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, the model of which was used in the original Team Fortress mod for the Soldier's Rocket Launcher and the Pyro's Incendiary Cannon, it appears as a tan rocket launcher with a gray tubular exhaust port, bulky barrel and a gray handle.

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