The Shovel is the stock melee weapon of the Soldier class. It is depicted as a handheld folding Shovel, also known as an Entrenching Tool or Spade. Significant features include a splintered handle.
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.
