The melee weapon of the [[Soldier]] class is a folding '''Shovel''' (also known as ''Entrenching Tool'' or ''Spade'').  Dealing significant damage, the shovel is a good alternative to the [[Shotgun]] when an opponent is too close to safely use the [[Rocket launcher]]. For its [[Critical hit]] animation, the Soldier swings it from the left in a backhand motion.
