You kids today don't know how to dominate. Click to listen — The Soldier fondly remembering his origins

”

The Original is a promotional primary weapon for the Soldier. Styled after the Rocket Launcher from Quake, it is a tan rocket launcher with a gray tubular exhaust port, bulky barrel and a gray handle.

Like in the original Quake, the Original's viewmodel is in the bottom-center of the screen and rockets launch straight into the crosshair. The world model remains in the same position as the Rocket Launcher.

The Original is awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchase Quake 4 before August 7, 2011.
