Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer

Upon taunting with the Frontier Justice equipped, the Engineer pulls out his trusty guitar, plays a chord, and then bashes it over the head of any enemy slow, unaware, or unfortunate enough to be in his way.

Upon a successful hit, the enemy's head will appear to be pounded into their chest. This dischord taunt has a wide range, making it capable of killing an enemy standing on the Engineer's head at the time. The range, however, does not extend below as it will not kill an enemy the Engineer is standing on.

As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.

Update history

July 8, 2010 Patch (Engineer Update)

  • The taunt was added to the game.

Bugs

  • During the Scream Fortress event, when attempting to perform the Dischord taunt but instead performing the Thriller taunt, several guitar gibs would still fall out of the player as soon as he started the taunt.
  • The model for the guitar is right-handed, but the guitar in the kill icon is left-handed.
  • If the player attempts to taunt with the Frontier Justice while having the command "tf_allow_taunt_switch 2", and switches the weapon whilst taunting, the guitar will break, and can be done endlessly(switching to another weapon then back to the Frontier Justice) and it also works if using Action taunts.

Trivia

  • The guitar was first featured in Meet the Engineer, and was seen at the end of Meet the Medic.
  • Using a guitar in this fashion draws similarities between the Engineer and Template:W, the vigilante identity of Quick Draw McGraw.
  • The chord that the Engineer plays before smashing his guitar appears to be Eadd9.
  • The three sounds the guitar can make as it breaks were taken from Left 4 Dead 2.
