Generally... What the ♥♥♥♥ is this ♥♥♥♥?
Look at this!
  • It's a box
YES!
BUT THERE'S MORE!
Uhh.
It shoots rockets...
It's a box how is this even considered a weapon.
OH WAIT I FOUND SOME INFO!

HERE IT IS!
THE
FESTIVE
BLACK BOX!
Oh this makes it so much better.
"The Festive Black Box"
I mean it's not even black anymore!
Also it's still just a pretty plain box.


♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WHAT'S THIS!?
An AUSTRALIUM BLACK BOX!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This must be worth millions!!!!!
But still.
Why call it "Australium Black Box" and not just "Australium Box", where the ♥♥♥♥ is the black on this thing?
P.S. The Australium Box is not worth millions.


I don't get it...


I don't get The Black Box....


MOVING ON!
What makes this worse than the "stock" rocket launcher?
We haven't even got to look at the stats for this thing yet.
Incase you're curious or forgot, here they are.
-25% clip size?
Oh that's nothing, you say?
If you're with one less rocket, there's gonna be one less rocket to have fun and play with.
One less rocket to rocket jump.
One less rocket to do fancy airshots.
One less rocket to kill things.
Also, the reload time is the same as stock.
And you know that the stock's reload time is DAMN SLOW. If you use this, you'll find yourself shooting and reloading the last rocket over and over again fairly often.

If you were to rocket jump assault someone, you would have one less rocket to shoot while you're airborne.
That rocket could be the last rocket required to kill everything you were attacking, but you just had to go with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Black Box.

Oh and what benefit do you get?
  • Up to +20 hp per attack.
That's the uselessest benefit there is.
"Uselessest"?
Is that a word?
Whatever moving on.
If you're a soldier you're the kind of guy who expects a medic to heal you, right?
Why do you need health from a weapon when you got a medic?

Also, 20 hp isn't that much.
If you need healing, then getting a medikit is 100 times easier than wasting all of your ammo.
There's nothing but downsides to this weapon.

MOVING ON!
AGAIN!



The people using it.
Last, but certainly not least: The people using The Black Box!

ALL OF THEM!
STRANGE OR NOT!

The majority of users using The Black Box are all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ same.
First of all they really care about the kill count on their black box if it is strange, but there's not really any difference between a player with 10 kills on a strange black box and a player with 10000 kills on a black box.
What's worst is their excuses, and most of them say, that it's just because of the weapon that they're using.

Most black box users never ever EVER airshot. Why? Because they need to spare ammo.
(Yet they do their "flawless" rocket jumps a lot)
Also a rocket, that directly hits a player (it does in an airshot unless it's some wall behind the player that the rocket hits.) will do the most damage a single rocket can do. And if you can't airshot, stop complaining about the fact that you can't, and practice so that you CAN airshot!

Also, a lot of Black Box users use the black box along with the Concheror. (An item that passively heals you as time goes)
Why? To get more health.
Why do they need more health? Isn't the point of the Black Box to compensate for hp needs? Why need to waste another loadout slot on healing? Are they a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ medic?

That being said most players say that they use the Black Box due to the fact, that there are no medics, and they need healing from something else.
Why isn't the medikits enough? And what is so bad about waiting a little for a medikit unless you're dying from fire (or bleeding)? The healing from the Black Box isn't even that quick, and the clip size of 3 makes you have less rockets left to use in order to escape in dire sitations.

What bothers me the most is how the Black Box users completely ignore the importance of the last rocket (which is why i think they use it in the first place). If you've played a lot of soldier with the stock rocket launcher, then the last rocket WILL save your ass COUNTLESS TIMES. I know that, and I'm not even a soldier main or whatever it's called.
The End.
If you're using the Black Box even after reading this, fine!
I didn't make this guide simply to make you not use the Black Box, but rather to express my opinion about this stupid crap .

If I broke your heart, then you need to consider getting a stronger heart.

If you are butthurt, then try to rest your butt a little.

I'm butthurt.
I'll rest my butt a little.





♥♥♥♥ you, Black Box.

I personally feel crippled when using the black box, however, with the conch it can provide decent healing for those who like it. It can increase your survivability while camping because with each player hit it adds more health. Basically if you fire one rocket and hit three people, you will get 60 health, and still be able to fire more rockets. Add the conch to that and you got a great camping technique. However, you should save that primary slot for the most overpowered primary weapon, the rocket jumper.

It's actually true.
At first I loved the balck box,what an awesome weapon!
But now I see what the clip size does to me...
Still,the healing is usefull and I aint that good at airshots yet.
If I get an australium normal rocket launcher,I'll use that one.

Technically speaking there isn't really a "Bad" weapon in tf2 it mostly revolves around 1. Your all around skill 2. What situation your using it in, and 3. The people your using it against. So really theres technically no such thing as a bad tf2 weapon but if you wanna say something is bad go ahead im not stopping you.
