The Gunboats are a secondary weapon for the Soldier. They are a pair of modified metal-reinforced Template:W used by paratroopers.
The Gunboats reduce the amount of self-damage that is received from rocket jumping. The damage reduction does not apply to rockets that injure other enemies. They also do not prevent fall damage suffered by the player.
This weapon was revealed as the prize for the Soldier's victory in the WAR! Update.
