The Soldier is a devastating, bulky predator who has an above average health and powerful rockets, but he lags behind with his cumbersome speed and ammo.
Contents
General
- Keeping your distance will negate much of the Soldier's rocket power.
- His slow mobility can cripple his attempt to catch up with a retreat.
Weapon Specific
A list of useful tidbits about the Soldier's tools, and how to counter them.
Rocket Launchers
- Rockets move slow. Try to dodge them by strafing left and/or right.
Rocket Launcher
Direct Hit
- The Direct Hit can one-hit-kill weaker classes at close range. Keep your distance.
Black Box
- Mobility is key as this Rocket Launcher will grant the Soldier with more health each time he hits you.
- Reflecting rockets from the Black Box will instead grant you the health bonus if it hits an enemy.
- The Soldier has less ammunition before he needs to reload, granting you an opening when he does.
Rocket Jumper
- Although there is practically no use in serious gameplay, the Soldier might use this to assault higher positions, so tread carefully with a height advantage.
Shotgun
Banners
- Target the Soldier when his banner is active to quickly end the team buff.
- Friendly Soldiers will take advantage of banner buffs to charge their own banners. Take them out before they do so.
Buff Banner
- Activating the Battalion's Backup will protect you from the Mini-Crit buff of an enemy Soldier's Buff Banner.
- The Mini-Crit buff has a short range, encouraging the team to cluster. Use rockets, grenades, and stickies to break up or kill the team.
Battalion's Backup
- Watch out for a Soldier with this when Übercharging with the Kritzkrieg since it renders the effect null.
Gunboats
- Soldiers using the Gunboats often take the high ground. Prevent this from happening, as on the ground, the Soldier is less effective without his Shotgun.
Shovel / Frying Pan
Equalizer
- If an enemy Soldier is running quickly with the Equalizer out, it may be more useful to try and pick him off with a hitscan weapon such as the Shotgun or Pistol.
Pain Train
The Tank Buster
