The Soldier is a class played in both 6v6 and Highlander. It is the most basic of the classes, and is a good all-around fighter. The Soldier's weapon of choice is the Rocket Launcher, a projectile weapon with good damage spread and range. The Soldier can adapt to many different situations and is a crucial class to have.

Primary

The Rocket Launcher

This is the default primary weapon for the soldier, due to the versatility of it. The combination of high splash and direct damage, four rockets, knockback and the ability to rocket jump make this the most popular choice for almost every soldier (and in many cases the only one they are permitted to use)

6v6 Soldier

Main Article: Soldier (6v6)

In 6v6, there are two main "types" of Soldiers: the Pocket and the Roaming Soldier. The Pocket Soldier focuses on keeping his medic alive and using heals to deal damage, take positioning on his enemies, and lead his team. The Roaming Soldier plays a fundamental role in initiating battles for his team by creating distractions and advantages, and supporting his team by controlling the flank, and in turn, the universe.

In Highlander

In Highlander, there is only one Soldier on each team. This Soldier often functions like a Roaming Soldier would in 6v6. As such, many 6v6 Roamer strategies can be applied to Highlander as well.
