The Panzer Pants is a special taunt for the Soldier.
When activated, the Soldier stands at attention before a small tank pops up from the ground below and around him, which he proceeds to drive. Pressing Primary Fire (default key: MOUSE1) makes the Soldier fire a shot and say a voiceline. The shots are purely cosmetic and do not deal any damage to enemies. Ending the taunt causes the tank to explode, and the Soldier jumps out with a backflip.
The Soldier continuously drives the tank forward, being impossible to stop or reverse; it is possible to steer left and right, though. When steering, the Soldier turns to the side together with the tank's cannon, allowing players to shoot slightly to the sides as well.
