Simple Introduction to the Engineer

The Engineer is a soft-spoken, amiable Texan from Bee Cave, Texas, USA with an interest in all mechanical things. He specializes in constructing and maintaining buildings that provide support to his team, rather than being a front line class, making him the most suitable for defense. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammunition of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B. Because the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies, a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and under repair with his Wrench at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight. If need be, the Engineer can even pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations. While usually viewed as a defensive class, the Engineer has a selection of high-tech weapons that allow him to destroy projectiles or to build faster-deploying, less damaging Sentry Guns, which give him great utility at the front lines too. His Teleporters are also a key point to both the offensive and defensive team's success, allowing slower, heavier classes to reach the front-lines quicker.

Basic strategy of the engineer

Use the construction PDA to construct Sentry Guns, Dispensers, and Teleporters in places that are beneficial to your team. You need metal to build, repair, and upgrade your Buildings. Collect fallen ammo boxes or remains of buildings to get more metal. Hit your Sentry Gun with your Wrench to upgrade it with metal. Each level adds more health and firepower. Build Dispensers to provide your teammates with health and ammo. They also generate metal for you to use. Build Teleporters to help your team get to key locations with ease. Keep an eye out for enemy Spies attaching Sappers to your Buildings. Use your Wrench to remove Sappers. call for a Medic if you get hurt (and can't build a dispenser currently it aren't near your dispenser). Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

official description of the engineer

This amiable, soft-spoken good ol' boy from tiny Bee Cave, Texas loves barbeque, guns, and higher education. Natural curiosity, ten years as a roughneck in the west Texas oilfields, and eleven hard science PhDs have trained him to design, build and repair a variety of deadly contraptions.

Real name

Dell Conagher, Usually by his team he goes by Engineer but his real name is Dell Conagher.

Biography

Born with an ingenious mind and remarkable intelligence, Dell Conagher is the only son of Fred Conagher, the Engineer from the Team Fortress Classic series. In 1968, Dell was hired as a mercenary to fight on either RED or BLU during the Gravel Wars. In 1972, after Gray Mann took over Mann Co, Dell was fired along with the rest of the mercenaries. Shortly after being fired, he disappeared without a trace. As of now, Dell's whereabouts are unknown, even to the rest of his team. Six months later, he began to take care of a now messy-haired Administrator in her secret quarters. As her life and health began to fail, Dell installed a small life extender machine into her arm so that she could continue to live to settle an "old debt". He would later, install a second and more improved life extender machine (which he called the Mark Five), as the previous one is not working well. Later, he called the Administrator's assistant Miss Pauling, saying that he needs the cache of Australium from New Zealand, which is what the Administrator needs. Dell expressed dismay when Miss Pauling tells him that its in space, having been launched by the Sniper's birth mom Lar-Nah. Because the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies, a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and repair with them his wrench at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight. If need be, the Engineer can pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations.

Personality

Unlike the other TF2 mercenaries who usually talk loudly, the Engineer is very calm, collected, and soft-spoken, mostly speaking in Western slang, but enough provocation may cause him to start yelling or talking in an angry, and much louder tone. He takes great pride in his buildings, especially his sentry gun, to which he refers it as a "cute little gun". Engineer is strongly supportive and caring of his team, but most importantly the administrator, as when the latter's health began to fail in the coming months, he would do whatever he can to keep her life going so that she may settle an old score.

abilities

Genius-level intelligence: The Engineer is proven to be one of the most adaptive and high class of the entire merc and relies only on creating a multitude of machinery staggeringly rivalling the Medic’s medgun, with keen perception on targeting distant range opponents, The Engineer mentions he has scored eleven phd’s prior to being a mercenary.

Tf2 lore

The lore of Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a fascinating blend of humor, rivalry, and corporate intrigue. The nine mercenaries—Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy—are hired by two opposing companies, RED (Reliable Excavation & Demolition) and BLU (Builders League United). These companies are secretly controlled by the feuding Mann brothers, Redmond and Blutarch Mann, who are locked in an eternal struggle over the inheritance of their father’s land and business empire. The Mercenaries: Scout: A fast-talking, quick-moving Bostonian who excels in capturing objectives and harassing enemies. Soldier: A patriotic, rocket-jumping maniac who provides heavy firepower and can take a lot of damage. Pyro: A mysterious, flame-throwing figure whose true identity and motives are shrouded in mystery. Demoman: A one-eyed, explosive expert from Scotland who specializes in area denial and destruction. Heavy: A massive, minigun-wielding Russian who serves as the team’s tank and primary damage dealer. Engineer: A Texan genius who builds sentries, dispensers, and teleporters to support his team. Medic: A German doctor who heals and enhances his teammates, often with a maniacal glee. Sniper: An Australian marksman who takes out key targets from a distance. Spy: A suave, French infiltrator who can disguise himself and backstab enemies for instant kills.

