| |
| − | The '''Soldier''' is a crazed patriot from America's heartland. Tough and well-armed, he's versatile, capable on both offense and defense, and a great starter class to get familiar with the game.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Soldier is well known for his spectacular [[Jumping#Soldier jumps|rocket jump]]. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can detonate a rocket at his feet and launch himself skyward at the cost of some health. This ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the [[Scout]]'s [[Jumping#Double jump|double jump]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The two grenades on the Soldier's character model cannot be used unless the player finishes the [[Kamikaze]] [[Taunt#Special taunts|taunt]], which can only be used when the [[Equalizer]] is equipped.

| − | | description = Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949.
