The Admiralty Anchor deals the same damage and has the same attack speed as the [[Shovel]]. While it is the active weapon, gravity is increased by 30%, making your downward velocity increase 30% faster. Falling while this weapon is active fills up the "AIRTIME" meter, which fills up and turns red once you've fallen for enough time that you would take fall damage if you were to land. If you do land while holding the anchor with a full "AIRTIME" meter will cause a small earthquake, shaking the screen, kicking up dust particles and dealing damage in a radius around the impact, with the range of the impact being larger the higher your velocity was before impact. Landing directly on an enemy will result in no fall damage being taken. Be wary of when you switch to this weapon, as any projectiles will deal critical damage to you while airborne. This weapon will not get random critical hits. | The Admiralty Anchor deals the same damage and has the same attack speed as the [[Shovel]].

The formula for the damage is approximately {{code|((( | The formula for the damage is approximately {{code|(((velocity/30)*airtime)*distance from target)}}, where velocity ranges from 650 to 3500, airtime grants a proportional multiplier ranging from x0.5 to x3, and distance from target grants an inversely proportional multiplier ranging from x0.5 to x1.5. | ||
== Strategy == | |||
Due to the Admiralty Anchor's ability requiring rocket jumping, it is recommended that you use it in tandem with the [[Gunboats]] for the damage resistance, and the [[R.P.G.]] for the bonus jump force. | |||

* The Admiralty Anchor was teased in [[Jinn]] as an [[Achievement|easter egg]] but it was later revealed as Soldier's then-upcoming weapon after he attached a note to it that says "MINE!" with his signature. | |||
