The Escape Plan is a melee weapon for the Trooper. It is a gray pickaxe with a chisel-end and wooden handle.
When the weapon is active, the user's speed will increase depending on their remaining health points and scales the lower it gets, but the user will take 15% more damage with it out, making it risky to use. It also holsters and deploys slower based on your health and deals 20% less damage, which means they're a sitting duck if an enemy does manage to spot them escaping with a low amount of health.
A risk-reward weapon that allows for a more effortless escape, if you know when you can safely escape but punishes you for misjudging and letting an enemy spot you for doing so.

Tips
- The Escape Plan is more of a "utility weapon" than a combat weapon, which means it's stronger if you equip it, but weaker when fighting against enemies.
- This is because the -20% damage penalty will make you only deal 52 damage per hit. It may not sound like a big deal, but enemy attacks do 15% more damage if you equip it, making it a bad idea to engage in melee combat.
- To defend yourself while on low health, use the Shotgun or its similar counterparts to avoid resorting to the Escape Plan for combat.
- Practice on evasive movement. You may be fast while on low health, but you also need to dodge. Remember that there's a 15% damage vulnerablity every time you equip this weapon.
- At the least amount of health, your speed is enough to outrun most classes, use this as an opportunity to retreat to a health pack.
- Use your primary weapon to rocket jump while at full health, and the Escape Plan at low health to move quickly around the battlefield.
