The Soldier

The Grenadier's Softcap is a 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 patrol cap. The style of the cap complements the grungy black textures used in the 'Tank Buster' pack.

As with all of the item set hats, this hat can be crafted from four Refined Metals and one weapon from the Tank Buster set.

Trivia

  • A grenadier was a specialized Soldier from the 17th-19th century that was charged with handling and throwing grenades and other explosives. The softcap, however, didn't appear in military uniform until the early 1940's, long after grenadiers had become obsolete. Given the hat's appearance of an M43 softcap as used by the German military, it's likely it is a reference to the Panzergrenadiers of World War II, against which the Soldier would have fought.
