The Best TF2 Weapons for Soldier

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

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.

To counterbalance this, the Black Box has a 25% smaller clip size.

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.

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.
