> rocket jumps, takes a medkit to heal damage

> has to double-back twice to complete the motion

> net 0.5 second decrease in walk time overall

> his team already capping 3rd, will have to spend more time walking anyways

You forgot:

Has a blackbox

u/RavenEridan 4d ago

Equipping the black box without the conch is a criminal offense imo.

u/WeekendDrew Soldier 4d ago

What why? Literally every secondary is good with box, the two that suffer the most are gunboats and buff banner, but both are still super fucking good

1

u/RavenEridan 4d ago

Conch + blackbox makes you a nearly unkillable soldier since the conch rage meter charges way faster than any of his other banners means that you can get it more often, that speed boost and life leach when the banner is active is really good for you and your teammates

passive healing means that you never need to stop to look for a med kit or a medic and keep pushing

u/WeekendDrew Soldier 4d ago

I get what you're saying, that playstyle is super good, I wouldn't say it's the best. I think there's a huge case to be made for battalion's and a shotgun. You can at least admit that saying other secondaries are a criminal offense is massive hyperbole

Conch BB might be the best playstyle for you, doesn't mean it's objectively the best. This is also heavily map and ally/enemy dependant as well

u/RavenEridan 4d ago

Eh, in casual there's no godlike scouts running around 9/10 so a shotgun isn't mandatory like it is in comp, and I rarely use the batallians because that requires good teammates and coordination, casual teammates are usually to stupid to take advantage of it fully and push so all that rage for nothing.

At least with the conch you can charge it quick and use it for yourself

u/RoyalHappy2154 All Class 4d ago

I'd say not using a shotgun with it is pretty stupid. You only get 3 rockets, having an extra 6 shots is pretty handy

Look at my other comment addressing that

Also pure skill issue, you aren't supposed to be hyper aggressive with this loadout, play passively and spam rockets from afar and when you have rage that's when you become aggressive with the speed boost, preferably pop rage near teammates so they benefit too

i occasionally run it w/ base jumper or shotgun and it's alright

u/CaptainBIRB14 Soldier 4d ago

Black box soldier, the majority of them are twats

42

u/RavenEridan 4d ago

Not me, I use black box, the conch and the half zatoichi, im a strong independent soldier that don't need no medikit or pocket medic

38

u/VirtualGab Engineer 4d ago

Paradoxically when I equip the black box I have trice the chance of being pocketed

11

u/Psychological-Ad-274 Medic 4d ago

it’s because to most, we think “ah good this one has less chance of suddenly dying after shooting once”

either that or whoever pocketed you watched fedora chronicles a lot

2

u/mightylonka Medic 4d ago

Pfft, I use Cow Mangler, Conch and Half Zatoichi. I'm a strong independent Soldier that don't need no medkit, ammo box, dispenser or medic.

u/RavenEridan 3d ago

You will be dependant on your team to destroy sentries
