Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer

Upon taunting with the Frontier Justice equipped, the Engineer pulls out his trusty guitar, plays a chord, and then bashes it over the head of any enemy slow, unaware, or unfortunate enough to be in his way.

Upon a successful hit, the enemy's head will appear to be pounded into their chest. This taunt has a wide range, making it capable of killing an enemy standing on the Engineer's head at the time. The range, however, does not extend below, as it will not kill an enemy the Engineer is standing on.

The Dischord can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.

Bugs

  • During the Scream Fortress event, when attempting to perform the Dischord taunt, but instead performing the Thriller taunt, several guitar gibs would still fall out of the player.
  • The model for the guitar is right handed, but the kill icon guitar is left handed.

Trivia

  • The guitar was first featured in Meet the Engineer.
  • Using a guitar in this fashion draws similarities between the Engineer and Template:W, the vigilante identity of Quick Draw McGraw.
  • The chord that the Engineer plays before smashing his guitar appears to be Eadd9.
  • The three sounds the guitar can make as it breaks were taken from the Valve game Template:W.
