Engineer


Weapons: 1.) Spanner - more than just a last resort crowbar clone, if you 
             hit a sentrygun or an ammo & armor dispenser, you can repair it, 
             stock it, upgrade it, etc. If you hit a friend with it, you
             repair their armor.
         2.) Railgun - an automatic energy pistol, desn't fire as fast as
             the nailgun, but hits are quite painful.
         3.) SuperShotgun - the double-barreled big brother
             of the shotgun


Grenades: 1.) Hand-grenade - standard frag. grenade
              EMP grenade - this is by far the coolest grenade in the TFC 
              arsenal. The grenade explodes and sends out a pulse that 
              detonates any explosive in the area of affect. Nasty on 
              demomen and anyone carrying a high amount of explosives.

Abilities - build sentryguns. These motion-tracking gatling guns mow down 
            any enemy within its range. Upgradeable to level 3, which can
            launch rockets every three seconds. Can't detect spies that are
            disguised as its team's color, though, so keep careful watch
            for suspicious activity.
          - build ammo & armor dispenser. These are portable vending machines
            that give the user ammo or armor, their choice. The dispensers
            make their own armor and ammo over time, but if you want to add
            your own, hit it with your spanner and make the selection.
          - repair teammates armor by hitting them with spanner
          - able to regenerate ammunition over time(never seen this in
            action, though).


Comments:
The engineer is the best defender of the base. Able to build sentryguns which
will mow down enemies on sight, he is a valuable asset in base protection.
Also able to build ammo & armor dispensers, which are needed where a resupply
room is not easily reached. To build a sentrygun or an ammo & armor dispenser,
open up your build menu by pressing the special ability key, select what you
want to build, and find a good place to build it, because you can only build 
one of each. Build sentryguns in spaces where enemies will have a hard time 
running past it without getting a scratch, namely wide open spaces where 
enemies frequent. Keep in mind that it takes a second for the sentrygun to 
lock onto an enemy, so if you place it in small areas, scouts might run past 
it before it could get its sights on him. Don't place it in areas where enemies 
can easily destroy it, such a around corners, where demomen could bounce a few 
grenades off the wall to destroy it. Place ammo & armor dispensers in places 
where a resupply room might not be easily reached, such as flagrooms and 
command points. Remember to check your sentryguns and ammo & armor dispenser's 
statuses at the lower left of the screen. If their health or ammo or armor is
low, bring out your spanner for some maintenance. Remember that upgrading
and repairing takes metal. Collect metal for your spanner by getting extra 
armor. Use EMP grenades in roomfuls of enemies, because most likely the 
enemies will have some type of explosive on them. A nasty trick you can do 
with the ammo & armor dispensers is place them in narrow corriders where
enemies will run into it. When an enemy runs into your dispenser, a message 
will appear, saying that enemies are using the dispenser. Remotely detonate
your dispenser to send the enemy flying!
