The Engineer is a unique class because of his ability to construct Buildings. He can get his teammates to the front lines faster with Teleporters, create a powerful Sentry Gun to ward off enemies and can build Dispensers to supply armor ammunition to his teammates, and can be used as a very deadly trap. The Engineer's low Health and average speed make it important for him to rely on his Sentry Gun, other Buildings, and his teammates for protection.
General
Building
- Crouching after jumping will allow the Engineer to stand on his Buildings.
- You can rotate the sentry by selecting the options in the special menu. Changing a Sentry Gun's direction allows you to place it in corners and other odd spots.
- If you're planning on building a Sentry Gun in a forward area, consider building a Dispenser first, to supply you with Metal to upgrade and repair the Sentry Gun. Also build near locations with ammunition pickups to speed construction, and ask your team to leave them for you and promise them a Dispenser in return.
- Your Sentry Gun can damage you. If an enemy runs through your Sentry Gun's line of fire and you get caught between the Sentry Gun and the enemy, your Gun will fire at you causing damage and possibly a humiliating death.
pickups are not available, but Ammo pickups are.
