The '''Admiralty Anchor''' is a melee weapon for the Soldier.

{{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 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.

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.
