The Engineer is a class in Ace of Spades. The Engineer was added in version 1.0 and is generally used as a support class.

Weapons and Equipment

Melee	Pickaxe	Digging tool that can also be used as a melee weapon. Removes a single map placed block in one hit and player placed block in two hits.
Primary Weapon	SMG	High rate of fire but relatively low damage. Useful at short, and with the use of the sights, medium range. Small clip size.
Secondary Weapon	Rocket Turret	Placed on the ground, firing automatically when enemies come into range.
	Block Cannon	Uses blocks from the players block wallet as ammunition, which land on the ground if they hit another player. Useful for building bridges, but a poor weapon.
	Mine Launcher	Fires projectile Landmines, which will bounce of walls until they land, but cannot damage players directly. Requires the Hurt + Heal DLC Pack in order to equip.
Equipment	Engineer Jetpack	Allows players to fly upwards slowly.
	Disguise	Allows players to disguise themselves as blocks.

Constructs

Like all the main classes, the Engineer can choose three Constructs. The Engineer has the most construct to choose from of any class.

Construct	Notes
Flare Block	Produces light. Not commonly used, but can be used to light tunnels or mark points of interest.
Caltrop	Can be used to build stairs or bridges.
Super Tower	Can be used to keep off the ground where the Engineer is vulnerable.
Ultra Barrier	-
Platform	Can be used to create bridges between structures.
Super Mini-Bunker	-
Super Dome	Very large prefab that can be used to quickly reinforce a base or hill.
Fort Wall	Can be used to provide cover from enemy fire.
Super Bridge	Can be used to make a protective bridge to bridge gaps.
Super Pole	-

Tactics

The Engineer is weak when used as a purely offensive class, as it's SMG is outclassed compared to the weapons available to other classes. Instead, the Engineer can be used in a support role, building defences and fortifications for his team.

With access to the Engineer Jetpack, the Engineer can reach high locations such as building tops with relative ease. This allows players to reach useful vantage points, or ambush players. Players should ensure they have enough fuel to reach their desired location, so they don't run out of fuel when flying upwards and die from the fall damage.

The Engineer is especially useful in the Demolition Game Mode. It's large block wallet allows players to repair their base quickly, whilst the Engineer Jetpack means they can access hard to reach areas of the base to repair them.
