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. It fires a green and white missile with fins on the front and back of the projectile.

While rocket jumping, its attack speed is increased by 65%. In addition, on each kill using the weapon, its clip size is increased by one, up to 8 rockets after 5 kills. The projectiles fired by this weapon deal 25% less damage and have a 15% smaller explosion radius. As a hidden attribute, rocket jumping with the Air Strike causes 25% less damage to the Soldier.

If an Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron wielding Demoman kills a Soldier with kills on the counter, the number of kills will be transferred over to the Demoman's head count, as well as the Soldier's own head.[1]

The Air Strike was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Atom Launcher".
