Information

The melee weapon of the Soldier class is a folding Shovel (also known as Entrenching Tool or Spade). Dealing significant damage, the shovel is a good alternative to the Shotgun when an opponent is too close to safely use the Rocket launcher. For its critical hit animation, the Soldier swings it from the left in a backhand motion.

Damage

  • Base: 65 (59 to 72 damage)
  • Mini-Crit: 88
  • Critical Hit: 195

Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.

Function Times

  • Attack Interval: 0.8

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Trivia

  • The critical hit animation is the same manner of attack he uses to take out the spy in Meet the Soldier.
  • The shovel has a Normal weapon variant.
  • The soldier carrying a shovel as his melee weapon is most likley a reference to how soldiers in World War 1 and 2 were issued spades to dig trenches and fortifications.
