Let's do this Texas style. Click to listen — 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.
