The Soldier

Upon taunting with the Equalizer or Escape Plan, the Soldier throws his weapon over his shoulder dramatically, cracks his kunckles, rips a grenade from his bandolier and pulls the pin. The resulting explosion will gib the Soldier and any enemy too 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 most kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.

The player takes no self-damage from the taunt when they have the Rocket Jumper equipped, unless they are in Medieval Mode.

The kill icon for the Lumbricus Lid taunt was contributed by Psyke.
