The Soldier is the all-rounder class of Team Fortress 2. Although he is rather slow in movement the Soldier has the second highest number of health points and can be effectively used in both offensive and defensive positions. As in Team Fortress Classic he battles opponents using his Rocket Launcher. By executing rocket jumps he can get to positions that are out of reach for other classes and is able to quickly return to the front.

    The weapons were added in the Australian Christmas 2011 update.

  • Original

    

    The Original is a promotional primary weapon for the Soldier. Styled after the Rocket Launcher from Quake (the model of which was used in the original Team Fortress mod for the Soldier's Rocket Launcher and the Pyro's Incendiary Cannon), it appears as a tan rocket launcher with a gray tubular exhaust port, bulky barrel, and a gray handle

  • Cow Mangler 5000

    
    • This weapon does not require ammo.
    • This weapon can fire a charged shot that mini-crits players and disables buildings for 4 sec.
    • No random critical hits
    • This weapon deals reduced damage to buildings.

    The Cow Mangler 5000 is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It appears to be a large bazooka-style retro-future ray gun.
    
    This weapon is able to fire 5 blasts of energy that delivers identical damage to players as the Rocket Launcher, but reduced damage aganst buildings. The Cow Mangler 5000 features a "Mangler" bar in the HUD which serves as an indication of its clip; after being depleted, it can be recharged through a reloading process. It does not feature the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons.
    
    When the Mangler bar is full, pressing and holding the secondary fire button will cause the weapon to begin charging up. During this process, the entire Mangler bar is consumed and the Soldier's movement speed is reduced to a third (from his standard 80% of normal speed to roughly 27%). This charging period lasts for 3 seconds, after which a single charged shot can be fired. This shot delivers additional base damage to players as well as dealing mini-crit damage. Additionally, enemies hit by this blast will suffer afterburn identical to that of the Flamethrower, albeit for half of the normal duration. This also allows the weapon to be used to ignite Huntsman arrows held by a friendly Sniper. The charged shot is further capable for disabling any building for a total of 4 seconds.
    
    Enemies killed by the Mangler suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air while team-colored fire particles surround them and disintegrate their body.

  • Liberty Launcher

    
    • +40% projectile speed
    • -25% clip size

    The Liberty Launcher is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an army green rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a scope with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.
    
    The Liberty Launcher's projectile travels at a rate of 1540 Hammer Units per second - roughly 66 mph - 40% faster than the Rocket Launcher's rockets. However, it can only have three rockets loaded at once.

  • Direct Hit

    
    • Damage (short range): 112 - 140
    • Damage (middle range): 50 - 90
    • Damage (long range): 25 - 60
    • Critical damage: 338
    • Mini-crit damage: 151
    • Shots: 4 Rockets
    • Total shots: 20 Rockets + 4 in the weapon
    • +80% projectile speed
    • +25% damage done
    • Mini-crits on airborne targets
    • -70% explosion radius

    As is right and proper for a soldier, this is a rocket launcher, though, with altered attributes. The radius of it's splash damage is reduced by 70%, conversely the rockets' speed is increased by 80%, the damage on direct hits is increased by 25% and airshots receive Mini-Crit hits additionally.

  • Rocket Launcher

    
    • Damage (short range): 105 - 112

    • Shots: 4 Rockets
    • Total shots: 20 + 4 in the Weapom

    By far the most famous and popular weapon in every first-person shooter is the Rocket Launcher. The reason why this high-impact fire weapon is so favored mainly lies in its versatility. It can not only be used as a means of attack but also aids the Soldier in movement as it allows him to quickly advance or reach higher platform by rocket jumping. The Rocket Launcher’s attack strength is the same in short and long range use and due to its splash damage, it is one of the worst enemies of sentries. However, as the rockets fly rather slowly, it is not very effective against moving targets at long distance. Since the Rocket Launcher can only hold four rockets at a time the Soldier needs to use them accurately and with a lot of aiming skill but this is not a problem after a little target practice.

  • Rocket Jumper

    
    • No self inflected blast damage taken
    • +200% max primary ammo on wearer
    • -100% damage done
    • Wearer cannot carry the intelligence briefcase

    The Rocket Jumper is a primary weapon replacement for the Soldier released with the Polycount Update, though not a part of the Soldier's Tank Buster Pack. It's special type of Rocket Launcher focused on learning to rocket jump, as the user neither deals nor receives damage upon firing. The Rocket Jumper also grants 200% max ammo on wearer, for extra practice of course

  • Black Box

    
    • On Hit: +15 health
    • -25% Clip size

    As a part of the Tank Buster Kit, this weapon replaces your primary Rocketlauncher.

  • Festive Buff Banner

    

    Provides an offensive buff that causes nearby team members to do mini-crits.

  • Righteous Bison

    
    • This weapon does not require ammo.
    • This weapon fires a projectile thatpenetrates enemy targets.
    • This weapon's projectiles cannot be deflected.
    • This weapon deals reduced damage to buildings.

    The Righteous Bison is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a handheld retro-future ray gun.
    
    This weapon fires an unreflectable projectile that delivers reduced damage against buildings, but is capable of piercing multiple targets. It does not feature the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons. Additionally, it can be used to light Huntsman arrows held by an enemy Sniper.
    
    Enemies killed by the Righteous Bison suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air while team-colored fire particles surround them and disintegrate their body.

