The Engineer Update!


Finally, Valve is rolling out their final class update to Team Fortress 2. Every other class has gotten their time to shine, and now everyone's favorite Texan gets his turn. I'm super excited, despite not playing TF2 at all since APB was released. Engineer has always had a special place in my heart, and my hope is that Valve gives him some more mobile options making the "battle engie" playstyle more viable.

The first page is up, and soon after I make this post, the next one will probably be up as well. His first unlock, the "Frontier Justice", is the shotgun we saw in the "Mac Update" video. It has 3 shots per clip and can't get random crits. However, it stores 2 crits for every kill your sentry gets and one for every assist. When your sentry is destroyed (through self-destruct or enemy action) you can unload those stored crits into to some enemy faces.

Another feature of this update is the Golden Wrench. These collector's items are obtained through random crafting. Only 100 will exist though the whole world, so get crafting if you want one!

I can't wait for the next item, and I hope its not something anti-spy. Being a spy nowadays is difficult enough with the unlocks that already exist.
