- The Hotrod flips down over the Engineer's face when he is holding a building's blueprints or hauling a building.[1]
- Additionally, a Spy disguised as an Engineer currently wearing a Hotrod can have the hat flip down on his face upon switching to the Electro Sapper. This can be used to detect Spies.