  • Reserve Shooter

    
    • Mini-crits airborne targets for 3 seconds after being deployed
    • +15% faster weapon switch
    • -50% clip size

    The Reserve Shooter is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a pump-action shotgun with army green metal on the barrel and receiver and tan-wooden fore-end and stock.
    
    At the cost of having only three shells per clip, this weapon increases the speed in which the Soldier switches between weapons by 15%. Additionally, it is able to deliver mini-crits to airborne targets for 3 seconds after switching to it from another weapon. Unlike the Direct Hit, which has a similar effect, the mini-crits are awarded even if the enemy was not launched into the air by explosive damage.

  • Mantreads

    
    • 25% reduction in push force taken from damage
    • Deals 3x falling damage to the player you land on

    The Mantreads are secondary weapons for the Soldier. They are a pair of bulky leather boots with straps that keep them securely fastened to the Soldier's feet.
    
    When equipped, the Mantreads reduce the knock back received from sources such as Stickybombs by 75%. Should the player successfully fall a great distance and land on an enemy, the enemy will take triple the amount of fall damage that the player did.

  • Concheror

    
    • With buff, some damage Dished out by nearby teammates Comes back as healing

    The Concheror, is a promotional secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a light brown wooden box with dark brown corners and a quad diamond shaped insignia, accompanied by a conch shell. A white, slightly tattered, vertical banner flag with the same diamond insignia secured onto a pair of bamboo sticks appears when the banner call is played.
    
    The Concheror functions in a similar manner to the Buff Banner and the Battalion's Backup, as they provide a specified effect for surrounding teammates. This banner charges through a combination of either dealing or receiving damage. Like the Buff Banner, holding down the primary fire button will delay the effect until the button is released. While this banner's buff is active, allies within 450 units are healed for 35% of the damage they deal.
    
    Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011, were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

  • Gunboats

    
    • -60% damage by rocket jumps

    The Soldier\'s Gunboats replace his shotgun. They reduce the damage taken by rocket jumps and wall jumps by 60%

  • Buff Banner

    
    • 10 seconds Mini-crits for all near Team mates

    As with the medic, the buff banner charges a bar. It's charged by the damage which is dealt by the Soldier. When it's fully charged, the "Call to War" rings out. Team members in range gain Mini-crit hits for a maximum 10 seconds.

  • Battalion's Backup

    
    • Buff-Duration: 10 seconds
    • Buff-Range: 600 Units
    • Provides a defensive buff that protects nearby team members from crits and blocks 35% of incoming damage. Rage increases through damage taken.

    Through the suffering of damage, the "Rage-Meter" bar charges exactly like the Medic's ÜberCharge bar. After the activation of this Weapon, you and your comrades (in a radius of 600 Units) will get a buff, which reduces incomming damage by 35%.

  • Shotgun

    
    • Damage (short range): 80 - 90
    • Damage (middle range): 10 - 30
    • Damage (long range): 3 - 10
    • Mini-crit damage: 81

  • Conscientious Objector

    
    • This item functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

    The Conscientious Objector is a weapon equippable by all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is an uprooted road sign, with a worn sheet of paper bearing the Team Fortress 2 logo nailed onto the front; the image can be replaced with another by using the Decal Tool. The sign itself is ridden with nails, battered, bloodstained, and slightly crooked.
    
    This item functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

  • Frying Pan

    
    • Damage: 59 - 72
    • Minicrit-Damage: 88
    • Crit-Damage: 195

    People who own L4D2 or bought it (until Thursday, 07/10/2010) can look forward to this new melee weapon. It has no special extras, only a nice hitsound when beating your enemies.

  • Escape Plan

    
    • Move speed increases as the user becomes injured
    • Blocks healing while in use

  • Market Gardener

    
    • Deals crits while the wielder is rocket jumping
    • No random critical hits

    The Market Gardener is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is an entrenching shovel with a tan wooden handle fastened with green metal.
    
    The Market Gardener deals critical hits to enemies whilst the wielder is rocket jumping, but will not randomly crit otherwise.

  • Disciplinary Action

    
    • On Hit Ally: Boosts both players\' speed for 1 sec
    • -25% damage done

    The Disciplinary Action is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a riding crop with an old wooden handle and a faded brown leather whip.
    
    Upon striking a teammate with this weapon, both the Soldier and the receiving teammate will receive a 40% speed boost (capped at Scout speed) for four seconds. The boost is indicated by speed lines surrounding the affected class, visible both to them and any other players. As a downside, the riding crop deals 25% less damage to enemies. Multiple teammates can be boosted at once.

  • Equalizer

    
    • Damage increases as the user becomes injured
    • Blocks healing when in use

    The Equalizer gets more lethal, the more damage the soldier does take.

  • Shovel

    
    • Damage: 59 - 72
    • Mini-crit damage: 88
    • Critical damage: 195

    The Shovel may not look like the most advanced of short-range weapons but it is a very effective tool if wielded by the Soldier. He turns into a bloodthirsty monster and a great danger to all enemies once he draws it for melee combat. However, due to the normal attack speed, the Shovel does not deal more damage than most other TF2 melee weapons. Since the Soldier should primarily not engage in melee combat due to his slow movement speed, the Shovel is mainly used in situations that render the use of his fire weapons unfavorable or if the Soldier is simply out of ammo.
