You lose you splash damage aim compensation with it, which isn't good when you only have 4 shots to make. If you have really good aim, it is an improvement.(._.) said:
I'll give you a Napper's for one.
There's nothing worse than being kritz'd when you're carrying a direct hit, but I disagree about bouncing. If your aim is immaculate it actually bounces more than the normal rocket launcher and does a mini-crit if you catch someone again mid-bounce which isn't too hard against non-scouts.Boonoo said:
Pretty much this. The regular rocket launcher does a ton of splash damage as is which is far more useful in most situations. Apart from taking out a sentry like java mentioned I really see no point in building your soldier game around the direct hit. The same can sort of be said with a lot of other weapons in the game. imo Scottish Resistance, Natasha, Force-A-Nature, Backburner, etc... are examples of weapons where the downsides outweigh the added ups. I think I loathe like half of the added weapons in the game.Boonoo said:
I think they work well in some situations. Some of them are also fun/funny to use. The alternative is a new weapon that's ery good, and then people may complain if (like the equalizer or maybe the ubersaw) it's almost completely better than the original one. I think I saw one or two people saying that the black box is almost completely better than the normal rocket launcher, so there you go -- I don't know that you can ever please everyone.(._.) said:

But at the same time, if you don't have a medic (or are in a spot where a medic can't reach you), the Black Box becomes very useful. It's also nice that it takes away some of the self-inflicted dmg in close combat. I think it's a good alternative, which more than I can say about the DH, though that one is fun to use as well.Drkirby said:
This is an interesting point that someone brought up on the kritzcast. Use the Black Box to rocket jump somewhere that a medic couldn't reasonably heal you (on top of point B in Gravel Pit for example); now you are much more self-sufficient up there due to the healing of the Black Box.Danne-Danger said:But at the same time, if you don't have a medic (or are in a spot where a medic can't reach you), the Black Box becomes very useful.

Would be nice if BB gave you 15HP for every guy you hit with the splash though.
It already does that, it's just the HUD always says +15, even if you heal 30, 45, etcDanne-Danger said:Would be nice if BB gave you 15HP for every guy you hit with the splash though.

Thanks dude, now my item collection is complete (minus obvious Golden Wrench)Remy said:
Nice. I have that except for the Sam and Max items (don't really care, never played those games anyway), the rocket jumper, and the polycount hats. I'm saving up metal for the hats, and I have two series 1 crates to get rid of.balladofwindfishes said:Thanks dude, now my item collection is complete (minus obvious Golden Wrench)

-Every vintage weapon
-All Polycount weapons
-All community weapons
-Frying Pan
-Sam and Max items
-Crit a Cola, GRU and Rocket Jumper
I never spent a dime at the Mann Co Store.
Also, did you craft the rocket jumper or find someone who had it dropped?cooljeanius said:
The CaC, Gru and Rocket Jumper are Valve made weapons, which I figured didn't fall into the other categories. I forgot Gunboats in that list, but that's such a forgettable weapon, it makes sense that I forgot it.Blizzard said:Nice.

Why did you list the GRU and rocket jumper separate from the polycount weapons?
Well said.Yasae said:
Once they add the ghost it should! But if they don't, we will be fine.Blizzard said:Does it drop one's framerate to 30 and below like Harvest?
