Let's go!
The Soldier encouraging quick movement

The Disciplinary Action is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a riding crop with an old wooden handle and a faded brown leather whip.

Upon striking a teammate with this weapon, both the Soldier and the receiving teammate will receive up to a 40% speed boost (capped at Scout speed) for four seconds. The boost is indicated by speed lines surrounding the affected class, visible both to them and any other players. As a downside, the riding crop deals 25% less damage to enemies. Multiple teammates can be boosted at once.
