Gunboats: Useless?

[mastermaul]

I mean seriously, minimized rocket jump damage in place of a shotgun?

Who the hell rocket jumps enough for that to be worth a shit?

[Zombii]

I thought it was a misc item...?

And anyway, I'd use them.

[AutomataReturns]

I'd use them. I like rocket jumping.

[inzuki]

What the hell is a gun boat?

[mastermaul]

"Introducing the Gunboats,[B] secondary-slot boots[/B] that reduce rocket jump damage by a huge amount"

So yeah, I don't think it's Misc.

[Dr Nick]

Any soldier who knows how important rocket jumping is.

[Schmaaa]

^

I rocket jump all the time, these are a freakin' life saver for me.

when I unlock them.

[Timebomb757]

The fuck are you talking about? Rocket jumping is one of the best abilities of the soldier, I plan to use the boots quite frequently.

You really dont need your shotgun anyway if you can manage your RL ammo, since the RL is effective at short range.

[Lighting]

I never learned how to properly rocket jump, so they're pretty much useless for me

[That Deer]

Ok. No more shotgun and now you can rocket jump more... Wheeeeeeeeeee :geno:

[Smashman]

I hope these wouldn't be secondary for Demoman.
That'd make woulda made the more useless than anything.

[Campin Carl]

These combined with the Direct Hit will make better rocket jumps I think

[3mpty]

They're alright, the lack of a shotgun hurts, and falldamage still takes 30 damage if you don't hit spot on.

To be honest. I expected something better for the 4'th "Weapon"

would you rather have nothing instead?

[HALP Cat]

I would've rather had these for the demoman.

"HEY THERE IS A FOURTH [b]WEAPON[/b]! PLAY TO RACK UP KILLS FOR YOUR SIDE BECAUSE ITS THAT AMAZING! BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY YOU WILL WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME"

I would have rather not been told at all, frankly. The boots are useful but it would have been better if they just randomly threw them in there with the update.

[AwpersAreBad]

These would work perfectly for the demo, goddamn I should have been out there farming kills.

[eroobus]

To be honest the shotgun is useless now due to the Equalizer so Gunboats for me.

[_Mythic]

I don't even have the Gunboats.

[AyesDyef]

They'd be sorta OP for the demoman, imagine instead of putting a max of 2 stickies down, 4 stickies, You'll go far kid.

[Political Gamer]

I love them! I take 10-12~ damage for each rocket jump! :D

[Icemoo]

How do you get the gunboats?

[_Mythic]

how do you get them? I dont have them.

[eroobus]

[QUOTE=_Mythic;19031043]how do you get them? I dont have them.[/QUOTE]

It's a random drop. Also, after a rocket jump your health is usually 126 but w/ the Gunboats it's around the 180 mark (determined with the DH). Quite useful.

[Amateur]

Win a Weapon boots this weapon replaces shot gun,you will win it if your side wins the war,x side won the war,where the fuck are my boots?You would think they're in a bag,but wait,you must win another thing,it is called random drop system,I'm surprised they didn't add achievement for them,win a winned winning!I don't argue that boot is not a weapon,you can beat some one to death with it,but...nvm

[LtBubbles]

the gun boats are just incredibly useful
i just espected something more awesome looking or something cooler

[PunchedInFac]

i think ill forgo the gunboats when i equip the normal launcher for more equalizer damage.

but Direct hit+Gunboats is good too

but i love my shitty

heheh..Shotty
