Portal gun
Portal gun allows its user to place portals almost anywhere on the map. The only condition is that the portals need to be placed several blocks away from flags, spawn points and other portals. Left clicking places the azure portal, right click places the magenta portal. Both portals have a separate placement cooldown of 3 minutes and travel cooldown of 1 minute. A portal is destroyed by breaking any of its blocks. Its builder can also remove it by placing a new portal somewhere else.
The portal is used by stepping on the pressure plate. There is a 5 second wind-up during which the teleport can be interrupted by breaking one of the portals or killing the teleporting player. Using the portal makes a sound that can be heard from a moderate distance.
Tips
Engineer has no inherent mobility skills outside of their Portal Gun, so it is imperative to place portals as soon as possible, lest they get killed by a more combat-oriented opponent. The portals should be hidden, because they can be easily destroyed by anyone.
Team containing an Engineer should consider placing their spawn point near a lava lake, as that will give the Engineer a guaranteed lava bucket in every life.
