Well after a week of people furiously spamming soldier and demoman, we have a winner. The update is live now, with all the soldier and demoman weapons, new achievements and glorious crafting system now accessible. But what about that mysterious bonus weapon? Who won?
Well, as I’d hoped; the soldier. What did he get? Boots.
You heard me.
The Gunboats are a secondary slot item, meaning that if you wish to use them, you have to say goodbye to the shotgun/bugle. What do they do? They minimize rocket jump damage. I can see SOME use in that, but honestly, I’d rather have the shotgun. Wouldn’t it of been better to create a whole new slot for feet, or at least made this into a hat/misc item?
Either way, I’m actually not that impressed by this. What do you guys think though? Would you sacrifice the slot for the ability not to run for a medkit when you skip up to the third floor?

I don’t know, I’m not entirely impressed with the Soldier update. Especially boots? Really? No thank you. As what uberedsniper and I were discussing a while ago, a frilly training bra could’ve worked so he could strangle people.
Then Demoman and Soldier would both be able to do something with heads! Too bad you can’t strangle people to death, though.
Anyway, going back to the topic: Give me the shotgun so I can kill more people. That’s why there’s pills and medics around for saxton hale’s sake.
