If you know what's good for ya, you will run! Click to listen — The Soldier

”

The Escape Plan is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a weathered and well-used pickaxe.

Once this weapon is equipped, it has the unique ability to increase the movement speed of the player as their health is diminished. Consequently, the weapon blocks healing from all Medic weapons when it is being used in game. Players wielding it are also unable to call for Medics. Its critical hit animation is a backhanded swing, striking the enemy with the sharp end of the weapon.

The Escape Plan was originally added to the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Split Equalizer 1, and was consequently added to the game in the June 27, 2012 Patch.

The Escape Plan is automatically given to any player who owned an Equalizer prior to the June 27, 2012 Patch with the same quality as the aforementioned Equalizer. In addition, if the Equalizer was named with a Name Tag, the Escape Plan will be identically named.
