The melee weapon of the [[Soldier]] class is a folding '''Shovel''' (also known as ''Entrenching Tool'' or ''Spade''). Dealing significant damage, the Shovel is a good alternative to the [[Shotgun]] when an opponent is too close to safely use the [[Rocket Launcher]]. For its [[Critical hit]] animation, the Soldier swings it from the left in a backhand motion.

*The Shovel the Soldier wields in the Mac Update comic is a Mann Co. product, prone to spontanous combustion and has been owned by the Soldier for twelve years.

The Soldier's exclamation "It barely digs holes!" is a reference to this.
