{{Quotation|'''The Engineer''' ''talking to a recently deceased corpse''|''How'd that plan turn out for ya, dummy?''}}

The '''Engineer''' is a soft-spoken, amiable man from Texas that has a love for all things mechanical, especially guns. He specializes in constructing and maintaining [[Buildings|buildings]] to help support his team, of which can be upgraded to a total of three stages, making him a suitable defense class.

Such buildings include the [[Sentry Gun]], a turret that when placed serves as effective area denial. The [[Dispenser]], a building that acts as a constant source of ammo and health to teammates surrounding it, shoring them and helping them maintain a forward position, though, it can also be taken advantage of by [[Spy|Spies]]. The [[Teleporter]], which is constructed to bring you from one place to the next instanteously. Optionally, he can also build a [[Jump Pad]], a building which provides more mobile movement option via going great distances in the air that can constructed twice rather than just once.

The Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve.

'''Location of Origin:''' Bee Cave, Texas, USA
'''Job:''' Area Denial
'''Motto:''' "I like to make things".
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.

''Main article: [[Basic Engineer Strategy]]''

As an Engineer…
* …you need metal to build, repair, and upgrade your [[buildings]]. Collect fallen weapons to get more metal.
* …you can do more than just maintain your buildings. Use your [[shotgun]] and your [[pistol]] to assist in fights and to defend your buildings.
* …your pistol has a lot of reserve ammo. Use it to lead enemies towards you and your [[Sentry Gun|sentry gun]], or go for a more offensive approach.
* …keep an eye out for enemy [[Spy|Spies]] attaching [[Sapper|sappers]] to your buildings. Use your [[wrench]] to remove sappers.
* …you are able to defuse the [[Dynamite Pack]] by hitting it with a wrench.
* …use the [[construction PDA]] to place sentry guns and other supportive buildings.
* …hit your sentrygun{{sic}} with your wrench to upgrade it with metal. Each level adds more health and firepower.
* …sentryguns aren't restricted to just defensive measures. Deploy them quickly in hidden locations in order to aid in an offensive push.
* …build [[Dispenser|dispensers]] to provide your teammates with health and ammo. They also generate metal for you to use.
* …build [[teleporters]] to help your team reach the front line faster.
* …remember to upgrade your buildings. Level 3 teleporters recharge much faster, allowing your team to keep the pressure on.
* …hit either the entrance or the exit of your teleporter with your wrench in order to repair and upgrade both sides.
* …hit {{Attack2}} to rotate building blueprints before you hit {{Attack}} to build. Use this in order to orient teleporters away from walls.
* …fully charged shots from your [[Coilgun]] can ricochet off walls and deal more damage.
* …the Coilgun will cause an explosion if you overcharge it. Use it to reach previously inaccessible areas.
* …you can swap out your teleporter in favor of [[Jump Pads|jump pads]]. Jump pads allow you and your team to reach high places.
* …your jump pads allow your teammates to jump forward with a lot of momentum. Deploy them in places that allow for quick rollouts.

{{Update history|
{{Update|2.0.0}}
* Added the [[Coilgun]]
* Added the Engineers{{sic}} pelvis hitbox.
* Fixed Engineers being able to haul [[Sapper|sapped]] [[buildings]].
* Fixed Engineers being to build out of bounds and building inside nobuilds

{{Update|2.1.0}}
* Added the PDA: [[Jump Pad]]
* New Engineer voicelines by [https://twitter.com/GetGianni Gianni Matragrano]
* Engineers with active [[buildings]] and [[Spy|Spies]] currently [[Sapper|sapping]] are now less likely to get autobalanced

{{Update|2.2.0}}
* Increased Jump Pad build cost to 100 metal (from 70)
* Increased Jump Pad build time to 8 seconds (from 5)
* Players using Jump Pad are now properly marked as airborne

== Trivia ==
*The Engineer was added to the original [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Team_Fortress ''Team Fortress''] mod to appeal to players who lacked skills required to perform well in first-person shooters.
**He was also added due to the developers of ''Team Fortress'' being inspired by the construction mechanics of the real-time strategy game [[Wikipedia:Command_%26_Conquer_(1995_video_game)|''Command & Conquer'']].
*He wears his hard hat backwards; however, this is not an uncommon practice among construction personnel.
*His favorite equation is, in fact, part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game, known as “Phong” on the Valve Developer Community.
== Comparison from ''Team Fortress 2'' ==
*''Team Fortress 2 Classic'' gave quality-of-life improvements to the Engineer that is absent and/or has not been fixed on live ''TF2'':
**Fixed the face textures of an [[Ubercharge|Übercharged]] Engineer, where previously his glowing goggles are either absent on BLU Engineer or misplaced to RED Engineer's cheeks.
**Restored the world model animations of Engineer making gestures with his right arm when playing "Thanks!" or any positive voice command.
**Restored a “Battle Cry” voice command where he says “Remember the Alamo!”. This voice line was lifted from prerelease versions of Team Fortress 2 and is a reference to a real-life battle cry used during the [[Wikipedia:Texas Revolution|Texas Revolution]].
