The Soldier spewing Spanish gibberish

The Conquistador is a community-made headwear item for the Soldier. It is a Template:W typically worn by Spanish Template:Ws.

The Conquistador was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "Morium".

Update history

February 2, 2012 Patch

  • The Conquistador was added to the game.

Trivia

  • The term Template:W mostly refers to Spanish adventurers, who journeyed to conquer lands in America. Additionally, "conquistador" translates literally from Spanish and Portuguese as "conqueror".
  • The hat was originally based on a conquistador hat featured in the movie Template:W. Though originally intended for the Demoman, the hat fit badly with the Demoman's default hat. The creator subsequently chose the Soldier to wear the hat, citing his adventurous and up-front position in battle as well as the similarity of his nature with historic conquistadors.[1]
