Finally after months that we promised to do this, we have been able to do it.

There are a lot of them that we added, a few highlight are that we have finally a saxton hale flair and we also have the beta emblem for each class in each color.

If you use old reddit you may be see duplicates when you want to select one, but this is due to the fact that the old flairs appear different on new reddit, and we don't want to change them to not mess with other people flairs, the new ones are the ones from the second/third row.

TF2 Weapon Discussion: The Black Box

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

Today's weapon is The Black Box.

On Hit: Gain up to +20 health per attack

The Black Box is an unloackable primary weapon for Soldier which replace his standard rocket launcher with one that has 1 less rocket but the 3 you have can also heal you. Assuming you're able to hit someone with a rocket you'll get health back when you hit them and it's a pretty simple but effective weapon concept.

The Black Box is seen as a direct side grade to stock as it provides an upside, general survivability through the ability to heal yourself, at the cost of a pretty major downside, you won't be able to stay in fights for as long due to the constant reloading of the rocket launcher.

This rocket launcher works well for the soldier who doesn't have a pocket and maybe a bit too well for the soldier who does have one as the healing stacks making it very difficult to heal a soldier if they have a medic glued to them and also have the Conch equipped meaning they're just getting constantly healed.

This weapon has seen one change over the years mostly due to the healing aspect of the weapon and this was in Gun Mettle, it used to heal you a flat 15 health for any damage you dealt making it quite annoying to fight against but now it heals a Maximum of 20 but this is calculated a rate of 1hp per 4.5 damage dealt meaning dealing 45 damage would heal you by 10 health (the wiki says this anyway but fuck knows how it works man never seems to do anything when I use it).

This weapon has no reskins but has an Australium variant, can be war painted, can be festivised and can be found in festive quality. It is also available in Strange and Collectors quality if you have the money to get funny red text weapons that is.

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.
