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]]d [[Spy]] or an enemy under the effects of an [[ÜberCharge]], however health will still be awarded if the target is a [[Scout]] under the effects of [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]]. 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 its amount of loaded rockets is reduced by one. This makes using the Black Box a good choice for improving survivability, at the expense of the amount of damage that can be dealt.

Template:Nihongo is a media franchise published and owned by the video game company Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996. Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games developed by Game Freak, Pokémon has since become the second most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario series.[1] Pokémon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media. The franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006,[2] and Template:As of, cumulative sales of the video games (including home console versions, such as the "Pikachu" Nintendo 64) have reached more than 200 million copies.[3] 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

September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)

  • The Black Box was added to the game.

January 7, 2011 Patch

February 14, 2011 Patch

March 11, 2011 Patch

  • 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 jigglebones on the rear case cover cause it to vibrate in game.
  • While reloading, it is possible to force the reload animation to loop endlessly by holding both the left and right mouse button after reloading at least one rocket.
  • This weapon clips with the Soldier's right shoulder, and some hats.

Trivia

  • The Black Box was originally based on the real world Template:W incendiary Rocket Launcher, the four barrel holes were swapped for one due to gameplay issues.
  • Template:W was 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.
  • Black boxes (which are actually orange, so they can be found in the wreckage) are used to record what happened in the cockpit prior to a plane crash.
    • The true coloring of these devices is what gave rise to the name of The Orange Box

Gallery

  • First-person view.

  • Projectile.
