Engineer

The Rancho Relaxo is an Action taunt for the Engineer.

When the player selects it from the taunt menu, the Engineer will put down a toolbox, which unfolds into a lawn chair, complete with several beer bottles and a small umbrella. The Engineer sits on the chair and then proceeds to relax by sipping a beer, belching and saying the occasional voice line. The taunt continues until canceled by the player, in which case the Engineer will rise from his chair while it folds back into a toolbox, unless it is canceled by an outside force.

Bugs

  • There is a glitch which can allow many chairs to be spawned by one Engineer.[1]
  • On occasion, a player will appear to be stuck in the Rancho Relaxo animation after holding the taunt between rounds. This hinders gameplay in that the hitboxes do not correspond with the model.
  • Entering on a teleporter and using the Rancho Relaxo when the player is about to be teleported will cause the weapon FOV to change. This can be fixed by switching classes or dying.
  • If you use this taunt while the re-spawn rooms switch team (i.e on Payload), the Engineer will sit sideways.
  • When taunting on moving platforms, the Engineer will move with the platform, while the chair may stay where you were sitting.
  • When taunting, sometimes the bottle will lift into the air without the Engineer's hand moving.

Trivia

  • The name of this item is a reference to a spa of the same name from the animated sitcom The Simpsons.
  • The Rancho Relaxo umbrella texture is a modified version of the Hard Counter texture, a cosmetic item for the Heavy.
