Weapons and Equipment
Melee | 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 | 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 | Placed on the ground, firing automatically when enemies come into range. | |
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. | ||
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 | Allows players to fly upwards slowly. | |
Allows players to disguise themselves as blocks. |

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.
