The Best TF2 Weapons for Soldier

In this post

Hide

The Soldier is considered to be one of the most flexible classes in Team Fortress 2 and many agree that it is the go-to class for every new player who wants to learn all of the in’s and out’s of the game. He is portrayed as a patriot from Midwest USA and is very capable of both offensive and defensive play due to his well-balanced mobility and survivability. The soldier can also wield a large variety of weapons and has a health pool only second to Heavy, so let’s take a closer look at some of the best TF2 Soldier weapons.

You can buy TF2 skins in two different ways:

Steam (has its own trading platform)
3rd party services such as DMarket. Because gamers want to trade without fees and easily withdraw money from their accounts (Steam does not provide such an opportunity).

Direct Hit

Type: Primary Weapon
Starting Price: $0.02

The Direct Hit provides the player with an 80% faster rocket speed, a 25% damage boost, and guaranteed mini-crit damage on all opponents who get knocked into the eir by either an explosion, grapple hook, or an enemy attack. To counterbalance this, the weapon has a 70% smaller splash damage radius.

Black Box

Type: Primary Weapon
Starting Price: $0.02

The Black Box is a community-created primary weapon and is essentially a black rectangular rocket launcher held together by gray fastening bands on the opposite sides of the weapon. However, what makes this weapon so great is not its looks, but its unique ability to restore up to 20 health points on hit which can be extremely useful. To counterbalance this, the Black Box has a 25% smaller clip size.

The Escape Plan is a melee weapon for Soldiers that comes in the form of an old rusty pickaxe. It was added to the game as a part of the Pyromania Update back in June 2012.

While using this weapon, the player receives a boost to their movement speed while their health slowly diminishes over time. Additionally, the user of The Escape Plan will receive 90% less healing from Medics and will become marked for death for a short period of time.

B.A.S.E. Jumper

Type: Secondary Weapon
Starting Price: $0.02

The B.A.S.E. Jumper is a secondary Soldier weapon that can also be used by the class Demoman in Team Fortress 2. It is a green backpack that has a parachute packed inside of it and a red handle that is used to activate it. The B.A.S.E. Jumper allows its user to deploy a parachute while in the air, thus slowing down the player’s descent and keeping them safe from taking any fall damage. Any soldier using the B.A.S.E. Jumper can still use all other weapons normally. A very useful item for a soldier who likes to spend a lot of his time in the air.

Concheror

Type: Secondary Weapon
Starting Price: $0.02

The Concheror is a box that contains a white banner with a diamond symbol on it, that fills up during combat. Just like the Buff Banner, when fully charged, the Concheror can be deployed in order to increase the movement speed of all nearby allies as well as grant them increased health regeneration. On top of that, the banner will also grant the Soldier and his nearby teammates the ability to heal themselves upto 35% of all damage dealt while the banner is active.

When playing a class-based shooter such as Team Fortress 2, it is very important to find a class that fits your personal preferences and playing style. Each of the classes available is different and unique in its own way which makes finding a perfect one for you difficult as it may take research as well as some trial and error. Luckily, you can save some time by checking out our TF2 classes guide.

Type: Secondary Weapon
Starting Price: $0.02

In essence, the Buff Bannerit is a flag mounted on a small backpack that comes packaged with a tiny bugle, both of which serve to boost the morale of your teammates. Once the Buff Banner is fully charged, it will grant the user and its nearby teammates 10 seconds of guaranteed mini-crits.
