Disciplinary Action
“ | ” |
The Disciplinary Action is a community-created melee weapon for the Soldier. It is a riding crop with a wooden handle, fitted with a loose leather loop at the tip.
Upon striking a player with the Disciplinary Action, the struck teammate receives a speed boost for 2 seconds, and the user simultaneously receives a speed boost for 3 seconds; the boost amount varies depending on the class affected. When the boost is successfully applied, a wind breeze particle effect that is visible to all players surrounds the affected classes. Hitting another teammate extends the Soldier's existing boost by another 3 seconds, whilst applying the same 2 second boost to the new teammate. The length of these boosts can be extended indefinitely with successive hits. The speed boost is not applied when striking enemy players, with the exception of Disguised Spies, who take damage on hit but also receive the boost.
The Disciplinary Action has a hidden statistic which gives it a 70% longer range than most melee weapons, slightly greater than the Eyelander. As a downside, it deals 25% less damage to enemies compared to the stock Shovel. The extra range allows the Disciplinary Action to excel as a support tool, letting him boost the speed of his team to reach the front lines quicker, at the cost of less damage in close combat situations.
