The Panzer Pants is an [[Action]] [[taunt]] released as a part of the [[Scream Fortress 2018]] update. When activated, the Soldier gets into a small drivable tank with a functioning gun. The shots fired are purely cosmetic and do not deal any damage.

“ ”

The Panzer Pants are a special taunt for the Soldier.

When activated, the Soldier stands at attention before a small tank pops up from the ground below and around him, which he proceeds to drive. Pressing Primary Fire (default key: MOUSE1) makes the Soldier fire a shot and say a voiceline. The shots are purely cosmetic and do not deal any damage to enemies. Ending the taunt causes the tank to explode, and the Soldier jumps out with a backflip.

The Soldier continuously drives the tank forward, being impossible to stop or reverse; it is possible to steer left and right, though. When steering, the Soldier turns to the side together with the tank's cannon, allowing players to shoot slightly to the sides as well.
