He’s standing guard at spawn
The voice actor forTeam Fortress 2’s Soldier characterdied earlier this yearafter contracting the Covid-19 coronavirus, leading Valve to add a pretty extensivetribute to Rick Mayto the game. The prominent bronze memorial statues and title screen update only lasted through the month of May, but Valve have now updated the game with a smaller, permanent tribute.
As with the original tribute which was quietly mentioned in the game’s update notes, the permanent addition is listed in theAugust 21st update notes. One of the bronze statues from the original tribute has been added to a busted up silo on the “cp_granary” map.
Looks like the location of the statue is the one used in the animated short “Meet The Soldier” in which The Soldier gives a speech with an interesting interpretation of Sun Tzu’s The Art Of War. The decapitated heads of his captive audience sit in the foreground.

It’s definitely a nice touch for Valve to roll the temporary tribute into something lasting, if a bit smaller.
