Engineer update

  • Of all the current classes in Team Fortress 2, the Engineer is the last to have a major content pack planned for release. Valve have stated that they have been working on the Engineer Update on numerous occasions, one of the most notable examples is in the TF2 Official Blog post, Dammit dammit dammit dammit!.
  • On May 5, 2010, Valve released a 27-second teaser for the Engineer update. The teaser contains many things that may be hints about the Engineer's unlockable weapons. Later, in the June 11, 2010 Team Fortress 2 Mac Update Video, the Engineer is shown carrying what appears to be a modified shotgun with an odd device attached to the side and antennae. This could be a possible Engineer unlockable weapon.
  • On June 27, 2010, Valve sent an in-game screenshot to the Apocalyse Gaming Community as a thank-you present for hosting the Battle of Both Worlds event. The screenshot was accompanied by the following message by Robin Walker: "We didn't give you a photo of us signing. After some conversation here, we decided that a more fun way to prove that you did get the shirts from us is to give you something about the upcoming Engineer Update that could only have come from us. Please find this something attached."
  • On July 1, 2010, Valve released a patch adding a currently unreleased melee weapon for the Engineer: the Golden Wrench.
  • On July 2, 2010, the comic Loose Canon was released. This comic sparked speculation that the start of the Engineer Update had begun.
  • On July 5, 2010, Shawn posted an announcement for the official Team Fortress 2 group simply titled "link". The announcement only consisted of random text which links to the official Engineer Update page.
  • On July 5, 2010, the Engineer Update page was updated to include a new blueprint image of the 'Frontier Justice' unlockable shotgun replacement for the Engineer. First shown in the Mac Trailer, this shotgun boasts critical benefits dictated by how Sentries perform but only has 50% clip size of the original Shotgun and no random critical hits.
  • During the Engineer Update, the "Smelt Reclaimed metal" and "Smelt Refined metal" blueprints are disabled.
