 The Gunslinger |
|
- "Robot arm" redirects here. For the special Halloween 2012 item, see Voodoo-Cursed Robot Arm.
| “ | Say you have two things: a perfectly good hand, and a brilliant inventor for a grandfather. One day you stumble across a blueprint for an amazing-as-hell robot hand meant to replace an arm-stump. Wait, you have three things: the hand, the grandfather, and a saw.

The Gunslinger is an unlockable melee weapon for the Engineer. It is a robotic hand, comprising segmented finger parts, wires, team-colored casing and a pressure gauge that replaces the Engineer's right hand.
The device grants the Engineer an additional 25 max health, raising his total health to 150, promoting more offensive play at the cost of no random critical hits. In addition, the player is able to perform a three-part combo attack on enemies. Should an enemy be hit three times in succession, the third strike (a downward motion with a clenched fist) will become an automatic critical hit. This does not need to be performed on a single enemy, but the attack key cannot be released during the combo or it will be lost and reset.
The critical hit animation for the Gunslinger is a downward punch swing. After that, if left idle, the hand will jerk and produce a mechanical twitching noise before resuming the normal idle animation, though this is only a visual effect. The critical hit animation will also play when attacking friendly players.
Using the Gunslinger allows the Engineer to build the Combat Mini-Sentry Gun, instead of the standard Sentry Gun. The Mini-Sentry takes only 2.5 seconds to build, starts with full health upon deployment, costs only 100 metal, rotates 35% faster, and fires 50% faster. However, it cannot be upgraded or repaired, and each shot deals 50% of the damage compared to that of a normal level 1 Sentry Gun.
Switching from this weapon to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings.
Taunting with the Gunslinger equipped will perform the Organ Grinder kill taunt.
The Gunslinger is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Engineer achievements.

June 11, 2014 Patch #2
- Fixed being charged the incorrect amount of metal for a Dispenser when The Gunslinger is equipped.
Unused content
- The Engineer model has an attachment point named "exhaust" which is located where the exhaust port for the Gunslinger is. At one point, the Gunslinger may have have been planned to give off exhaust particles.
Bugs
- There is currently an exploit that allows players to use a Mini-Sentry by changing from the Gunslinger, while holding a Mini-Sentry toolbox, to any other Wrench outside of spawn.
- Weapon switching glitches can occur with the Gunslinger and any Wrench, which creates a glitched client view model of the Gunslinger holding the selected Wrench at the same time (which should be impossible as they are both melee weapons, and thus could not be used together). It is also possible for the Gunslinger to appear as the Engineer's default glove.
- It is possible to "store" combo hits if alt-fire is held during and after each hit. Releasing alt-fire will cancel out this effect. The same effect will be produced if another weapon is switched out after a punch while holding down fire and then returning back to the Gunslinger for the next hit. This can be exploited to store crit attacks.
- The right hand gib of the gibbed Gunslinger-wearing Engineer will still show his regular glove.
- If an ÜberCharge is deployed on the Engineer using the Gunslinger, it will show a wrong skin position of the invulnerable Engineer.
- The weapon does not glow when crit boosted.
- If connection to the item server is lost while equipped with the Gunslinger, the Engineer's right arm will be invisible on all weapons.
- Occasionally, the Gunslinger will not load in-game and the melee weapon slot goes missing. This glitch can be fixed by switching to a wrench of any kind.
- Hitting a person on your own team will still count towards the guaranteed critical hit.
Trivia
- The Gunslinger, along with the Frontier Justice, Wrangler, and Southern Hospitality, appears to have been designed by Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's grandfather. This is shown by a hidden link in the Engineer Update.
- The Gunslinger shares traits with the P.D.Q., an Engineer weapon from the closed beta. Both items share the ability to construct non-upgradable Sentry Guns in a shorter time span than normal. In contrast, the Gunslinger's 4x construction rate for the Mini-Sentry beats the P.D.Q.'s 1.5x construction rate for all buildings.
- The term "gunslinger" is used to refer to a person, commonly in the American Old West, who was dangerous and skilled with a gun.
- The concept of a robot arm item was added based on community feedback of the background blueprints in the Engineer Update teaser trailer. [1]
