Ah! Life o' Riley!
The Engineer

The Rancho Relaxo is a special taunt for the Engineer.

When the player selects it from the taunt menu, the Engineer poses akimbo while a Toolbox unfolds into a lawn chair beside him, complete with six beer bottles on two metal shelves and a small team-colored umbrella. On the bottom shelf, the middle bottle is elevated slightly above the two bottles besides it. The Engineer then lies on the chair and proceeds to relax by sipping a beer, belching and saying the occasional voice line. The taunt continues until canceled by the player, in which case the Engineer will rise from his chair in surprise while it sparks and folds back into a toolbox. Any outside forces (such as a Pistol shot) will instantly cancel the taunt, regardless of whether or not the Engineer has sat down or is getting up.

  • Sometimes the bottle will lift into the air without the Engineer's hand moving.
  • If the Engineer spins fast and uses the taunt, the Engineer might not be on the chair.
  • Activating the taunt in front of an enemy using a partner taunt will cause the color of the chair to be the enemy team's.
  • If this taunt is used while in the Loadout Menu, only the Engineer will be visible.
  • The chair will not appear while inspecting the taunt from the backpack menu.
