— The Soldier
|
” |
Upon taunting with the Equalizer, the Soldier throws his weapon over his shoulder dramatically, rips a grenade from his bandolier and pulls the pin. The resulting explosion will gib the Soldier and any enemy slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be within range.
This taunt will destroy any enemy players and buildings that are within approximately six feet of the explosion. The area of effect of this taunt allows the Soldier to kill multiple enemies, including any that are next to or even behind the taunting player. Enemies that inflict damage to the taunting Soldier before the explosion will be credited with a Kamikaze kill.
Performing the Kamikaze taunt with the Lumbricus Lid equipped will cause the "Hallelujah" sound clip from the Worms games to play, as well as a unique kill icon being used, while using the Holy Hand Grenades.
As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.
The kill icon for the Lumbricus Lid taunt was contributed by HyenaDip.

Trivia
- Despite the fact that the Soldier has only two grenades, this taunt does not consume any kind of ammunition. After execution the Soldier's model continues to show two grenades.
- The Equalizer that the Solider throws away disappears. This is to avoid a bug where the Equalizer the Soldier drops on death would be a second collectable weapon.
- The Template:W (神風, lit. "divine wind") were suicide attacks carried out by Imperial Japan's military aviators against Allied shipping towards the end of the Pacific campaign of World War II, by crashing their planes packed with explosives into Allied warships.
- The grenades on the Soldier's bandolier resemble MK2 hand grenades but with an oversized safety lever and a more blocky body.
