Charge shot mechanic
The player can press alt-fire to charge the weapon, which requires full energy (i.e. the Cow Mangler 5000 bar on the bottom right corner of the screen is full). Firing one depletes the energy, forcing the soldier to "reload".
It is possible to rocket jump with a normal shot, but not with a charged shot.
The weapon takes approximately 3 seconds to charge and the soldier moves at revved-heavy speed (roughly 37% of maximum speed, as opposed to his normal 80%) as he is charging the weapon. A charged shot can disable any Engineer's building for 4 seconds and deals mini-crits.
A charged shot ignites nearby enemies when it explodes. As well as the player who shot it if it explodes close to them. It can also ignite ally Sniper's Huntsman arrows.
