The '''Gunboats''' are a passive [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for the [[Soldier]], and a passive [[:Category:Primary weapons|primary]] weapon for the [[Demoman]]. When equipped, they appear as a large pair of lead-plated soles that are bolted onto the user's existing boots. They appear on the user's model regardless of which weapon they have active.

The '''Gunboats''' are a passive [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for the [[Soldier]], and a passive [[:Category:Primary weapons|primary]] weapon for the [[Demoman]]. When equipped, they appear as a large pair of lead-plated soles that are bolted onto the user's existing boots. They appear on the user's model regardless of which weapon they have active. The user's footsteps will also sound significantly heavier.

When equipped, ~~The~~ user cannot select the Gunboats as a weapon, and loses the use of either the ~~Rocket Launcher~~ or the Grenade Launcher. In exchange, the user takes 60% less damage from their own explosive weapons. However, if the user's explosion damages an enemy player (excluding enemy buildings), the reduction is ignored and the user takes full self-damage. Despite the loadout description, the reduction is applied regardless if the user is jumping. The Soldier's passive 60% damage reduction when rocket jumping stacks multiplicatively with the Gunboats. The distance traveled when explosive jumping is unchanged from normal. The user still takes fall damage, and damage from enemy explosions, as normal.

== Trivia ==

* While Team Fortress 2 ~~Classic~~ allows the Gunboats to be used by by both the Soldier and Demoman, Team Fortress 2 only allows the Soldier to use them. This is because the Gunboats were released as a prize for the Soldier during the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/WAR!_Update WAR! Update], and would have been given to the Demoman had he won instead.

* While ''Team Fortress 2 Classified'' allows the Gunboats to be used by by both the Soldier and Demoman, ''Team Fortress 2'' only allows the Soldier to use them. This is because the Gunboats were released as a prize for the Soldier during the "[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/WAR!_Update WAR! Update]", and would have been given to the Demoman had he won instead.

* Despite the Soldier's backpack describing them as "lead shoe inserts", they are very clearly worn on the outside of his shoes. Furthermore, the Demoman's backpack describes "screws drilled into your feet", which not only contradicts the prior description, but also aren't even screws.

* The Gunboats is one of five non-Stock weapons ported from live ''Team Fortress 2'', the others being the [[Flare Gun]], [[Sandvich]], [[Kritzkrieg]] and [[Huntsman]].
