An invaluable defense tool, '''Engineer's''' Sentry Gun, Dispenser, and Teleporter are very helpful support utilities that greatly assist a team in defending a Control Point or Payload Cart. On offense, Engineer cannot attack directly, but can defend his team's territory, heal them as they retreat from combat, and bring them to the objective much faster.

In the standard [[6v6]] format, Engineer is an [[offclass]] on most maps, used primarily to defend last on most 5CP maps. When pushed back to the last point, a Scout or Soldier will often switch to Engineer and build a Sentry Gun to soak up damage and delay the enemy ÜberCharge - once it runs out, his team can counterattack. If his Sentry goes down, he will generally switch back to his main class and attempt to clean up damaged enemies.
+
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.
−
It is important to note that a well-placed Sentry will often prevent the other team from pushing in with a Kritzkrieg ÜberCharge, as it provides no defensive bonus, and the Engineer's buildings are unaffected by critical hits.
+
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 will only take base damage from critical hits.

A far cry from his minor role in 6v6, Engineer's buildings form the backbone of his team in [[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 Gun, 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 Engineer is also often used to push the cart on Payload maps.

main job is to defend the objective, deny the other team's pushes, and stall for time until the clock runs out. On Offense, his job is to get teammates to the front lines as quickly as possible and defend the ground they gain. However, Highlander presents a new risk in the form of [[Spy]], whose Sapper can disable and destroy Engineer's buildings. Engineer can also use such tools as The Wrangler and The Gunslinger to extend his effective range on Defense, or to fight alongside his team on Offense. On Offense, his life isn't as important, so he may be expected to sacrifice his life to push the payload cart or capture control points.

|description = The '''Shotgun''' is Engineer's stock primary. It fires 10 bullets every 0.625 seconds, each dealing 3-9 damage, depending on range. As the most reliable primary for direct combat, Engineer will often run it on offense, as his full attention is not required to maintain his buildings. Its large clip allows it to kill up to 3 enemies at full health, and doesn't punish Engineer harshly for missing a shot in 1v1 fights.

|description = The '''Shotgun''' is the default weapon for Engineer. Most engineers will stick to this shotgun for its reliability. Unlike other shotguns, the "stock" Shotgun has a clip large enough to kill three enemies without stored crits, allowing Engineers to engage multiple enemies at once in favorable circumstances. Additionally, the Shotgun's large clip doesn't punish engineers for missing a few shots.

|description = The '''Frontier Justice''' has only 3 shots in its clip. When Engineer's sentry is destroyed, however, it will gain two stored critical hits for each kill his Sentry landed, and one stored critical hit for each assist. Its small clip size prevents Engineer from taking Medic's ÜberCharge and charging into the enemy team; rather, he must use it sparingly, in self-defense or when supporting his team. The weapon is most commonly seen in [[King of the Hill]] maps, though most players will stick to the stock Shotgun for its larger clip size. After dying, Engineer may choose to equip the Frontier Justice if his Sentry is about to go down, use the crits, then switch back to stock in his next life.

|description = The '''Frontier Justice''' is a shotgun that stores critical hits for every assist and kill that the Engineer's sentry earns. The Frontier Justice is useful when the Engineer stays away from large fights and sticks to one-on-one encounters, where the high burst-damage and short clip are most effective. The weapon is most commonly seen in [[King of the Hill]] maps, though overall most Engineers prefer a larger clip and don't use it in competitive play.

|description = When fired, the '''Widowmaker''' consumes 30 metal, and regains 1 metal for each point of damage dealt to enemies, effectively reloading it. Engineer can only use the Widowmaker effectively by attacking enemies at close range, which is extremely risky and will get him killed most of the time. While it deals 10% more damage to the enemy his Sentry is targeting, this slight damage bonus is only noticeable at close range. It cannot be spammed at long range, as it consumes a lot of metal, which may be needed for maintaining Engineer's buildings. As such, the Widowmaker is rarely seen in competitive play, as it heavily punishes missing enemies.
+
|description = The '''Widowmaker''' is a shotgun that consumes metal on firing it and gains metal for damage done to an enemy. It costs 30 Metal per shot, but the weapon never reloads (It is instantly "reloaded" by picking up metal). The Widowmaker is rarely seen in competitive play because it restricts mid-range spamming and heavily punishes missing enemies. Engineers rely heavily on their sentries, so they can't take the risk of using up all their metal for a bit of damage. Ideally, the weapon could be used as a source of metal by dealing more than 30 damage with every shot, allowing the Engineer effectively infinite metal, but this process can be slow and risky because of the proximity to enemies required for that much damage.

