The Disciplinary Action is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a Template:W with a wooden handle and a loose leather loop at the end.
Upon striking a teammate with this weapon, both the Soldier and the receiving teammate will receive up to a 40% speed boost (capped at Scout speed) for 4 seconds. The boost is indicated by speed lines surrounding the affected class, visible both to them and any other players. Multiple teammates can be boosted at once.
Additionally, the Disciplinary Action has a longer range than most melee weapons, slightly more so than the Eyelander. However, it deals 25% less damage to enemies.
