— The Soldier

”

The Shovel is the default melee weapon of the Soldier. It appears as a hand-held folding shovel, also known as an Template:W or spade with a splintered handle.

Dealing significant damage, the Shovel is a good alternative to the Shotgun when an opponent is too close to safely use the Rocket Launcher. For its critical hit animation, the Soldier swings it from the left in a backhand motion.

Update history

April 29, 2008 Patch (Gold Rush Update)

Added new swing animations.

February 14, 2011 Patch

Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).

Trivia

The critical hit animation is the same manner of attack the Soldier uses to take out the Spy in Meet the Soldier.
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, and can barely dig holes because it is made by Mann Co.
