Soldier Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies.

Normal variants

Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Soldier	Rocket Launcher	—

Soldier bots behave like human Soldiers, rushing into battle using with their Rocket Launchers as a primary means of attack. By itself the Soldier bot isn't a terrible threat, but nothing in this game mode comes "alone". A squad of Soldier bots becomes a quick problem as you may be faced with a barrage of rockets coming your way. Soldier Robots reload when they have time, and fire when they see an enemy.

Buff Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Secondary	Melee	Attributes
	Buff Soldier	Rocket Launcher	Buff Banner	Shovel	Spawns with full rage

Buff Soldiers have Buff Banners and start with full rage. They use their banners as soon as they spawn, and can be dangerous if fought right when they enter the map.

With extended buffs that last up to 90 seconds long, these Soldiers can keep their allies beefed up for most of their journey across the map. They come in Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup and Concheror variants.

Another variant of the Extended Buff Soldier, exclusive to Caliginous Caper, uses the Direct Hit in combination with the Buff Banner. Unlike the other variants, these Soldiers do not have "Extended Buff" in their names, and use the regular Soldier bot icon.

Black Box Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Black box Soldier	Black Box	Fires 3 rockets at once

This Soldier heals itself upon hitting an enemy. To ensure a full recovery of the damage taken, it fires 3 rockets at once.

Giant Robots

Giant Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Soldier	Rocket Launcher	3800 HP  +60% knockback resistance  -50% move speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

A giant version of the regular Soldier robots, with greatly increased health, slower movement speed, but wielding the same Rocket Launcher as his smaller counterpart.

Giant Rapid Fire Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Rapid Fire Soldier	Rocket Launcher	3800 HP  +60% knockback resistance  Fires twice as fast  400% faster reload  -50% move speed  -35% projectile speed

Giant Rapid-Fire Soldiers fire rockets continuously, at a faster rate than regular Giant Soldiers.

Giant Charged Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Charged Soldier	Original	3800 HP  +60% knockback resistance  100% crit chance  -50% move speed  -50% projectile speed  -20% slower reload

Equipped with the Original, Giant Charged Soldiers always fire critical hit rockets. The rockets move more slowly, though, at half the speed of regular rockets, and can be easily dodged by wary players.

Giant Burst Fire Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Burst Fire Soldier	Rocket Launcher	4200 HP  +60% knockback resistance  2.0x damage dealt  100% crit chance  60% faster reload rate  +80% faster firing speed  +5 rockets in clip  -50% move speed  -10% slower projectile speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

Similar to the Giant Charged Soldier, but does not fire until it has a full clip reloaded. When it does, it will shoot a flurry of rockets that are shot out in a very rapid succession. Players should be aware of when it's firing and when it's reloading; an unaware and unattentive player will likely result in a quick death.

Giant Buff Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Secondary	Attributes
	Giant Buff Banner Soldier	Rocket Launcher	Buff Banner	3800 HP  +60% knockback resistance  Spawns with full rage  +800% longer buff duration  -50% move speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

Giant versions of the regular Buff Soldiers with more health than them, but also move slower and use the same weapon.

Sergeant Crits

Icon	Name	Primary	Hat	Attributes

This is the juggernaut of all the Soldier robots. Similar to the Giant Soldier, Giant Charged Soldier and the Giant Burst Fire Soldier, it will not fire until it has a full clip reloaded. When it does, it will shoot all of its crit rockets in rapid succession, killing anyone who is unaware or even too close to the attack. All players must take extreme caution to eliminate this robotic threat, as its extremely high health, health regeneration and crit-boosted rockets can be a major problem.

Giant Black Box Soldier

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Black Box Soldier	Black Box	Fires 3 rockets at once  3800 HP  +60% knockback resistance  -50% move speed  Does not fire until fully reloaded

Similar to its smaller counterpart, it has the ability to heal itself entirely upon hitting an enemy, and fires 3 rockets in a single blast. It can easily carry the bomb all the way to the hatch or capture a gate if it keeps dealing out damage to heal itself. Otherwise, it has the same attributes as the Giant Soldier.

With a huge health pool equal to that of Sergeant Crits' this Soldier will also throw players around the room to make it harder to target him.

Colonel Barrage

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Colonel Barrage	Rocket Launcher	+26 rockets in clip  +78% faster reload rate  +80% faster firing speed  Regenerates 40 HP per second  1.5x damage dealt  +60% knockback resistance  Extra +90% vertical airblast resistance  4000 HP  Provides 90% less rage  -60% projectile speed  5 degree rocket spread  Does not fire until fully reloaded  -50% move speed
