Engineer responses

Voice responses are contextually triggered lines that play after the player has achieved something, for instance killing a certain amount of enemies with a primary or melee weapon, or the player has triggered something, like being set on fire. The Engineer has several vocal responses, all of which are listed below (excluding voice commands).

Certain voice responses can also be spoken by the Engineer Robot, if the same conditions are met. To hear these versions of the lines, press this button
