The Engineer

The Engineer Update, also known as the Mechanical Engineer Update, is an unofficial community-made update by Samuel Pires and inspired by Diamo Lima's Guard Dog Update. It was released several months prior to the official Engineer Update.

Day 1

  • Day 1 introduced a new building called the Mothership. It appeared as a small team-colored blimp that acts as a Dispenser. The idea of the Mothership was it was easier to move around when changing spots.
  • The Mothership's downside was the gas used to fly was Template:W, a flammable gas. If the Mothership was damaged it would explode and possibly injure both teammates and enemies.
  • A snapshot was featured of a new map called Generator.

Day 2

  • The Hellraiser was to be released on Day 2. It was a Nail Gun with a mini-container filled with radioactive gas provided by Mann Co. It was intended to give away cloaked Spy positions with a green radioactive glow.
  • The nails are supposedly made by Saxton Hale's teeth.
  • The Achievement Idle map was designed to let players either play the game or Idle in the spawn room. It was designed to be a King of the Hill.

Day 3

Day 4

  • The Machinist Chest would allow Engineer's to reload weapons faster and attach all sorts of accesories to his buildings.
  • The article mentioned that if the customer called now, they would recieve a free Golden Machine Gun, a reference to the popular Golden Machine Gun servers.
  • The bottom of Day 4 had a message from Samuel announcing that the update was indeed fake and explaining how he was inspired by Diogo Lima and his Guard Dog Update.

Day 5

  • The Teleportal worked like a regular Teleporter, except it was capable of attaching to walls or ceilings. It was designed to be thrown rather than carried.

Trivia

  • The Engineer wrote some notes next to the images of the Mothership on Day 1. He referred to it as "Engineering Project #25" and said he was getting tired of packing up and redeploying his buildings, although it wouldn't give as much metal or health compared to the stock Dispenser.
  • Day 5 was titled "The Fake was a Lie" rather than the famous quote from Portal that has since developed into a meme. It also had "Enjoy The Cake Update" at the bottom.
