− | |description = The '''Cow Mangler 5000''' has infinite ammo, and can slowly charge a powerful shot that mini-crits, disables Engineer's buildings and sets enemies on fire. However, it only deals 20% damage to buildings and only mini-crits when it would normally crit, preventing Soldier from making much use of a [[Medic#Secondary|Kritzkrieg]] ÜberCharge. In the standard 6v6 format, however, Engineer is rarely run outside of last point holds, and Medics almost always run the stock Medi-Gun, making the Cow Mangler a direct upgrade to the stock Rocket Launcher in nearly all situations. As a result, this weapon is banned in most 6v6 leagues. | + | |description = The '''Cow Mangler 5000''' has infinite ammo, and can slowly charge a powerful shot that mini-crits, disables Engineer's buildings and sets enemies on fire.

While the extra projectile speed and clip size make it excellent for easily catching fast-moving Scouts, and the reduced self-damage can be combined with Gunboats for extremely low Health costs on rocket jumps, its reduced damage allows enemies more time to retreat or counter-attack. While it deals respectable damage, the stock Rocket Launcher grants Soldier much greater firepower, making the Liberty Launcher a rare sight in competitive games. |

The buff allows Soldier to protect his team during pushes and retreats, but shares a weakness with the other banners: Soldier loses his Shotgun, preventing him from following up after running out of rockets. |

When equipped, Soldier gains passive health regeneration, which starts at 1 HP/second increases to 4 HP/second if he avoids taking damage for a while. The buff is extremely useful for improving a team's survivability during a push or hold, but like the other banners, denies Soldier use of his Shotgun. |

It has 4 shots in its clip, and deploys 15% faster. While the stock Shotgun is usually superior for the Pocket Soldier, the Reserve Shooter's stellar damage against blast jumping opponents makes it extremely powerful for a Roamer to follow up with after bombing the enemy combo, as staying power is less of an issue. As such, this weapon is banned in most 6v6 leagues. In Highlander, Soldier's mobility is greatly restricted by Engineer and Heavy, so the weapon remains whitelisted. |

It has four shots in its clip, reloads faster, and fires a single piercing energy bolt. While it can hit multiple opponents, enemies tend to spread out to avoid Soldier's splash damage, and the projectile is slow and easy to dodge. This weapon is almost never seen in competitive matches, as it its damage output is severely lacking. |

At point-blank range, it deals more damage than the stock shotgun, but even at short-to-mid range, it is often weaker, thanks to its reduced accuracy. This weapon excels at clearing out enemies at point-blank range, and can be used to follow up on Rocket Launcher damage near-instantly.

The lower his health is, the faster Soldier will run; at 40 health and below, he becomes almost as fast as a Scout. As a downside, the weapon reduces Medic's healing by 90% weapons while active, and all incoming attacks will mini-crit. This weapon is especially useful to flee from fights when the user has open ground to run through, and is the most common melee weapon for all [[6v6]] Soldiers. Additionally, the increased movement speed paired with the Soldier ability to damage himself also allows the Escape Plan to be used to run faster during a rollout. |

If holstering the weapon would kill him, Soldier will be unable to do so. As such, the Half-Zatoichi is rarely used in 6v6 but is sometimes equipped by roaming Highlander Soldiers for healing as an alternative to the Black Box. |

This | + | |description = The '''Market Gardener''' is used as a pick weapon, most often by Roaming Soldiers. If Soldier hits an enemy while airborne from a blast jump, he will deal a critical hit. This is a high-risk, high-reward weapon. If Soldier lands a hit on the enemy Medic, he is guaranteed a kill, as opposed to simply forcing the enemy Medic to use his ÜberCharge. If Soldier misses, he will die and accomplish nothing. The Market Gardener is far less popular than the Escape Plan because unless Soldier can remain undetected until the last second, he will almost certainly be shot down by the enemy combo before reaching his target. |
