The Air Strike is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a green atom bomb-shaped rocket launcher with a white checkered pattern near the front and tannish wooden handles. It fires a green and white missile with fins on the front and back of the projectile.
The projectiles fired by this weapon deal 15% less damage (both to enemies and the Soldier when rocket jumping) and have a 10% smaller explosion radius. While rocket jumping, its attack speed is increased by 65%, explosion radius is further reduced by 20%, and the rockets fired produce white contrails. In addition, on each kill using the weapon, its clip size is increased by one, up to 8 rockets after 4 kills.
If an Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron wielding Demoman, or a Sniper using the Bazaar Bargain kills a Soldier with kills on the counter, the number of kills will be transferred over to the Demoman's or Sniper's head count, as well as the Soldier's own head.[1] The reverse is also true.
The Air Strike was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Atom Launcher".