−
|description = The '''Pomson 6000''' has 4 shots in its clip and has infinite reserve ammo, but fires 28% slower than the stock Shotgun, with a 0.8 second attack interval. It launches a slow-traveling laser projectile that cannot be airblasted or destroyed and deals the same base damage as the Shotgun (60), but only ramps up to 72 damage at point-blank range. When a Medic or Spy is hit by the projectile, he will lose up to 10% ÜberCharge or 20% Cloak, respectively, but this draining effect falls off at range. While the Pomson has the potential to deny the enemy Medic's ÜberCharge, the projectile is easy to dodge and is easily blocked by the rest of the enemy combo before reaching the Medic. Thus, the weapon sees little use in competitive games.
+
|description = The '''Pomson 6000''' is a 4-shot laser weapon that drains Cloak and Über on hit (if a [[Medic]] is hit by the laser he will lose 10% [[ÜberCharge]] and if a [[Spy]] is hit by it he will lose 20% cloak). The futher away a target is, the less of the Cloak or Über is drained. It is banned in all leagues because competitive Team Fortress 2 revolves around ÜberCharge advantages and the Pomson 6000 actively undermines this by allowing an Engineer to deplete an opposing ÜberCharge quickly and outside of normal league gameplay (killing the enemy Medic).

|description = The '''Rescue Ranger''' is a weapon that heals friendly buildings for 60 hp on hit. It fires arrow-like projectiles that do moderate damage to enemies. For the cost of 100 metal, an Engineer can use the secondary attack (default MOUSE2) on his buildings to instantly pick them up and haul them. While carrying buildings, the Engineer takes mini-crit damage. Engineers use the Rescue Ranger, with growing popularity, with level 3 sentries to kite ubers and heal buildings from a safe distance. This weapon allows the Engineer to stop turtling a nest and move the buildings to more useful, spread-out locations to aid his team more efficiently.
−

−
|description = The '''Rescue Ranger''' has only 4 shots in its clip and 16 reserve ammo, and fires bolts that move quickly and are affected by gravity. The weapon deals 40 base damage (the same as Spy's Revolver), making it a poor choice for direct combat. However, the bolt will heal friendly buildings for up to 60 health, consuming 1 metal for every 4 damage healed. This makes it more metal-efficient than Engineer's other wrenches, which heal buildings for 3 health per unit of metal. When the Rescue Ranger is deployed, Engineer can use the alt-fire button (Right-Click by default) to pick up any building within his line of sight, teleporting it to himself at the cost of 100 metal. However, he will be marked for death while hauling any building, making it more difficult for him to survive while doing so.

−
The Rescue Ranger is Engineer's go-to primary on defense, as it allows him to maintain buildings at a safe distance, and snatch them out of danger if needed. This allows him to stop turtling in a nest and spread out his buildings to more advantageous locations to aid his team more efficiently. However, this makes Engineer more vulnerable to Spy, as buildings cannot be healed or hauled while sapped.

|description = The '''Panic Attack''' is a primary weapon for Engineer, and a secondary weapon for [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]]. It deals 20% less damage per bullet, but fires 50% more bullets in a wide spread and deploys 50% faster. While it deals somewhat more damage at point-blank range (108, compared to the stock Shotgun's 90), it is fairly useless at mid-to-long range, thanks to its low accuracy. It is useful in tight corridors which force enemies into close combat, but is inferior to the stock Shotgun in open areas, as enemies will keep their distance from Engineer, preventing him from dealing much damage.
+
|description = The '''Panic Attack''' is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer, and a secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]].
 +
The Panic Attack starts with 0 rounds in its magazine. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the player will begin loading shells into the magazine port, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the player will fire all shots one-by-one. Up to four shells can be loaded and fired in this fashion. The Panic Attack will automatically fire all the shots in the barrel if the player attempts to load in more than 4 shells. Compared to the stock Shotgun, the weapon loads 50% faster and increases speed switch by 50%. In addition, as the user's health decreases, the weapon's firing rate and spread both increase, firing faster shots at lower accuracy when at low health.

|description = Engineer's '''Pistol''' functions similar to [[Scout]]'s [[Pistol]], but has 200 reserve ammo and reloads 23.6% slower (1.36 s vs 1.10 s). It has 12 bullets in its clip, fires every 0.15 seconds, and reloads its entire clip at once. Each bullet deals 15 base damage, which ramps up to 22 damage at point-blank range. While it might seem weak, it can deal up to 140 damage per second at close range if Engineer can hit every shot, making it an excellent backup weapon should Engineer run out of Shotgun ammo. It is often equipped alongside the Gunslinger, which gives Engineer a more combat-oriented role, and can be used to harass enemies at long range.

