The Engineer complimenting his new friend on another victory.

The Ein is a community-contributed cosmetic item for the Engineer. It is a yellow canary perched on the Engineer's left shoulder, wearing a pair of welding goggles similar to the ones worn by the Engineer himself.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

The Ein was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Einstein".
