The Engineer

The Jag is a melee weapon for the Engineer. It appears as a modified monkey wrench, with a sharply-curved and pointed prong on the top, and a padded handle grip.

This weapon speeds up the construction of any building, whether on initial setup or redeployment, upon being struck by the Engineer. As a downside, the weapon also has a 25% damage reduction, making this wrench less suitable for Engineers who frequently attack with their melee weapon.

The Jag's construction speed bonus when hitting a building means that an Engineer can deploy a Sentry Gun 0.75 seconds faster, or a Dispenser 1.5 seconds faster, when compared to buildings being struck by the stock Wrench.

Changing melee weapons when the player has the Jag currently equipped will destroy all existing buildings.

Update history

December 21, 2010 Patch

January 7, 2011 Patch

  • The Jag's model texture was updated.
  • The Jag was given a unique kill icon.

Bugs

  • The head of the weapon clips slightly through the Engineer's left thumb in client view.
  • In certain instances, the weapon will not remove the Electro Sapper at the other end of a Teleporter.

Trivia

  • A Jag, or cleaning Jag, is a tool used to clean firearms and thereby improve their efficiency.
  • The Jag was first found fully textured in the Team Fortress 2 game files after the Mann-Conomy Update, and was displayed in the Steam Update image for the Mann-Conomy Update. According to Robin Walker in an email to community author Jman, the Jag was originally intended to be a part of the Engineer Update, and was eventually cut when Valve couldn't figure out attributes for it. The Jag was later added to the game as part of the Australian Christmas update.
