6v6
Main Article: Engineer (6v6)
In 6v6, the Engineer is considered an offclass. Most often used on the map cp_gravelpit, the Engineer is only used to defend last on most maps. The main purpose of the Engineer and his sentry in 6v6 is to soak up damage and waste uber to let his team pop later. Occasionally, it may get a few kills as well, but for the most part the engineer waits for his sentry to die, then switches to his main class to get cleanup frags. It is important to note that a well-placed Sentry can prevent the other team from pushing in with a Kritzkrieg, as they will not be invulnerable and the Engineer's Sentry is immune to critical hits.
Highlander
Main Article: Engineer (Highlander)
The Engineer's main job in Highlander is to defend points and deny areas to the other team. Through the use of the sentry, the Engineer is easily able to defend and stall for a point in time. However, Highlander presents a new risk in the form of the Spy whose Sapper can destroy the Engineer's buildings. The Engineer can also use such tools as The Wrangler and The Gunslinger to be more effective on offense or to assist in defense.

The Frontier Justice has identical damage stats as the stock Shotgun; however, it has only 3 rounds in its clip and gains full crits for every sentry kill when the engineer's sentry is destroyed. The Frontier Justice has much less sustained damage than the Stock Shotgun due to its reduced clip size, but allows the engineer high burst damage with the Frontier Justice's revenge crits. | ||

The Pomson 6000 is very different from the engineer's other weapons because it shoots a beam projectile that doesn't require ammunition. In addition, hit Spies lose 20% cloak and hit Medics lose 10% of their Ubercharge. The Pomson 6000 is banned in every major competitive league because of its ability to remove Ubercharge from Medics. | ||

The Rescue Ranger is an Engineer primary weapon that shoots bolts that, in addition to causing damage to enemies, can repair the Engineer's buildings. With the Rescue Ranger equipped, an Engineer can pick up buildings from a range with a metal cost. While a building is picked up, the Engineer takes mini-crits. This is useful for moving buildings to places that are difficult to reach for an Engineer. | ||
