~ The Soldier

The Soldier is one of the 9 playable characters in Team Fortress 2.

Background[]

Jane Doe wanted to fight in World War II, but was rejected from every last branch of the military. Not wanting to let this stop him, he trained himself to become an expert in firearms and went to Germany to go on a killing spree. He went on several of his own tours and awarded himself medals that he created. He ended his killing spree in 1949, 4 years after World War II ended. A few decades later, he was hired alongside 8 other mercenaries to fight in the wars over miles and miles of worthless land.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Rocket Jump: Soldier fires his main weapon, a Rocket Launcher, at his feet and jumps, sending him flying through the sky. He can chain jumps together to fly farther, however he takes damage from each jump. There are ways Soldier can take less damage from jumping however.
  • "Kill me come back stronger pills": He stole these pills from Merasmus the Wizard thinking they were his heart medication. Soldier can come back after death, but it is unknown how long it takes for him to respawn.
  • Respawn: Due to the obsured ridiculous lore of TF2, Respawn is apparently somewhat canon. This means Soldier and his fellow Mercs can comeback to life should they be "killed."
  • Spellcasting: Thanks to the Spellbook Magazine, Soldier and the other mercenaries are able to find otherwise unobtainable spellbook pages, thanks to which they can perform magic spells. The spells are divided by the rarity of their pages
    • Regular Magic Spells
      • Fireball: Soldier will shout "Capatus Crepitus" and shoot a fireball out of his hands. 2 charges

Primary Weapons[]

  • Rocket Launcher: Soldier's default weapon of choice. Fires 4 rockets before having to reload.
  • Direct Hit: The rockets from this weapon fly faster and hit harder, but they have little explosion radius, meaning this weapon requires more aim and technique to use effectively. This weapon was given to the BLU Soldier to target the RED Demoman.
  • Beggar's Bazooka: Soldier loads 3 rockets and fires them all at once.
  • Black Box: Can only fire 3 rockets before having to reload, but each rockets restores some of Soldier's health.
  • Liberty Launcher: Holds 5 rockets instead of 4, with faster rocket speed and allowing the Soldier to take less rocket jump damage, but the rockets deal less damage to enemies.
  • Cow Mangler 5000: Fires lasers instead of rockets. This gun has unlimited ammo, but still must be reloaded after 4 shots. The weapon has a charge shot that deals massive damage, and lights the enemy on fire, but uses all of the 4 shots. Soldier found this gun in a rocket that came down from space.
  • Air Strike: Soldier can somehow load more shots into this launcher with the more kills he gets, and it fires faster while he's rocket jumping. Naturally, this launcher deals less damage to Soldier when he rocket jumps.
  • Rocket Jumper: A rocket launcher solely used for rocket jumping. Deals no damage to Soldier himself or enemies.

Secondary Weapons[]

  • Shotgun: Just a normal shotgun. Fires 6 shots before needing to reload.
  • Reserve Shooter: Shotgun that deals extra damage to airborn enemies, but only fires 4 shots before needing to reload.
  • Panic Attack: Holds 4 shots and then fires them all at once. Fire rate and bullet spread increases as Soldier takes damage.
  • Righteous Bison: Small laser pistol that shoots through enemies and hits any enemies behind them. Fires 4 shots before needing to reload and has infinite ammo.
  • Buff Banner: When Soldier deals enough damage, he can blow a trumpet to give him and any allies near him a damage boost.
  • Battalions Backup: When Soldier deals enough damage, he can blow a trumpet to give him and his allies a defensive boost that raises resistance to many types of damage. It also raises Soldier's overall health regardless of if it's charged or not.
  • The Concheror: When Soldier deals enough damage, he can blow on a conch to give him and his allies a movement speed boost and allow them to heal as they deal damage. It also gives Soldier a passive healing factor.
  • Gunboats: Shoes that allow the Soldier to take far less health from rocket jumps.
  • Mantreads: Shoes that allow the Soldier to stomp on peoples heads as he rocket jumps to deal damage. It also reduces push force from attacks.
  • B.A.S.E. Jumper: A parachute used to float in the air longer. Can be combined with weapons like the Air Strike and the Market Gardener for deadly assaults from the sky.

Melee Weapons[]

  • Shovel: Standard shovel. Due to it being made by Mann Co., it sometimes randomly bursts into flames.
  • Frying Pan: Self-explanatory.

  • Escape Plan: Pickaxe that allows the Soldier to run faster the less health he has. While active, the Soldier takes more damage and it reduces healing from outside sources by 90%. (Taunting With this weapon will cause the soldier to grab a grenade and thrust his fist in the air killing himself and any enemies around him.)
  • Half Zatoichi: Large sword that gives the Soldier more health when he kills an enemy. If he withdraws it without getting a kill, he takes damage. If he fights someone using the same weapon, he can one shot them. However, they can also one shot him if they use the Half Zatoichi.
  • Disciplinary Action: Riding crop that gives a speed boost to Soldier and any ally he hits with it. It has an extended range and deals less damage.
  • Pain Train: Speeds up capture rate of TF2 objectives, but makes Soldier take more damage from bullets.

  • Can destroy robots and machines with ease.

Speed[]
