Let's do this Texas style.
The Engineer on texan guitar combat

Kabong! is a taunt performed by the Engineer while carrying the Frontier Justice unlockable shotgun. When performed, the Engineer pulls out his trusty guitar, plays a few choice notes, and then bashes it over the head of anyone too slow, unaware, or unfortunate enough to be in his way.

Trivia

  • The guitar was first featured in Meet the Engineer.
  • Using a guitar in this fashion draws similarities between the Engineer and El Kabong the vigilante identity of Quick Draw McGraw.
  • RovertScott on the Steam Forums came up with a Guitar unlock with the exact same method of Taunt kill on 12-17-2009. [link]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1070987[/link]
  • Even when the Engineer doesn't hit anything, his guitar still breaks into pieces.
  • The model for the guitar is right handed, but the kill icon guitar is left handed.
  • Like the Soldier's Kamikaze, the Engineer seems to able to carry a limitless amount of guitars, always having another one ready despite how many he smashes. Unlike the Kamikaze, however, the Engineer isn't meant to be killed with his Taunt attack.
  • The chord that the engneer plays before smashing his guitar is an E natural.
  • When a character is hit by the guitar their heads are pounded into their chest.
  • The sound the guitar makes as it breaks has been ripped from Left 4 Dead 2, another Valve product.
