Melt him in a fire, like the fairytale?
Or bring him a paper doll (ballerina)?

Etheric attacks seem useless, as well as melee and stealth. Dynamite seems to ignore its armour, which might be a bug seeing as Nitro doesn't make a dent?

Sadly, no equivalent to Tin Shot for defeating the soldier with a Brick Figure installed. Also, by my count the soldier has to have at least 34 HP. Is it possible it scales based on something?

Vholes 09 Feb 2012 10:03

No (guaranteed) Myers sampling kit drop.

EDIT 4 Jan 2014

The tiny soldier whirrs to life, standing and growing… or perhaps you're shrinking. The question is quickly rendered irrelevant by the sound of gunfire.
