“ | I have personally killed 6,078 men in cold blood while looking them in the eye; jumped on 1,455 live grenades; and stuffed fourteen feet of my own intestine back into my stomach.
If that doesn't scare you out of your frilly pink leotards, guess what: You are an idiot and you hate America. — The Soldier on real fear
|
” |
A crazed patriot from the heart of America, the Soldier is the bread and butter general assault unit of the team. Although he's one of the easier to understand classes, he is far from the weakest. Equipped with his Rocket Launcher and 200 Health Points to spare, the Soldier is a highly versatile class for both offensive and defensive roles, and a great starter class to get familiar with the game.
The Soldier is also well known for his spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can shoot a rocket at his feet to launch himself skyward at the cost of some health. This ability allows the Soldier to pop up in unexpected places and reach areas off-limits even to the Scout's double-jump.
The Soldier is voiced by Rick May.

The Soldier tosses away his Equalizer, cracks his knuckles, takes a grenade off of his belt, sets it, thrusts his fist in the air, and explodes, killing himself and any nearby enemies, buildings included. Having the rocket jumper equipped will prevent any self-inflicted damage. |

Bugs
- If a Primary weapon is fired when the player is initially spawned into the game, a continuous loop of the reload animation can occur. This can be remedied by firing another shot.
Trivia
- The Soldier has made several posts on the TF2 Official Blog.
- The Soldier's voice actor and the Engineer's voice actor have both voiced the character Template:W from Nintendo's Template:W series: Rick May (the Soldier) in Template:W, and Grant Goodeve (the Engineer) in Template:W.
- In Template:W, an image of the BLU Soldier makes a cameo as the King card for the black suits (spades and clubs) in the "TF2" card deck.
- In Template:W, the Soldier's helmet appears as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
- The Soldier's beta emblem was a helmet instead of a rocket.
