~Engineer's description in the menu
The Engineer is unlocked when the player crafts 50 items.
Overview
The Engineer is a combo of a Support & Defense operative. It can use its normal hammer to increase the Generators HP which is really useful in brutal as when an enemy attacks the generator, it gives more reaction time. Its 2nd perk, EMP Expert is somewhat decent, it can get an EMP Mine every 45 - 35 kills. Somewhat effective when you are getting chased by a swarm of enemies. It's 3rd perk called Sledgehammer gives you well...a Sledgehammer. It can pop Riot helmets off which could be helpful (mostly). It's only passive, Big Hands can make you hold more items from 3 to 6 items, useful in towers as you can hold up to 6 smoke grenades. Overall its a somewhat decent Operative but usually only used for the generator repairing hammer.
Strategies
- Due to the Big Hands perk you can equip a lot of items at once such as grenades and permanent unlocks which can allow you to have a variety of extra weapons and tools
- Using your hammer to increase generator max health can help it survive a few extra hits, although if the generator is being attacked it's probably game over. This however, does not stack with the Reinforced Generator upgrade from the MCD
Trivia
- The Engineer's tactical skin is one from Team Fortress 2, a RED engineer.
