The Pyro

The Soldier is a devastating, bulky predator who has an above average health and powerful rockets, but he lags behind with his cumbersome speed and ammo.

General

  • Keeping your distance will negate much of the Soldier's rocket power.
  • His slow mobility can cripple his attempt to catch up with a retreat.

Weapon Specific

A list of useful tidbits about the Soldier's arsenals, and how to counter them.

  • Mobility is key as this rocket launcher will grant the Soldier with more health each time he hits you.

  • Although there is practically no use in serious gameplay, the Soldier might use this to assault higher positions, so tread carefully with a height advantage.
