The Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer Update is an unofficial update fan-made by Samual and inspired by Diamo Lima's Guard Dog Update. It was released several monthes 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.
  • A snapshot was featured of a new map called Generator.
  • The Mothership's downside was the fact that the gas used to keep it in the air was Hydrogen rather than Helium, which means if it got shot or damaged it would explode and possibly kill both enemies and team mates.

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 Spies position by glowing.
  • 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 KOTH

Day 3

Day 4

  • The Machinist Chest would allow Engineer's to reload weapons faster and attach all sorts of accesories to his buildings. Although the article didn't go into any detail on what some of the attachments were, it did state that it was the Engineer's dream and that all other classes would worship him.
  • The article mentioned that if the customer called now, they would recieve a free Golden Machine Gun.
  • The bottom of Day 4 had a message from Samuel announcing that the update was indeed fake but how he was inspired by Diogo Lima and his Guard Dog Update.

Day 5

  • The Teleportal worked like a regular Teleporter was capable of attaching to walls or roofs. It was also 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. It also had "Enjoy The Cake Update" at the bottom.
