| − | :I'm not sure, but I know it is possible to survive it normally by using the last weapon key to switch weapons to something other than the equalizer, so you can be healed while executing the taunt. [[User:Hackett|Hackett]] 15:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::The Gunboats do nothing to aid you in survival in this situation. A bug previously existed which would lower the amount of damage took from the taunt, but it was corrected and patched a while ago. The way to survive the taunt is by being over-healed, using the weapon switch taunt glitch, allowing you to taunt with the Equalizer, and then quickly switch back to a weapon which will allow your Medic to continue healing you throughout the Equalizer taunt animation. Which obviously will mean you can survive the explosion and fall damage, even without a low roof. [[User:Infi^|Infi^]] 15:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | == The one of the very few cases the Shovel is useful? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | What with the Black Box and the Back-Up, you can easily heal yourself while building up the rage quickly, which then increases your defense and is completely resistance against crits (and applies to the allies around you). Since you'll have a lot of health for most of the time, and since the Equalizer's damage is only the same as the Shovel at 121 health, could this be one of the few cases where the Shovel is better than the Equalizer?
| |
| − | | |
| − | And I say that it is one of the very few cases, since the strategy mentions that the Equalizer is a straight-upgrade from the Shovel. [[User:AbeX300|AbeX300]] 21:11, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | :I would argue that simply because the Black Box can heal and the Backup can reduce damage does not mean that a Soldier using these items is always going to be at high health. In the unavoidable situation when the Soldier gets damaged quite a bit, the Equalizer's main use is not actually damage necessarily but a means of quickly escaping danger. The one real use for the Shovel that I can see is if a Soldier was paired up with a very reliable pocket Medic who is keeping you topped up with health along with using the Black Box and not using the Shotgun -- you could Shovel for close quarters engagements without breaking the Medigun beam, letting the Medic continuously keep you alive and build Übercharge. I'm personally still of the opinion that the Soldier's melee slot is one of the few instances in the game where one option is always better -- the Equalizer.--[[User:Aranarth|Aranarth]] 06:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | I usually go with melee weapons to kill spies that get too close, even as the soldier. Once the spy backs off, finish him with rockets or the shotgun. The equalizer and whip do less damage at full health. [[User:K-Raider NL|K-Raider NL]] 02:25, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

| − | == Battalion's Backup xx Pain Train ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is there any confirmation that the increased damage Pain Train's 10% bullet vulnerability accurately reflects itself in the Backup's rage generation?
| |
| − | | |
| − | I would guess so, and want to since it makes for a nice synergy, but there's always the possibility that the way it calculates the rage might not account for the 10% increase.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some random thought, anyway. [[User:Gerk|Gerk]] 02:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :I've just now tested this, and you're right. The rage generated is identical. Tested it with a sniper bot getting bodyshots, with no damage spread. 150 damage taken and 165 damage taken result in an identical rage meter. I guess now the question is: does another soldier's backup reduce rage taken? [[User:Unapologetically Bad|Unapologetically Bad]] 18:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | == How does Falloff Damage work? ==
| |
| − | I heard that falloff damage for the Rocket Launchers was calculated based on how far the Soldier was from the blast center at the time of the explosion ''rather'' than the exact location where it was fired. Is this true? --[[User:Bri|Bri]] 12:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just tested this in a listen server with damage spread disabled. Dealt a consistent -48. Turned noclip on, fired a rocket the enemy bot, then quickly moved in front of him. The damage dinged at -108. Therefore, falloff damage is calculated where the Soldier is at the time of damage and not where the rocket spawned. Gonna add that to the Strategy page now. :) --[[User:Bri|Bri]] 18:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | * The Black Box can be used to [[Spy-check]] as well, '''as it will display the +15 health bonus when hitting a cloaked or disguised Spy'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Enemy Scouts under the effect of [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]] will still replenish health when hit with the Black Box''', though always keep an eye on the number of remaining rockets in order not to run out of them when Bonk!'s effect wears off, and remember to avoid being caught in the rockets' splash radius.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the article [[Black_Box]] says:
| |
| − | :The Soldier '''will not receive health if the target is a disguised Spy''' or an enemy under the effects of an ÜberCharge, '''however health will still be awarded if the target is a Scout under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch'''.<br>

| − | == Aerials == | |
| − | | |
| − | I recently did some research on airshots. It turns out the best way of getting your enemy airborne is hitting their feet, rather than near their feet. The heavy is extremely hard to get airborne. Enemy soldiers can be launched high enough to hit them again in mid-air. I'm not sure if the soldier is heavier than other classes. Once you get an enemy up in the air, hit him again if you can. If that's too hard, shooting a rocket where he will land is a good alternative. The rest comes down to a lot of practice.
| |
| − | Now where should we put this? [[User:K-Raider NL|K-Raider NL]] 02:21, 26 June 2012 (PDT)
| |
| − | :Still waiting for feedback. I think we should put some tips on aerials at the top of the page, as all rocket launcher can be used for 'airshots'. [[User:K-Raider NL|K-Raider NL]] 02:26, 1 July 2012 (PDT)

| − | | |
| − | == Equalizer's Split ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Seeing as the Equalizer's effect has been split with the Escape plan, a lot of the weapon strategies probably need updating. Would it be easier to just add 'Or Escape Plan' to them, or should a section mentioning the Equalizer be changed entirely to the Escape Plan, seeing as the Escape Plan now fits the role of a quick escape, and the Soldiers slow speed means the damage of the Equalizer wouldn't aid him much in most situations.
