“

We have you surrounded, at least from this side! Click to listen — The Soldier on the air strike.

”

The Air Strike is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a green atom bomb-shaped rocket launcher with a white checkered pattern near the front with tannish wooden handles. It fires a green and white missile with fins on the front and back of the projectile.

While rocket jumping, its attack speed is increased by 65%. In addition, on each kill using the weapon, its clip size is increased by one, up to 8 rockets after 5 kills. The projectiles fired by this weapon deal 25% less damage and have a 15% smaller explosion radius. As a hidden attribute, rocket jumping with the Air Strike causes 25% less damage to the Soldier.

If an Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron wielding Demoman kills a Soldier with kills on the counter, the number of kills will be transferred over to the Demoman's head count, as well as the Soldier's own head.

The Air Strike was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Atom Launcher".
