— The Soldier on redistribution of health
|
” |
The Black Box is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It appears as a black, rectangular rocket launcher with rounded edges, sporting two fastening bands near the front end and case coverings hanging open at both ends of the weapon. The rear case covering swings idly.
For every enemy successfully hit with the Black Box, the player will be awarded 15 health points, regardless of how much damage is dealt; hitting one enemy awards 15 health, and hitting two rewards 30. The Soldier will not receive health if the target is a disguise-wearing Spy or an enemy under the effects of the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge, however health will still be awarded if the target is using Bonk!.
Unlike the Powerjack and Eyelander, health gained through Black Box hits cannot grant overheal. Health gains are indicated by the health counter in the Head-up display. The downside of this weapon is that it can only hold three rockets. This makes using the Black Box a good choice for improving survivability, at the expense of the amount of damage that can be dealt.
Should a Pyro successfully reflect a Black Box rocket in such a way that it collides with the shooter or another enemy, the health bonus will be given to the Pyro.

Update history
- The item was added to the game.
- This weapon was given a unique kill icon.
- Updated model with optimizations and new LODs.
- Fixed players getting a health bonus based on the weapon they're currently holding instead of the weapon that dealt the killing blow.
Bugs
- Like the Direct Hit, when reloading the Soldier's hand will animate as if he's putting in rockets; however, the rockets are heard, not seen.
- Hitting multiple targets with a single rocket will heal 15 HP for each player hit, but as this all happens at the same time, the HUD healing notification will only show one +15.
- The jiggle bones on the rear case cover cause it to vibrate in game.
Trivia
- The Black Box was originally based on the real world M202 FLASH incendiary Rocket Launcher, the four barrel holes were swapped for one due to gameplay issues.
- The Black Box was also the name of an unreleased compilation of the new content in The Orange Box.
- An early concept of the Black Box shows that it originally had a scope attached to it, much like the Direct Hit.
