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.
- Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
Bugs
- Upon drawing this weapon, the top of the Shovel will flip like rubber before standing up straight once the draw animation is completed.
- As the Soldier holds this weapon with one hand (the right hand that is) increasing the viewmodel field of view (EX: 120) the player is able to see the left arm of the soldier.
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 U.S. Army M-1943 entrenching tool.
- According to the Mac Update comic (not actual gameplay and considered non-canon), the Soldier's Shovel is highly flammable, will spontaneously catch fire, and can barely dig holes due to it being a Mann Co. product.
