Update history
- Added new swing animations.
Trivia
- The Critical hit animation is the same manner of attack the Soldier uses to take out the Spy in Meet the Soldier.
- In the World Wars, standard-issue knives and bayonets were sometimes substituted or even replaced by sharpened field shovels, which were used to great effect as improvised hand axes. Curiously, the Soldier's tool seems unmodified.
- The tool's real-life counterpart is the US M-1943 entrenching tool.
- According to the Mac update comic (not actual gameplay and non-canon), the Soldier's Shovel is highly flammable and will spontaneously catch fire as it is made by Mann Co.
