The Engineer's various gadgets include the [[Sentry Gun]], an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the [[Dispenser]], a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and [[Teleporter]]s that quickly transport his teammates to the fray. |

Meet the Engineer | |
“ | Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer; that means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'What is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. — The Engineer on his job
|
” |
A soft-spoken, amiable Texan with a knack for all things mechanical, the Engineer (real name Dell Conagher) chooses to build and maintain buildings that benefit the team rather than engage in much direct combat. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and Teleporters that quickly transport his teammates to the fray.
However, the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies; a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and in good repair at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic, yet capable weapons combined with the assistance of his helpful hardware make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight.

- The Engineer appeared on the cover of The Teufort Times[2] for his part in the creation of crafting.
- The Soldier calls the Engineer a "cowardin' Canadian" in his domination lines, which may add suspicion towards the Engineer's Texan heritage.
- The Soldier may also be accusing the Engineer of being a 'Draft-dodger': Americans who did not want to enlist moved to Canada to avoid being drafted.
- The Engineer is the only class to have 1 Achievement, being one of the original General achievements (and not counting the proposed Engineer achievements).