It holds 12 shots, and all of them reload at once.

−
|description = The '''Wrangler''' allows Engineer to manually control his Sentry Gun, greatly extending its range, increasing its firing speed, and giving it a 66% damage resistance, and a 66% resistance to repair and reloading. When aiming near an enemy, the Sentry will automatically lock on to their chest. While its moderate bullet spread prevents Engineer from sniping enemies at long range, it still deals respectable damage at this range. The Wrangler gives his Sentry a massive effective health pool, making Engineer's and his Sentry like a second Heavy, able to shred overextending enemies. However, Engineer can only attack targets that both he and his Sentry can see, and he must focus on tracking targets, opening him up to being backstabbed or headshot. Once Engineer holsters the Wrangler or dies, the Sentry will be disabled for 3 seconds before resuming normal operations - during this time, it will still have its 66% resistance to damage, repair, and reloading. Despite increasing Engineer's vulnerability to Spy, the Wrangler is undoubtedly his best secondary for defending, and is far more effective than the Pistol or Short Circuit when locking down an area.
+
|description = The '''Wrangler''' allows you to manually control your sentry giving you the ability to shoot farther ranges the sentry won't attack on it's own. When controlling it, the sentry will get a protective shield around it that makes all incoming damage do 66% to it but also reduces ammo and repair given to a shielded sentry. It is extremely useful at holding a point on a [[Payload]] map, however it will be much easier for you to be backstabbed since you'll have to focus more. The Wrangler doubles the firing speed of the sentry, and has a slight "aim-assist" that locks the sentry's aim to the enemy's chest, but at longer ranges, there is significant bullet spread, although there is no damage falloff. Upon death, a wrangled sentry will be protected for 3 seconds but also disabled, similar with switching off the wrangler.

On secondary fire, it consumes 65 metal and fires a large ball of energy that destroys most projectiles in its radius and deals 15 damage every 0.5 seconds to all nearby enemies. While sometimes useful for finishing off damaged enemies or tracking down cloaked Spies, it is more often used to destroy incoming projectiles like rockets, grenades and stickybombs before they can reach Engineer's team. It may be used on Payload Offense, as the card dispenses an infinite supply of metal.

It swings every 0.8 seconds, and deals 65 damage. Like most other wrenches, it takes 5 swings to build a Sentry Gun, and heals buildings up to 102 health per swing. Hitting a building at full health will spend up to 25 metal to build its "upgrade meter" - once the meter is full, the building will level up and the meter will reset.

When destroyed, its fragments will restore ammo but not metal. The weapon is often used in Highlander games, especially during offense, as turtling is not an option in this situation, and mobility is of great importance.

It will usually be used when attacking on a [[Payload]] map or in a [[5CP]] and [[KOTH]], since you will constantly be pushing the cart / moving back and forth on the control points, and will rarely need to control the same place for a long period of time.

Engineer will also gain a 20% fire damage vulnerability, but this drawback rarely comes into play, as Pyro's limited range and average speed will rarely enable them to even come close to Engineer's Sentry Gun. The Southern Hospitality is useful for tracking Spies, who will emit damage particles for at least 2.5 seconds after being hit. Most-often used in Highlander when turtling on the last point, it is almost always a slight upgrade to the stock Wrench, unless the map has good flank routes which allow the enemy Pyro to ambush Engineer.

Additionally, if both his Teleporter Entrance and Exit were constructed with the Eureka Effect, upgrading them will cost 50% less metal, making the weapon a great choice for constructing a defense during Setup Time. On larger maps Spy will often travel to the enemy spawn to destroy the enemy Engineer's Teleporter; the Eureka Effect allows Engineer to quickly rebuild it, or confront the enemy Spy directly.

It is sometimes useful to destroy one's buildings, as scrap metal dropped provides ammo for teammates. If Engineer destroys his own Sentry while the Frontier Justice is equipped, he will be granted Revenge crits if the Sentry landed a kill or assist.
