The boston basher is a melee weapon for [[Scout]], which is very useful for competitive game types. For both 6v6 and 9v9, the boston basher is used for building ubercharge, or kritzkrieg charge. When you do not hit anything with the boston basher, you damage yourself, making the charge fill up faster. If you have an uber disadvantage, building with the boston basher will get uber much faster than healing a full health target. The alternate way of building is the soldier shooting the ground under him, damaging himself. This method is less ideal because if you aren't near an ammo pack, the soldier will run out of ammo quickly. You will only be able to build ubercharge with the boston basher during [[stalemates]], because if it is not a stalemate, the enemy team can jump in and kill you because of the damage you dealt to yourself.

Gunboats

24.13.81.68: /* Overview */

== Overview ==
The Gunboats are a secondary weapon for the Soldier which reduces blast damage from rocket jumps by 60%. The damage reduction is not applied to self-inflicted damage from rockets that injure enemies and do not provide the Soldier with reduced fall damage. When equipped by a roaming Soldier, the Gunboats allow him to transition quickly throughout the map.

The advantages of gunboats are mostly used by roaming soldiers in 6v6 competitive, and sometimes by the soldier in higherland (9v9). They reduce the need of heals, and increase mobility.

The disadvantages of gunboats are that on rollout, it's difficult to use the escape plan to middle because you take reduced damage, and that you cannot use the shotgun, so your fire power is reduced by a large amount.
