{{Quotation|Soldier, in the '''Admiralty Anchor''' [https://tf2classic.com/double_down/day3 promotional blurb]|This is the president's anchor, damn it. But until he returns my letters, it will serve its country proud as a weapon of war. We will relish the fear on our enemies' faces as we climb a building and throw this anchor from the roof at them.}}

The '''Admiralty Anchor''' is a melee weapon for the [[Soldier]]. It is a dark and slightly rusted ~~steel~~ admiralty anchor ~~tied around the soldier's waist with a rope~~. ~~While~~ equipped, it will appear on ~~the~~ rope ~~regardless of which weapon~~ the ~~user is wielding. While held, the anchor is disconnected from the rope, and replaced with a ring. Falling~~ while ~~holding the anchor causes the soldier to scream and wind up the anchor, holding it behind his head, gaining team-colored blur lines behind him~~.

The '''Admiralty Anchor''' is an alternate melee weapon for the [[Soldier]]. It's a dark and slightly rusted admiralty anchor. When equipped, it will appear on a rope around the Soldier's waist while inactive.

~~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~~.

While active, the Admiralty Anchor increases the user's gravity by 30%. Falling with it out fills up the "AIRTIME" meter, which turns red once the user has fallen long enough to take fall damage. Then, landing will deal damage in a radius around the user, with the range of the impact being larger the higher the user's velocity was. Landing directly on an enemy will result in no fall damage being taken.

As a penalty, being hit by projectiles in mid-air with the Admiralty Anchor equipped will deal critical damage.

The formula for the damage is approximately <br>

<big><math>\frac{v}{30}t_{air}d_{target}</math><br></big>

where <math>~~t_a_i_r~~ =</math> is the Soldier's airtime and <math>~~d_t_a_r_g_e_t~~ =</math> is the distance between the Soldier and the victim.

where <math>v =</math> the Soldier's velocity, <math>t_{air} =</math> is the Soldier's airtime and <math>d_{target} =</math> is the distance between the Soldier and the victim.

<br>~~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.
