Ehee...YEEEEHAAAAW
The Engineer

The Dueling Banjo is a community-created Action taunt for the Engineer. When activated, a hay bale appears behind the Engineer while he pulls out a banjo, he then sits down and begins playing it. When the player ends the taunt, the Engineer places the banjo next to the hay bale and gets up, after which the props disappear. Pressing Alt-Fire increases the tempo at which the Engineer plays, and smoke begins to rise from his hands. Pressing Primary Fire returns the taunt to its original tempo.

The Dueling Banjo was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