Tf2 lore part 2

Why They Fight The mercenaries are essentially pawns in the Mann brothers’ endless war. The brothers’ rivalry dates back to their father’s will, which stipulated that the land and company would go to the last surviving son. This led to the creation of RED and BLU, each hiring mercenaries to fight for control over various locations and resources. The battles between RED and BLU are often over seemingly mundane objectives like control points, intelligence briefcases, and payload carts. However, these skirmishes are part of a larger, absurd conflict driven by the Mann brothers’ desire to outlive and outdo each other. The Administrator Overseeing these battles is the Administrator, a mysterious and manipulative woman who ensures the war continues indefinitely. She provides the mercenaries with their objectives and keeps the conflict going, all while pursuing her own hidden agenda1. TF2’s lore is rich with dark humor and satirical on corporate warfare, making it a unique and enduring part of the game’s charm.

Sentry Gun

The Sentry Gun is the Engineer's best source of damage. It is a stationary damage dealer used primarily to defend an area. Before building one, you may want to put up a Dispenser first because it gives you Metal and supports your team. For defense, place your Sentry where enemies constantly pass through (Ex: 2Fort - opening in metal grated ceiling above main hall and 2nd floor on courtyard). On offense, you must plant your Sentry and upgrade it faster than the enemy can take it out. For this, you may need assistance from a teammate. Your placement of the Sentry determines the effectiveness of the enemy's advancement. It's also a main target as an object that must be eliminated by the other team which means you have to constantly keep its ammunition filled and health full. Take the necessary actions, such as collecting fallen ammo boxes for Metal (fallen weapons were collected before in order to get ammo; however, the Gun Mettle update changed fallen weapons to fallen ammo boxes) to follow through with these objectives. Also be sure to attack incoming teammates to make sure no Spies are attempting to sap your equipment. For defense, you want to get your Sentry to level 3 fast since you and your Sentry will be staying there for a long time. When on the offensive, don't try to upgrade to level 3, as most of the time your team will push the enemy team far beyond your Sentry's field of view. Instead, try to upgrade your Sentry to level 2, as it's much faster and will save precious Metal that can be used for other buildings. It is advised you settle down and make a 'fort' (level 3 Sentry Gun, Dispenser, exit Teleporter) in a good space to be able to repair your Sentry Gun under enemy fire while collecting Metal and regaining health and allowing friendly units to reinforce your defensive position. Corners and one-way spaces tucked away from the main action are ideal places to hunker down, as your Sentry will only have to deal with one front.

Mini sentry

For the mini sentry, it is recommended to rush out and place it at a place that enemies will be going, usually in a place like a choke pointer or near the payload.

Dispenser

The Dispenser is also a crucial part of the match. It dispenses health and ammo to teammates. Be sure to place it near your teammates so they can heal and resupplies themselves. Dispensers are not as durable as Sentry Guns, so try to build them behind cover. It is also another good tactic to put your dispenser next to another friendly engineer's dispenser to double health output, although this risks both being destroyed by a well-timed Spy or Demoman; however, it may be ideal to spread out the healing such as maps with more flank routes. The dispenser can also dispense an infinite amount of ammo to classes that do not reload based on magazines (The Heavy and the Pyro) and allows them to fire continuously.

teleporter

Although not as essential as the other buildings, Teleporters prove to be extremely useful on large maps. Make sure to place your Teleporters close to the battlefield but behind covers, as it is a high priority target for the enemy to destroy. When you've achieved the proper locations of your teleporters, your teammates (as well as yourself should you be killed) can make it back to the action much faster. Every level upgraded reduces the recharge time by 50%, so consider upgrading the Teleporters as soon as possible to let your team through and cover yourself. Should either part be destroyed, the Teleporter will revert to Level 1. While it is not required to know this, the Teleporter Priority Spray can be a good way of letting people know the most efficient teleport order. Scout should not use it due to the fact that he is the fastest class in the game and able to move across the map much more quickly. Engineers should be the first, followed by Heavies, then Medics, and so on with Scouts being the last on the list due to his speed.
