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, unless the damage is dealt by the splash radius of a rocket jump. They also do not prevent fall damage suffered by the player.
The Gunboats allow the Soldier to maintain the additional mobility from rocket jumping while not being dependent on the Medic's help to keep him from killing himself from self-inflicted splash damage.
This weapon was revealed as the prize for the Soldier's victory in the WAR! Update.
