Editing Soldier (section)

===Roaming Soldier===

The [[Roaming Soldier]]'s main job is to help one of the [[Scout|Scouts]] on the flank, and create weaknesses in the enemy combo so that his own combo can follow up. He is considered the most "disposable" unit of the team, and will often launch suicide attacks against the enemy combo in an attempt to force the enemy Medic to use his Übercharge - or kill him outright. In order to accomplish this, he must know all the nuances of a map - hiding spots, flanks, rocket-jumping patterns. By utilizing this knowledge, he can remain undetected or out-of-range until an opportunity presents itself. Even if he does not find a chance to attack, he can still relay information back to his team, who can exploit this knowledge to gain an advantage. To maximize his mobility while retaining his firepower, the most common loadout for a Roaming Soldier is the Rocket Launcher/Original, the Gunboats and the Escape Plan.

In higher levels of play, the Pocket Soldier will usually be the main caller; he will lead team plays such as pushes, retreats, ambushes, and even directing ÜberCharges.
