The Soldier leading a naval attack

The Hornblower is a community-created cosmetic item for the Soldier. It opens the Soldier's coat and adds a darker team-colored jacket underneath with buttons and gold trims, as well as adding several accessories to his default attire, which includes a large gold buckle to his belt and gold trims to the main body of the coat and sleeves.

The Hornblower was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
