The '''Grenadier's Softcap''' is an unlockable headwear item for the [[Soldier]] released with the Polycount pack. It is a part of the 'Tank Buster' pack, which was contibuted by 'Larolaro', and appears as a worn out black cap. The style of the cap complements the grungy black textures used in the 'Tank Buster' pack.
