"The Escape Plan" is a melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a weathered and well-used pickaxe.

Once this weapon is equipped, it has the unique ability to increase the movement speed of the player as their health is diminished. Consequently, the weapon blocks healing from all Medic weapons when it is being used in game. Players wielding it are also unable to call for Medics. Its critical hit animation is a backhanded swing, striking the enemy with the sharp end of the weapon.

Taunting with the Escape Plan will perform the Soldier's Kamikaze kill taunt. A variation of the taunt is available to players who equip the Lumbricus Lid.

The Escape Plan was originally added to the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Split Equalizer 1, and was consequently added to the game in the June 27, 2012 Patch.

Update history

June 27, 2012 Patch (Pyromania)

  • The Escape Plan was separated from the Equalizer and was added to the game

Trivia

  • The Escape Plan and Equalizer were originally one weapon. The original Equalizer had the look of the Escape Plan.
  • In the Pyromania update, the weapons were split. Players received an Escape Plan with the exact duplicate of that weapon's attributes (Normal, Strange or Vintage quality, Name or Descriptions applied, Strange Parts, etc.) for each Equalizer they owned.
