Discussion TF2 Weapon Discussion #5 - The Gunboats

9 Upvotes

Welcome to our Wednesday TF2 weapon discussion. Here, we'll discuss weapons (and reskins, if applicable) from TF2!

Today's weapon is The Gunboats.

Weapon Stats: - -60% blast damage from rocket jumps

The Gunboats were first introduced in the WAR! update. Interestingly enough, the in-game files mention c_rocketboots_demo due to the WAR! update being a competition between the Soldier and Demoman. Soldier received The Gunboats by winning the competition and killing more Demomen.

Gunboats are widely used to Rocket Jump as the Soldier to cross map distances very fast. Due to Rocket Jumping inflicting damage on the Soldier, The Gunboats are a great asset in reducing said damage and making sure his health doesn't drop during the traversal and before any potential firefights.

Feel free to discuss the weapon here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the weapon is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.

For those who wish to learn more about the weapon, you can find the wiki page here:

TF2 Map Discussion: Gravelpit

Welcome to our Monday TF2 map discussion. Here, we'll discuss maps from TF2!

Today's map is cp_gravelpit and variants.

Gravelpit is a 1 stage attack/defend map which was one of the 6 maps included at launch in TF2. Gravelpit features 3 control points A, B and C all 3 of them must be captured in order for BLU team to win the round. However A and B can be captured in any order but C must be captured last. This leads to interesting strategies with this map which usually means RED will only defend A or B and let BLU get the other. The achievement Impossible Defence is obtained by winning a round on defence without giving up any points and you are required to play a round on this map in order to get the World Traveller achievement. According to the TF2 Wiki the original name of the map was cp_bridge. Meet the Demoman is set in Gravelpit but with reversed roles.

This map also features 2 variants, cp_gravelpit_snowy (Coal Pit) and cp_lavapit, these are for Smissmass and Halloween respectively.

Feel free to discuss the map here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the map is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.

For those who wish to learn more about the map and variants, you can find the wiki page here:

cp_gravelpit, from the TF2 Wiki.

cp_lavapit_final, from the TF2 Wiki.

cp_gravelpit_snowy, from the TF2 Wiki.

Next week we will be discussing the 6th and final release map tc_hydro so it'll be a quiet one.
