The Engineer is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. His primary skill is erecting various buildings to support the team and for area denial. He can upgrade and repair these items with his Wrench, which also serves as his unique melee weapon that can repair his teammates' Armor. He is equipped with the Railgun and Double-Barrel Shotgun, along with two powerful grenades, in order to engage enemies. However, his low health and armor prevents him from being a true offensive powerhouse.
Contents
Basic strategy
- Stay on defense!
- Collect Metal.
- Build and upgrade your Sentry Gun.
- Build a Dispenser, usually further forward of your Sentry Gun so your team can utilize it.
- Repair your teammates' Armor.
- Build Teleporters.
- Protect your buildings with EMP Grenades.
- Your Dispenser will damage enemies upon detonation according to how much ammo it has stored. You can use this as an improvised bomb.
- Your Sentry Gun is very susceptible to Nailgun fire. Try to kill any Medics close to your Sentry Gun before their Super Nailgun destroys it.
- Teleporters are invaluable to your team. Try to situate them so that they are not easily found or destroyed in order for them to provide your team with an alternative route.
- Your Railgun is not as effective as your Shotgun; use it sparingly.
- Use grenades to grenade jump to areas inaccessible by normal means and build Sentry Guns in hard-to-reach locations.
- Your EMP Grenade can be the most devastating grenade in the game. It detonates any ammunition carried on the victim. The EMP Grenade can do more damage if there are packs lying on the ground as it will detonate the ammo in them. They are also extremely useful in destroying enemy buildings and Demoman pipe traps. A player can also remove any excess ammo they are carrying in order to minimize the damage they receive from EMP Grenades. EMP Grenades will also make a Demoman's Detpack detonate after about a second delay from the EMP explosion.
- EMP's are not recommended for close combat. They can kill the enemy, but can also kill you instantly.
