Information
Upon taunting with the Equalizer equipped, the Soldier throws his weapon to the ground dramatically, cracks his knuckles, then rips a Grenade from his bandolier, and pulls the pin. Upon completion, the Soldier and anyone slow, unaware or simply unfortunate enough to be within 6 feet of him will be instantly gibbed. This move will also destroy buildings if they are close enough. Because of the area of effect nature of this taunt, it can affect multiple targets. It is necessary to kill someone using this taunt to gain the 'Spray of Defeat' achievement. As a taunt, this can still be used during Humiliation to kill the winning team members as they come barreling into your spawn, as well during Stalemate. It is possible to survive this taunt when buffed to 300 health by a Medic. Before the January 13, 2010 Patch, equipping the Gunboats greatly reduced the damage, allowing you to perform the taunt and survive with plenty of health to spare, even without being overhealed.

Notes
- If you're overhealed, you will survive the explosion. This will cause you to get launched up in the air. However, if you wait too long, then your HP will fall below the level required to survive the taunt. Even if you do survive, you will be shot up into the air and if you don't have a low wall above you, you will fall to your death.
- When overhealed and using the taunt, you can do the weapon switch taunt bug to be healed while taunting, press g and q (last weapon button) at around the same time, you'll be able to be healed or Übered while performing the taunt.
- After the December 21st, 2009 update, if you had the Gunboats equipped, you could survive the explosion with more health left over. However, this was fixed in the January 13, 2010 Patch.
- If someone kills you while you are performing this taunt, they will be credited with the kill with the grenade icon.
- Despite the fact that the soldier only carries 2 frag grenades, this taunt has no "ammo" and can be performed many times while overhealed. His model also continues to show 2 grenades, even after the taunt has been performed and a grenade is clearly used. Similarly, you get an infinite number of Equalizers. This can be very useful for refilling the ammo of teammates, as the Equalizer the soldier throws to the ground can be picked up for ammunition and metal.
Trivia
- This is the only attack in the game that uses grenades (save the Demoman's grenade launcher).
- The grenades on the Soldier's bandolier slightly resemble M67 fragmentation grenades, despite the fact these grenades don't even exist in the time Team Fortress 2 takes place.
- This is the only kill taunt in the game that has any effect on the person who performs it (not counting the oktoberfest self healing taunt)
