Best Soldier Loadout?

[Heatmaker]

I was wondering what is the best soldier loadout for someone who sucks at all classes

I was thinking stock RL/Original, stock Shotgun and Escape Plan

What do you think?

no need to tell a loadout, you already use the best loadout.

Debatable.

for most players, it is [even if the shotty get swapped with buff banner/conch on some loadouts]

TL;DR: Always play Soldier

Trying to add on to this, eh?

The Stock RL is a great all rounder, but the CM5000 is good for situations without enemy sentries
The gunboats are good for people who rocket jump a lot, great for maps with little health kits or maps with a lot of verticality
The shotgun is a great secondary for a slow reloading rocket launcher, and is good at dealing with pyros
The escape plan is better for someone who’s gonna be on their own and away from their team, but the disciplinary action is better if you’re staying with the team

I’d say no solid best loadout for soldier, there’s weapons of his that suit some situations better than others without being too situational (Except for maybe the cow mangler)

In my perspective, there's two ways to play Soldier with a great degree of competence: roamer and pocket. To me, it really is up to the preference of a player, so for the OP, if you're going to be a roamer type, I'd suggest swapping your shotgun with the Gunboats. If you're gonna be a pocket, I recommend switching the Escape Plan with the Disciplinary Action

Rocket Jumper
Gunboats
Escape Plan

in general, the cm5k can outshine stock & original if there are no sentries or your team is not incapable of taking em out

shotgun is a good secondary to use, no doubt

if you wanna switch it up a bit, try cm5k/air-strike with panic attack. that kind of a loadout can crush pubs even more than a normal loadout + air-strike to PA combo is very deadly

Nobody mentions The Battalion's Backup.
It does a number of good things, like for example, gives Soldier 20 more health. Sounds low, but this means that Soldier can now survive one Sniper quickscope headshot followed by a bodyshot. Also, the slight increase to health pack recovery is nice.
And the buff itself is amazing.

Complete crit resistance, meaning that 1) Sniper cannot headshot you at all, and 2) Frontier Justice Engineers will not be able to use their crits on you, especially when combined with the halved damage taken from sentries and the 35% damage vulnerability to everything else.

Seriously, The Battalion's Backup is the best thing for taking out Sentry Nests and Snipers.

It is also great for pushes in general, I really like using it with the Direct Hit to further improve my Sentry Busting capabilities.

That said the Buff Banner issue more fun to use, especially with the Air Strike. 8 mini-crit rockets fired in quick succession can clean out a control point in no time.
