The Original is a promotional primary weapon for the Soldier. Styled after the Rocket Launcher from Quake (the model of which was used in the original Team Fortress mod for the Soldier's Rocket Launcher and the Pyro's Incendiary Cannon), it appears as a tan rocket launcher with a gray tubular exhaust port, bulky barrel and a gray handle. It is currently unreleased.
