Information

The Gunboats are an unlockable item for the Soldier, a pair of leather boots with metal plates on the sole and heel. It is equipped in the Secondary slot and reduces self-damage from Rocket Jumping, but not self-damage inflicted from rockets used offensively. The boots merely need to be equipped to function, like the Razorback, and cannot be 'drawn' like the shotgun or other traditional weapons. This effectively locks out the Secondary Slot while the Gunboats are in the player's loadout.

Damage

  • While this item is equipped, the user takes 75% less explosive damage from their own rockets.
  • You still take the full amount of fall damage.

Function Times

Trivia

  • The Gunboats were designed to be useable by either Soldiers or Demomen and the item was rewarded to the class that won the Soldier-Demoman War. The Soldier ended up winning the war, thus he was given the Gunboats as a reward.
  • The Gunboats are the only unlockable weapon that cannot be unlocked using Achievements, as the Soldier (like all other classes) has only 3 milestones. You must either use the Item drop system or Crafting to get a pair.
  • Before the January 13, 2010 Patch, doing the grenade taunt while equipped with the Gunboats allowed players to survive, provided that their health was over 64 (not including fall damage).
