All a good soldier needs is their trusty shovel. The special spike attack is very effective for taking out large targets. The normal shovel attacks are good enough for groups of smaller threats, keep swiping and the crowd will thin itself out.
Make good use of your shout and grenades to stagger problems like ragers, crushers, maulers, bulwarks, and Reapers. The spike on your shovel should allow you to dispatch those problems while they are staggered.
If you encounter a big enough group of problem the plasma gun can be used to hit those groups.
