The Cow Mangler 5000 is a Rocket Launcher for the Soldier.

The weapon has the ability to fire charged shots that deal mini-crits, as well as disable buildings for 4 seconds. However, it deals less damage to buildings, and it cannot fire random critical hits. The weapon does not use ammo, but the weapon can only be fired five times before the Soldier has to reload the weapon. The Soldier reloads the weapon via pumping a handle on the side of the weapon. Each pump reloads one charge.

It cannot crit, even when forced to.

The weapon is part of The Victory Pack. According to the comic, the weapon was found by the RED Leaderboard class soldier.png Soldier in a rocket that crash landed as well as the Righteous Bison.

Charge shot mechanic

The player can press the right mouse button to charge the weapon, which requires full energy (i.e. the Cow Mangler 5000 bar on the bottom right corner of the screen is full). Firing one depletes the energy, forcing the soldier to "reload".

It is possible to rocket jump with a normal shot, but not with a charged shot.

The weapon takes approximately 3 seconds to charge and the soldier moves at revved-heavy speed (roughly 37% of maximum speed, as opposed to his normal 80%) as he is charging the weapon. A charged shot can disable any Engineer's building for 4 seconds and deals mini-crits.

A charged shot ignites nearby enemies when it explodes. As well as the player who shot it if it explodes close to them.
