunciation) was first introduced in Unreal Tournament 2004 for the Onslaught gametype, and is often the foot soldier's weapon of choice against vehicles. It returned in Unreal Tournament 3 as the Longbow AVRiL with a few upgrades, like being able to guide Spider Mines. Whether or not the weapon was named after singer Avril Lavigne, who was at the height of her popularity in the early 2000s, remains unknown to this day.
