Engineer is a support class based around building and providing mobility to their team. They can use their special item Portal Gun to create portals that allow for fast travel across the map. They also have their Remote Detonator, which can be used for controlled demolitions or minefields. Engineer gets an empty bucket, TNT as well as Flint and Steel, which make them useful in siege situations on either defensive or offensive side. Outside of those items, they have no combat advantage over other classes, which makes them one of the weakest classes in direct combat. They also spawn with blocks and Scaffolding, which allow them to quickly reach hard-to-reach areas such as the top of Last Watch or Grandma's Hut.

Tips
An 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.
Use your reveal dusts before death so enemies don't get them from you.
A 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.
