Topic: [InfClass] Guide - Soldier

I post here a tutorial about InfClass soldier that I received. Thanks to Docc to wrote it.

The Soldier


The Basics: Soldier is one of the oldest classes, which has proven it’s worth. Soldier carries a pistol, a rocket launcher and can plant bombs. If the humans are victorious, along with engineers, soldiers will end up having the most points. Therefore, soldiers are essential for good defense and carrying the team.


Pistol. Pistol, the weapon that every class has, is no different on soldier. It can by used for discovering enemies when spamming in one direction. Each shot deals one damage.


Rocket launcher. Only soldiers and heroes have the original rocket launcher. It is also an ideal weapon for spamming or as a last resort when the infected are near. It can deal up to six damage (depends how far from the target the rocket lands). Technically, you can rocket jump, each rocket hurting you by three damage, but it is useless. This weapon isn’t used as much with soldiers, due to the fact that you got to pay great attention when you have you’re bombs set. Switching from your rocket launcher to your hammer will cost you some time, and the infected might get past your bombs.

Bombs. This is the killing weapon. A bundle of three bombs will spawn at a point where you use your hammer. A bomb will explode when you use your hammer again, simple as that. Again, you can hurt yourself if you are standing too close to the bombs and let them explode. They can deal up to ten damage, making it very effective for killing hordes of infected, but making it very easy to kill yourself too. Thats why you should avoid planting bombs and staying in small rooms, because they can easily hurt you. The great thing about this is that you can also kill enemies behind the walls (via picture). See guides for maps – these positions will be mentioned. Also, never ever put bombs on places where you can’t see. Ghosts can pass easily and then kill you unprepared.

Strategy: Soldiers can hold a position against hordes of infected, but is limited by the number of bombs. This makes an advantage and disadvantage compared to the engineer. Therefore, a soldier and an engineer is a great combination, each removing the disadvantage of the other. Teaming up with a scientist works too, but an engineer is better, due to the fact that both soldier and scientist have to come back when their traps are destroyed. Look at the pictures for example of basic well made bunkers:
