Pocket Soldier
The Pocket Soldier is a variant of the Soldier in 6v6. He is part of something commonly called the combo, which is the Medic, Demoman, and the Pocket.
Loadout
The pocket soldier mainly uses vanilla weapons as a loadout, except for the melee weapons. Naturally, other weapons are available, but not commonly used.
Primary Weapon: Rocket Launcher
Secondary Weapon: Shotgun
Melee Weapon: Escape Plan
Rollout
The Pocket's rollout is usually simple, as it relies on the increased speed that the Escape Plan gives if damaged enough. Rollouts are usually composed of damaging oneself, and then running to mid, and waiting for the medic by the entrance to the mid point.
Main Roles
The three main goals of the pocket are as follows:
1 - Protecting the medic
2 - Lead pushes
3 - Effectively use ubers
There are a lot of other roles the Pocket has to fullfil at some point, these are just the main ones.
The 'combo'
The Pocket soldier is a very important part of the combo, as it is an effective bodyguard for the Demoman and Medic. The Pocket's job is also to watch main choke points with the combo, and to punish any enemies who overextend near choke points.
Mid Fights
The Pocket, being one of the most polyvalent 6s class, has a number of ways to approach midfights. Usually, this involves protecting the medic from bombing soldiers and scouts, while putting out consistent damage on the other team..
