The Panzer Pants is an Action taunt for the Soldier. When activated, the Soldier stands at attention and then a small tank pops up from the ground below and around him, which he then proceeds to drive. Pressing Primary Fire (default key: MOUSE1) will make the Soldier fire a shot and say a line. The shots are purely cosmetic and do not deal any damage to enemies. Ending the taunt causes the tank to explode; the Soldier will jump out with a backflip.
The Soldier will continuously drive the tank forward, being impossible to stop or reverse; it is possible to turn left and right, though. When turning, the Soldier will turn to the side being turned together with the tank's cannon, allowing players to shoot slightly to the sides as well.
